Yea I remember seeing her live in 1939 when I was 25. I went with my dad. It was a great show. She sung I’ll be seeing you and it was amazing song. I know a bunch of musicians sung that song in that time period, but her version is the best.
I was six years old when Lady Day passed away for many years I did not know about her, only later did I come to know her through her music and now I am one more lover!
What a beautiful black woman she was! The inflection in her voice was intriguing whether she was singing or speaking; it drew you in. There simply was none like her.
She was a beautiful woman period.. I wrote this earlier we are at the 62nd anniversary of her death today. In a strange world I find myself in love with a person that’s of another race. That in itself in this day and age is not much of an issue. The person is a well know performer in some circles today. The person also had a substance abuse problem and did attempt to get help after an arrest and a brief incarceration. I don’t hold it against her. I was not involved or affected in any way, shape mean or form. Disparaging things have been said over the years about her. Honestly in my opinion society had failed her, she faced discrimination, she had people around her taking advantage of her, there was a concerted effort to destroy her and prevent her from being able to work. In the end all of the above took a toll and she started using drugs again. Smoking, alcohol and heroin and other drugs started taking their toll and in the end she didn’t survive. She may not have been perfect, but she was her own person. Her name was Billie Holiday and today is the 62 Anniversary of her death. In another place and in another time maybe things could have been different. In another place and in another time I could have truly loved Billie. In another place and time I could have held her and said “I love you”. She gave us her heart and soul and we abandoned her. I don’t fault her for what happened but it should have never happened. The sounds are timeless and even the photographs are timeless. Some of the songs mean so much to me and I feel like they always will. We lost a treasure 62 years ago a treasure that will be missed for an eternity. There will never be another Billie Holiday - but what do I know I’m just an average white guy.
Mal Waldron KILLED on the intro of "Nobody's Business" he not only followed Lady's every move, he kept creating more and more room for her without ever getting in the way! Mal Waldron was a BOSS. We don't say his name enough.
She accomplished so much in such a short life time. Thank you Ms. Billie Holiday, her music was ahead of its time and will forever live on. RIP forever❤️
The only singer I could listen to all day, everyday. Loved her devotion to her dogs , and she once said " I like to sing and sound like the instruments " That's a master. I truly believe this is why we are always in awe and NO ONE else will ever match that genius, EVER.
I think she had self loathing issues. She also blamed herself for her mother’s death due to her drug use. In ‘48-‘52 I would have worshiped the ground she walked on.
She recorded many of her songs over and over, some of them on Columbia, Commodore, Decca and Verve. And yet she never repeated herself. She always was finding something new in every song. She also would alter the melody a lot, respecting the composer's original intention but finding new viewpoints on it. She had three very clear phases to her style--the Columbia, the Decca and the Verve eras. She was always growing and transforming.
The amazing thing is how fresh her treatment of these is in this performance. She must have done each a thousand times if she did them once, and she is so present in every nuance, every ornament on the note.
1958. I wish she had found a way to stay straight so we could have heard her in the coming decades. Even this close to the end of her life's journey Lady Day is still great. Thanks for uploading.
Hope i'm not wrong but: Alto Saxophone - Benny Carter Baritone Saxophone - Gerry Mulligan Bass - Eddie Khan Clarinet - Buddy De Franco* Drums - Dick Berk Piano - Mal Waldron Vocals - Billie Holiday
