  • Would anyone happen to know what the piece of music is that plays in the background at the end of this clip? If you know, thanks in advance.

  • @onefarenheit the music when the "credits" are rolling? Or when Lady is talking?

  • @nigel1034 The music that can be heard at the time 3:20 until the end of the clip. Does that clarify?

  • @onefarenheit It's called "Tell Me A Bedtime Story" by Herbie Hancock(:

  • Thank you!!!!

  • @zunzemma, You're welcome(:

  • Awesome in every way!

  • @georgiesgirl13 Fortunately, after a few years Amy will be remembered only for her beautiful voice and music. ;) Billie's speaking voice so strange...probably damaged by drugs.

  • Thank you for giving a voice to Lady Day, I wish I was fortunate enough to hear her sing, or had sense to ask my grandmother who she was when she was just a name . Great talent, many hate Amy Winehouse but in life and death the girl was just like her.

  • "Cooking sewing, dusting..." doesn't sound like "settling down" to me-so glad the rigidity of gender expectations has loosened up so much since then! Easy to forget how narrow the world was for a woman-especially black, back then.

  • Thank you for finding this rare interview...there are times when she sounds clear and other times she is slurring is it safe to assume that she was high then?

  • @chucktown56 he was mckay juckie also.They went to jail in 56 that is when married her

  • She Married Mckay in 1957..So the interview has to between 1957& 1958

  • Thanks for sharing. Ive heard other interviews but never heard this one before.

  • Her way of speaking reminds me of Lester Young's.I heard him in some interviews i have,they have similar approach on bonding the words :)
