Billie also wrote 'Now Baby or Never '.
Wish they had more film of Billie, I am shocked there is so little.
Would have loved to see her back in the 30's and 40's at the Apollo or Savoy.

I was born at the wrong time, at the wrong place. Love her so much. Billie Holiday was a authentic and great Artist.

@lilchuy01 Billie wrote this song, ...along w/ quite a few others, some became standards = "Don't Explain". I must say that I feel the same as far as voices you mention, which grab me and take me down whatever road they choose,...as 'Rose' sings in one of B'ways greatest musicals: "You either Have it,....or you've had it." Billie & Judy may very well have been lyricist Stephen Sondheim's inspiration. I must add Piaf as well.

In her voice the pain becomes beautiful