Music Feign, Some years ago PBS did a documentary on the First Lady of Song, Ella Fitzgerald. She was in concert with Count Basic and the Count Basic Orchestra. On the last song of that show (I'm sorry, I cannot remember the name of the song), after Lady Ella sang, each of those musicians would be introduced and get their lick in. After each man would finish, Lady Ella would come behind them and emulate each one of those instruments with her voice, literally! I sat in my living room totally mesmerized because I had never, ever heard anyone who could do that with their voice.The audience loved it and the musicians enjoyed it. Lady Ella and Count Basic were in their element. I've heard some wonderful singers and a few in person, including the Queen of Soul, but there has been no one that I've heard who can sound like 10 different instruments. No one.
My late mother was a big fan of Ella Fitzgerald. I remember hearing of her before Billie Holiday, because my mother had LP Records of her. The late Frank Sinatra, stated that Ella Fitzgerald was the greatest female singer, that he ever performed with. And, that he was intimidated by her singing. There were many great female Jazz singers. Billie Holiday was among them. Billie and Ella, both had individual styles. It's just matters which style you liked?
@@curtisstewart9426 And I can agree with what you're saying. But my point is, I've heard no one whose voice can literally sound like an instrument. In articles that I've read about Lady Day, it was the way that she phrased her words and singing behind the beat. But most jazz singers have improvisational skills; that's what jazz is all about anyway, Improvising. But when it comes to the actual voice, Lady Day did not have a voice the way Lady Ella, Sarah 'Sassy' Vaughan, or even Carmen McRae. I've read where people are saying she was the greatest jazz singer. No! That would not be quite true. She did what she did well, especially before the dope and alcohol wrecked havoc on her instrument, but other singers could go and did go beyond Lady Day in terms of the sheer power of their instruments and how they used them.
@@geraldinetalley3664 My late mother also had LP records of Sarah Vaughan.. Yes, she did indeed have a silky smooth jazz voice. My mother had no records of Carmen McRae. And, I was never exposed to her recordings. Until much later as an adult.
@@geraldinetalley3664 When they say Billie is the greatest the mean Her songs and story And her style So why talk about Ella on a Billie video Ella has many of Her own Ella asked Billie for her Autograph Everyone from that Time looked up to Billie Carmen and Billie Birthday are day apart Sahara and Dinah Washington above influence by Billie
@@billie44I know exactly what I said and why I said it.If you read through this entire piece, then you know that I was making a point. But then, I really don't have to justify myself to you. Continue to stay well and safe.
I have loved her for years! Perhaps Sarah Vaughan was technically the greatest but Billie touches your heart somehow. Thanks for this and those beautiful colour pictures of her.
Thanks for posting this great concert from Lady Day! This is such a coincidence because I just purchased this album and I can't wait until it comes in the mail. Thanks for posting some songs from this very concert that will hold me until I get the album. I love hearing Billie sing "God Bless The Child". No one can sing it like her. I heard many singers sing it but not like her but this is her song and she owns it.
@honeybee7700 There are a lot of songs that she sung in which I don't think no one can touch or sing as great the way she did it. Songs like Don't Explain, Traveling Light, My Man, I'm A Fool To Want You (Sinatra and Shirley Bassey are the only other renditions of this song that I like), Strange Fruit, I'll Be Seeing You (again I also like Sinatra's version too), Sophisticated Lady and lots of others seems to belong to her and I don't know how anyone can top her renditions of them.
If it hasn't been done already, some President or other should make a public apology about how this National Treasure was treated in her last days. Formally arrested in her hospital bed? Disgusting! Maybe it has been done, I do not know...
It won't be Obama. His knowledge of, and interest in black culture, which is to say American culture, does not go back further than the 1980's. There's a better chance actually were HRC to be elected. Let's all pray, for a lot of reasons, that she does.
She didn’t know what a real man was like sad 😔 she’s so beautiful but was hurt inside from her past childhood and her drug abuse only GOD could help her wit that I wish the government didn’t kill her 😒💅🏽🌺Rip Lady Day
If given the chance and opportunity I could have loved her for a lifetime - I was born a little late. But I wrote this.. In a strange world I find myself in love with a person that’s of another race.

