  • Love this. @jjrobanus, it's not a talent show, nor "American Idol". It's the emotional

    stylings of a truly great artist near the end of her life. She's not just singing, she's telling a story in her unique way. Try to recognize this.

  • Thanks @felamerkin I have been waiting for this comment for some time. And thanks for putting it so succinctly.

  • I have always appreciated the way

    she delivered her songs.

    A woman who suffered alot of pain

    and sorrow unfortunately but it came

    out in her music.

  • You know at this point her was not anywhere near it's best. But her artistry, delivery, phrasing and emotional impact are truly amazing. A genuine and forever great.

  • In 1956 I was 10 years old, I listened to her , loved her voice, wish I could have met her

  • Billy Holiday and Vincent Van Gough were all soul; therein lies the depth of their shared beauty & pain... forever with us. *Gratefull*.

  • @Rabidburt

    nice thing to say

  • She is tell us a story of love, life, and deep emotion in this song. She is a master at poetic story telling and her music will last through time.

  • @felamerkin I'm just starting to listen to Billie after playing, writing and listening to music for the last 30 years. The off-tune notes and the slides give me the chills. This is like finding treasure, incredible voice. 

  • Brano favoloso, interpretazione magistrale. Magica Billie!!!
