About Me:
 
My name is Nigel Jackson. And yes, I am 15 years old. It seems quite impossible to find a young Billie Holiday fan such as myself at this age, but I'm sure there are a few other people.
I am very different from the crowd I hang with. Sure, I listen to Rap and Hip-Hop daily, but my iPod is filled with song that never hit that genre. My iPod mostly has Billie Holiday on it of course. But I have a few other; Louis Armstrong, Bessie Smith, Fats Waller, Miles Davis, Charlie Parker, Dizz Gilespie, etc.
I'm just different. I listen to different music than what kids listen to today. And I'm very proud to be different(:
I am very "hooked" on Lady Day's voice. It's like no other.

I have tons of videos, so if you get bored, there are a ton of my videos waiting to be viewed, rated, and commented on(:

Thank you
Nigel

Hi, Nigel!

I was your age in the 1970s, and I felt the same way you do ! Don't lose hope, you will find friends who appreciate Lady Day --she is so classic ! Thank you for these videos !

Nigel, I was a radio dj in the states for a long time. What I love about Youtube is to find so many quality artists and performers and bands that are actually talented, supremely talented musicians. It is stunning to see that whole careers today are launched relying entirely, not partly, but entirely on auto-tune effects that are hardly subtle.

People like you remind me that not too long ago the human race demonstrated that it could make fantastic music-- song writers, lyricists, singers, arrangers, musicians, bands of every genre.

When I am not here I am listening to Motown, the Philly and Stax artists, even NewJackSwing in the 90's when the artists could truly, truly sing and croon.

Now, Nigel, please post a description from start to finish--the details of how you put together these videos wit the great sound quality!

You the man!

Great Tribute Channel you have here of The Great Lady Day! I must invite you and do hope you accept. Just love the fact that a person of your age shows so much love and respect to this...one of the greatest singers that the good Lord blessed us all with. Much Peace to you Nigel...Keep up the good work! I'll be back to your channel for sure!
