In the Eye of Billie Holiday Pt #1 (Picto-Ography)

PLZ COMMENT AND ADD 2 FAVORITES IF U REALLY, REALLY, REALLY LIKE IT!!!!

Part one of ? to the tribute to Billie Holiday 1915-1959.

This video (to me) is very delicate. I put my foot in it (as what grandma always says). I had a hard time finding these rare color photos, pictures before she became a star in 1932, and her funeral pictures. Thank u www.billieholiday.be for the pictures. I owe u a big THANK U and a huge hug =o). This video is made up of rare photos (ordered by year), medley of Billie Holiday hit songs (also ordered by year) and it is my first documentary. So I want it to make it look good. Part 2 is coming very soon I hope. Its Billie on film! Yawp. I will credit the people I got the videos from too. So thank u. It is currently in progress. Thank u so much to supporters (Renee Thomas & dorton39 [Mac McAllister]) and I will try to make u proud.

And note to the people that don't like my videos:
Give me a break. I am in sixth grade going on 7th, twelve years old, straight A student. Don't expect a blockbuster film. Who do I look like to u??? Steven Speilberg??? Anyway, love me, hate me, ur still making me more famous! =)

Wonderful Pics! Where can I find that last song, "Lets fall in Love?" It's the

best song I've ever heard her sing, back when they used real orchestras

and those real vocals. Thank-You Billie! Rest In Peace. Love M.

@TheManzfield7; that song is "For Heaven's Sake" from her Lady in Satin album(:

This is truly the best Billie Holiday Tribute I've seen so far. I have one question though Where did you get all these rare pictures of Lady Day? If you have more rare photos would you please post them? This video shows tons of rare photos of Lady that I've never seen before its like a rare glimpse into her life. I'm also a big Billie Holiday Fan and have been since 9 and i like the fact that there's another youngster out there like myself who appreciates good music .

BRAVO

@Lifetimepanther1944 go to Google and type in Billie Holiday discography. Click on the first link that appears, and they are all right there.

They have tons of rare photos. And I agree, it is like a rare glimpse into her life.

Oh my God, you did a wonderful job displaying Billie Holiday's life in 9 minutes. I am one of Billie's biggest fan, and I do not normally give a compliment unless truly deserved, and you deserve it! Awesome!

great photos!!! Do you know of any Billie Holiday Documentaries??? I've watched "Lady sing the blues" starring Diana Ross, but I'm after a more documentary style movie of her like Scorcese did with Dylan
