A theatre and arts critic said a couple of years ago... "There are two types of people in this world... those that get Billie Holiday and those that don't". I do and have so for 35 years. We miss you Billie!!

But Billie Holiday WAS great. What exactly is your point? Are you pissed at people comparing Amy Crackhouse to Billie? Or do you think people only find singers amazing if we know that they have terrible private lives. Whatever, I don't think Amy can compare with Billie. Ever.

Several people confuse her name with Buddy Holly, but ironically they both died the same year (1959).

@MusicLoverBrian1 I'm right with you on this.

What a beautiful song and wonderfully sung by the great Lady Day! I also love the rendition that she does on one of her last albums "Lady In Satin" (this album is a MASTERPIECE!) which has such a gorgeous musical arrangement from Ray Ellis. I wish she sung more songs with strings and an orchestra.

Funny, I don't care, but remember how some talked about how physically beautiful she was before. Just holding on to my heritage, it's the suffering of her heart that really makes her beautiful. I only wish her to know how beautiful is her heart. Thank you Lady Billie, you will always be in my and perhaps in all of our hearts.

Der Song wurde von Abel Meeropol geschrieben!

Not the roughest of times could conceal her great beauty, great sense of fashion, her fabulous vocal persona and style and her intelligence. And her class and dignity. After her terrible childhood, I think dignity became extremely important to her. She certainly dressed the part; it's hard to find any photo of her where she isn't outfitted with absolute elegance.
