Billie Holiday - I Love You Porgy

I love this song. I used to sing it to my little boy with his head on my shoulder drifting to sleep.

God, this is one of the best live performances ever. I love Billie.

this one gave me the shivers - -
I WAS alive in that era ..and this is one of the best moments of that time . . and there were some brilliant moments, believe me . .

Beautiful days!!! i wish i was born in that generation!

I believe you are romanticizing, and failing to draw parallels regarding the living standards and conditions. Her talent, and creativity were mostly influenced by her brutal and horrific life experiences. Billy's pain and despair fed her creativity and performing, and filled it with sincerity

Classy, jazzy women are sooooooo f'n sexy

what phrasing!

masterly

wow now that is real musiq she was so soulfully chilling...

That's a painfull one to watch, Especially at the end when the camera seems to stay focused on her and she's obviously in distress. She just puts her hands down to the side i resignation.

Love Billie
