Re: Billie Holiday - Strange Fruit

Wow, I'm really glad someone posted this, cause I love the song but never think to look it up. Strange Fruit is just a Masterpiece and I love Billie Holliday, I'm also a huuuge fan of Lady Sings The Blues avec Diana Ross.

Billie Holiday - Lady in Satin - 03 - You Don't Know What Love Is

 
Billie Holiday: A Singer Beyond Our Understanding

Most artists belong to their times, but Billie Holiday, born 100 years ago Tuesday, fits in the present. In a way, she died before her time, just as the country was beginning to talk about race, drugs, feminism and misogyny — all of which converged in her life.

Her death in July 1959 was only briefly noticed in the media. Few would have imagined then that the centennial of her birth would be an occasion for remembrance. But legends are about a state of mind, not a state of being, and some thrive best when they're not in competition with a living person. This is especially true of Holiday.

My first exposure to Billie Holiday was in my early 20s. After clubbing all night a group of us went back to a friends house to chill. At sunrise someone put on Lady in Satin. Her voice was totally devastated by life at that point but it was such raw emotion.
