Billie Holiday, born Eleanora Fagan, was an iconic American jazz singer and songwriter. With her soulful voice and unique phrasing, she became one of the most influential vocalists in the history of jazz music. Known for her emotionally charged performances, Holiday's songs often explored themes of love, heartbreak, and social injustice.
Raised in a troubled environment, Holiday found solace in music from a young age. She began singing in Harlem nightclubs before catching the attention of record producer John Hammond. Her career took off with hits like "Strange Fruit," which addressed racial inequality.
Despite facing personal struggles and battling addiction throughout her life, Billie Holiday left an indelible mark on the world of music. Her distinctive style continues to inspire generations of artists today.

Back In Stock

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!
