    Sit around and cry

    I know I wont die

    Because I love him

  • Like only she can, Lady Day we all love u

  • @sanne8585 in fact Regina Spektor was inspired by Billy Holyday and Bessie Smith...both great singers....God bless them

  • @WAATOORMELOON Ain't that the song from Boondocks! That is a hard verse!

  • @PeppaFreeman How sad. I didn't know how she got hooked, but I sure hope those who introduced her to that crap have extra hot places in Hell.

    Thanks for uploading this, paracite187. One of my favorite singers and one of my favorite songs.

  • Listen here a**holes most of all entertainers are using or have used, and to Billie Holiday not to speak negative, but her white male companions that traveled with her on the road trips introduced her to heroin, to help her relax to perform and make them money!! Her being young and from a rough life was gullible enough trust them and do the drug (which one of them had to inject cause she knew nothing about it, and they knew she would get hooked).

  • Nada más importa...♫

  • I ain't gonna just sit around and cry. I know I won't die :D POW!

  • Excuse my lack of a proper adjective but there isn't one to describe this so: WOW

  • @soniamaebrown By no way am I discrediting or attempting to demean her talent. Even James Baldwin talked about her drug use in his essay "The Uses of the Blues."

  • @ASirensLullaby...Billie Holiday was an infamous drug user. Its probably the resulting scars from Heroin use.
