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.

The music showcased here dates from 1935 to 1939, the period immediately following her signing to Brunswick Records, and is still regarded by many as representing the peak of her output. Discovered by noted record producer John Hammond, who'd go on to unearth such disparate talents as Aretha Franklin, Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen, Holiday was teamed with some of the best jazz musicians around, and her use of rhythm and the emotion she put into her performances immediately turned heads.