Lowell Thomas, Jr., Many have said that the autobiography, Lady Sings the Blues is not totally factual. There are a plethora of books available. One that I suggest is The Many Faces of Lady Day by Robert O' Meally.
nigel1034: Thank you soo much for this, not only the music But, the wonderful pictures. I have been a fan since i 1st saw 'Lady sings the Blues' awful movie (Diana Ross did wonderful not her fault,) i am only 54 yrs old, was born when she was still alive but, started to really decline from there on. Thank you again, is their anyway i could purchase those color photos of her? i would be very greataful, i also subscribed to your site. 'Long live the Lady' Thanx again...~
Trace Ellis Ross - Please consider a remake of " Lady Sings The Blues" My aunt used to make me watch it over and over. I think its time to presented it to a new generation.
You are a very special person. I love your singing, but I’m sorry so much horror occurred in your childhood. I can relate, but never accept domestic violence. May you be in peace and joy...still singing beauty

After watching US Vs Billie Holiday I been on BILLIE HOLIDAY EVERYTHING LOL
Me to.. Its just sad all a way round
I was at the MJF and heard this performance in 1958. I was 16 years old. Never forgot it.
Yea I remember seeing her live in 1939 when I was 25. I went with my dad. It was a great show. She sung I’ll be seeing you and it was amazing song. I know a bunch of musicians sung that song in that time period, but her version is the best.
I congratulate you on how lucky you are!
I was six years old when Lady Day passed away for many years I did not know about her, only later did I come to know her through her music and now I am one more lover!
According to !my math calculations, if you saw.Billie in 1939 when you were 25 yo, that would make you about 107 right now, am.I right?
According to my math, you would be approx 105 yo now, am I right?
What a beautiful black woman she was! The inflection in her voice was intriguing whether she was singing or speaking; it drew you in. There simply was none like her.
She was a beautiful woman period.. I wrote this earlier we are at the 62nd anniversary of her death today.

We will never hear another person sing like this. Fortunately we recorded her.
Lady Day ❤ the greatest singer that ever crossed this planet. 🙏 for this angel.
Her timing, her sense of space, intonation just complete admiration ! Love Lady Day !
No body can sing Willow weep for me like her
Mal Waldron KILLED on the intro of "Nobody's Business" he not only followed Lady's every move, he kept creating more and more room for her without ever getting in the way! Mal Waldron was a BOSS. We don't say his name enough.
She accomplished so much in such a short life time. Thank you Ms. Billie Holiday, her music was ahead of its time and will forever live on. RIP forever❤️
Her autobiography, LADY SINGS THE BLUES enlightened my teenage mind and her singing seared my heart and soul.
Remember she "never even read it."
She later said that the ghost writer and her then husband Louis McKay influenced what was put in that book, and a lot of it was fake.
The only singer I could listen to all day, everyday. Loved her devotion to her dogs , and she once said " I like to sing and sound like the instruments " That's a master. I truly believe this is why we are always in awe and NO ONE else will ever match that genius, EVER.
Billy once said no matter how many doctors and specialist tried to fix me they didn't know what was wrong inside
That's very sad to me. Racism was alot worser in the Billie Holiday era. Some female singers tried to sound like her back in that era.
Billie
Really Only God Could Help Lady Day But Too Bad No One Tired To Help Her Spiritually...
She needed serious psychological help. She probably was self medicating since her teens with marijuana and booze.
I think she had self loathing issues. She also blamed herself for her mother’s death due to her drug use. In ‘48-‘52 I would have worshiped the ground she walked on.
nobody tops Billie, she is the greatest.
Uwe Preißner
Amen To That!! Billie Holiday No Joke!! Lady Day - Herself. I Love Her.
Bought this Album about 25-30 years ago. Have listened to loads of her stuff, but this for me is absolutely the best
have you listened to billie holiday in ' first verves session "" with norman granz ?
She recorded many of her songs over and over, some of them on Columbia, Commodore, Decca and Verve. And yet she never repeated herself. She always was finding something new in every song. She also would alter the melody a lot, respecting the composer's original intention but finding new viewpoints on it.

Yes indeed!
The amazing thing is how fresh her treatment of these is in this performance. She must have done each a thousand times if she did them once, and she is so present in every nuance, every ornament on the note.
Billie holiday was so beautiful
The female Louis 'Pops' Armstrong.....love her!!
I Love Billie Holiday ❤ 🙏 ❤ 🙏.. R.I.P. Lady Day.
Don't know who said it " A voice like no other human sound ever brought to music." And don't we know it.
1958. I wish she had found a way to stay straight so we could have heard her in the coming decades. Even this close to the end of her life's journey Lady Day is still great. Thanks for uploading.

She doesn't need an Intro for any song, just say her name Miss Day "Billie Holiday" anything she will sings will be Great.

I bet it would be a gas, real people. Lady Day!
