Holiday, Billie
Lady Sings The Blues
The tragic tale of Billie Holiday involves a fractured childhood, a seemingly endless series of abusive men, and
addictions to heroin and alcohol, all played out in the public eye after targeting by the FBI. Nevertheless, her huskily
expressive voice is timeless and the way she brought blues phrasing into jazz was hugely influential. The 1956 release
Lady Sings The Blues took its name from her shocking autobiography and the disc finds her on fine form throughout, the
landmarks including the immortal Strange Fruit, the defiant God Bless The Child, the mournful No Good Man and the great
title track. Classic Lady Day all the way!
