Biography

Before Billie Holiday, pop and jazz vocalists were actors, emoting their songs from an imaginative perspective. Only the blues valued singers who sang as if they'd lived the trials and tribulations of their lyrics. Holiday changed all that, marshalling a memorable amalgam of infallible technique, indubitable spirit, and what would come to be called "soul". Born in Baltimore in the 1910s, she… Read more in Amazon's Billie Holiday Store

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best, January 15, 2001
By 
This review is from: God Bless the Child (Audio CD)
I happened upon this CD in a music store, and because it was on sale I decided to buy it. I wasn't quite sure who Billie Holiday was, I just remembered my mom talking about listening to her when she was young. Needless to say I didn't expect to relate to the music at all. To my surprise I absolutely loved the CD. The songs are timeless and Billie's voice is amazing, unlike any other I've ever heard. Now I listen to her music whenever I get a chance. I would recommend this CD to anyone, young or old. It's definitely a classic.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not the Tape, November 1, 2010
By 
This review is from: God Bless the Child (Audio CD)
I was looking for a CD version of the tape entitled "God Bless the Child". This isn't it. The tape has a bunch of Billie Holiday classics: "I can't pretend", "Ghost of Yesterday," "Falling in Love again", "Jim", "I Cover the Waterfront", etc. This CD has the same album title as the tape, but bears no relation to it, except for the title song. The tape is a lot better.
