Pure butta all the way around. Sarah and Ella mighta had more range but no one matched Billie's lowly tone.

@willy1986tralara Drugs got nothin to do with it, in my opinion. Everyone made a lot of noise about Amy Winehouse's drug use but what does it matter? She sucked when she was sober, too. Billie had a habit like Mother Theresa and she was a bad motherfucker. Irrelevant. Like you said, music is the bottom line.

Was there ever so much talent so in synch (Coleman Hawkins,Lester Young,Ben Webster,Gerry Mulligan,Vic Dickenson,Roy Eldridge) on the same stage? Oh, and Winehouse and Holliday both did their fair share of drivelling. You only have to listen to the music to know that they were soul-sisters, albeit one forever younger and so sillier. Actually, you only have to listen to the music - period.

@markdaniel72 Are you seriously going to sit there and compare Billie Holiday and Amy Winehouse? Really? The only thing they have in common is that they're both dead. Only one of them was a loss, however. It would seem at first glance that some cat dropping names like Bean, Pres, Gerry, Ben Webster et al must quite probably know something about the music. You clearly do not. Get a fucking clue, brah.
