Billie Holiday remains (four decades after her death) the
most famous of all jazz singers. "Lady Day" (as she was
named by Lester Young) had a small voice and did not scat
but her innovative behind-the-beat phrasing made her quite
influential. The emotional intensity that she put into the
words she sang (particularly in later years) was very
memorable and sometimes almost scary; she often really did
live the words she sang.
Her original name and birthplace have been wrong for years
but are listed correctly above thanks to Donald Clarke's
definitive Billie Holiday biography Wishing on the Moon.
Holiday's early years are shrouded in legend and rumours

Review about Billie Holiday Beautiful Song | Reviewer: Quay
------ About the song CRAZY HE CALLS ME performed by Billie Holiday
This song has simple, but beautiful and meaningful lyrics. It's like saying, "He says I'm crazy for the things I'll do for him, but I love him so much that I will." I just love these lyric, alone. Set them to music, and it becomes a piece out of this world.

Tragic ending for wonderful artist | Reviewer: Jean McCoy
------ About artist/band Billie Holiday
It's too bad that Lady Day had such a tragic ending to her life filled with misfortune. I do believe that she was able to grasp some memorable times doing what she loved, which was singing, her voice truly was as a delicate instrument and she is sorely missed in the world of Music. A lot of young people today probably don't have knowledge of who she was and what she had to offer the music world, I say too bad for them and maybe she will be discovered by those who are unknowing. I hope that she is kept alive by people who do have knowledge of her and love and respect what she had to offer. I was fortunate enough to gain knowledge of her first through my father at a very young age and then was able to share the love for this artist with my husband. Billie Holiday is my favorite artist in the world and while there are numerous other artists out there that are just phenominal, Lady Day, is my number 1 favorite.
Thank You
Jean
