Title: Billy Holiday, Lady Sings the Blues
Added: Mar 4, 2008
Author: jujubeer
Duration: 7:30
Description:
Billy Holiday, Lady Sings the BluesBillie Holiday used drugs all her life. I do not believe she would be the same musician without it, just the same as if she were born a rich white kid! Her music comes from her experiences and her state of mind, which in most cases (as she seems to show in "Lady Sings the Blues") to be filled with pain and experience...she seems road weary if you will. Being a professional musician back then was a rough, poor, drugged experience. The music of the era seems to reflect this. As far as her musical technical ability, so what! She's great! She has more style in her fingernail than many other musicians that have the ability. I love her music...she's going to last forever :)

May 7, 2012 - I can't begin to imagine how she did what she did in her time. We will never be able to imagine the idiotic moments she had just to be able to 'sing'. Where was she able to sleep or use a bathroom??? Forget using the front door! And look at the musicians behind her. After the show they were shuffeld 'out'. No limo, just a will and a spit to give some extraordinary gift to the rest of us and to express their passion. The times may be changing but oh so slow.

May 14, 2012 - This was originally telecast live on a Sunday afternoon "cultural" program, "THE SEVEN LIVELY ARTS", on December 8, 1957 {"The Sound of Jazz"}. Lester Young was in such bad physical shape that he didn't "sit in" with the other jazz groups he was supposed to play with during the program. But, at 1:14, he found the strength to step forward and deliver a solo that Billie KNEW was "just for her"- and she acknowleged it at 1:35...and it was the last time they ever appeared together.
