Billie Holiday
Eleanora Fagan (April 7, 1915 – July 17, 1959), professionally known as Billie Holiday, was an American jazz musician and singer-songwriter with a career spanning nearly thirty years. Nicknamed "Lady Day" by her friend and music partner Lester Young, Holiday had a seminal influence on jazz music and pop singing. Her vocal style, strongly inspired by jazz instrumentalists, pioneered a new way of manipulating phrasing and tempo. Holiday was known for her vocal delivery and improvisation skills, which made up for her limited range and lack of formal music education.
After a turbulent childhood, Holiday began singing in nightclubs around Harlem. After being heard by producer John Hammond, who commended her voice, Holiday was signed to Brunswick Records in 1935. Collaborations with Teddy Wilson yielded the hit "What a Little Moonlight Can Do", which would later become a jazz standard. Throughout the 1930s and 1940s, Holiday booked mainstream success with labels such as Columbia Records and Decca Records. By the late 1940s, however, Holiday was beset with legal troubles and drug abuse. After a short prison sentence, Holiday performed a sold-out concert at Carnegie Hall. However, due to her drug and alcohol problems, her reputation deteriorated.

Billie Holiday (broadcaster)
Billie Holiday (born in Guelph, Ontario) is the professional name of Canadian radio and television personality Amanda Dunn.
The daughter of a retired Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer, Holiday first became involved in radio at the age of 15.
She later attended Humber College's TV and Film Production and Radio Broadcasting programs. She began her professional radio career at CKDX, then a marginal dance music station in Newmarket, Ontario, north of Toronto. She moved to Toronto's KISS 92.5 FM as entertainment reporter, then became full co-host of the Mad Dog and Billie morning show with the departure Jay "Mad Dog" Michaels's first partner Daryn Jones. The show continued at KISS when it transitioned to an urban contemporary format, then moved to the sister station of KISS, adult contemporary station CHFI from 2003 to 2005. After a year-long absence from the dial, Mad Dog and Billie returned to the Toronto airwaves on August 8, 2006 on MIX 99.9 FM.
She was also a reporter of the Sound Source radio network, a host of the Canadian edition of televised talent search Popstars, and co-host of Rogers Cable community series Daytime.

Billie Holiday (album)
Billie Holiday ( MG C-161) is the third 10 inch LP album of original material by jazz singer Billie Holiday, released on Clef Records in 1954 (her final album would also be given the same title, prior to being changed to Last Recording instead). The recordings took place in 1952 and 1954. Holiday never entered the recording studio in 1953.
Content
In a 1954 review, Down Beat magazine praises the album, saying:
Two recordings, "What a Little Moonlight Can Do" and "I Cried for You" were also recorded by Holiday in the 1930s with Teddy Wilson's band, at the beginning of her career.
In 1956, when the 10inch format was phased out, Clef reissued the contents of this album on two different newly released 12inch compilation LPs. Five songs (tracks A1-B1) were added to A Recital By Billie Holiday (MG C-686), and the other three (tracks B2-4) were added to Solitude (MG C-690 ).

'Billie Holiday' is featured as a movie character in the following productions:
Lady Sings the Blues (1972)
Actors: Harry Caesar (actor), James T. Callahan (actor), Scatman Crothers (actor), Larry Duran (actor), Ned Glass (actor), Robert L. Gordy (actor), Jester Hairston (actor), Paul Hampton (actor), Byron Kane (actor), Bert Kramer (actor), Don McGovern (actor), Sid Melton (actor), Paul Micale (actor), Victor Morosco (actor), Norman Bartold (actor),
Plot: Born Elinore Harris, 'Billie Holiday' (qv) had a difficult teen and young adulthood period, which included working in brothels, both as a cleaning woman and a prostitute, and being raped. Through this difficulty, she dreamed of becoming a jazz singer. She got her initial singing break when she applied at a Harlem club that was looking for a dancer, but where she got hired as a singer. There, she met and fell in love with the suave 'Louis McKay' (qv). After this initial break, Billie wanted her singing career to move to the mainstream clubs in downtown Manhattan. She took a risk when she agreed to be the lead singer for the Reg Hanley Band, a primarily white group, who convinced her that she would have to make her mark in regional tours before her Manhattan dream could happen. As Billie tried to advance her career, pressures of life, including being a black woman, led to her not so secret substance abuse (especially of heroin), not so secret because of her increasingly erratic behavior, both on stage and off. As those around her, including Louis, worked to support Billie emotionally to get off drugs, Billie faced other issues, such as open narcotic use being a criminal offense, which in combination with the effects of the heroin use itself could be Billie's downfall despite her singing talent.

Quotes:
Louis McKay: [offering Billie a $20 bill] You want my arm to fall off.Jerry: I'll be a bum if you don't pull in fifteen bucks in tips tonight. Fifteen bucks. Now that's my definition of a good singer.
Mrs. Edson: Ain't it a shame how some of God's children have it so easy, while others have it so hard?
Piano Man: What she don't pick up from the top, she can pick up from the bottom.::Billie Holiday: I hope that works both ways!
The Rapist: I see what I want. [motioning to Billie] And this is it.::First Madame: Well, you can't always get what you see. [Pulling him to the door] And since you don't want what you CAN get, you know where you can go. And this is it!
Louis McKay: Pardon me, lady. I must have got you mixed up with someone who used to reside as Missus, um... what's her name?::Billie Holiday: If that's what you thought, nigger, why'd you give me them damn flowers? Why didn't you just give me some money?::Louis McKay: I did.
Louis McKay: I'm going out for a while. And when I come back, I don't want to find you here.
Billie Holiday: How do you like your eggs?
Billie Holiday: [after Louis discovers that Billie shoots up] Sure I've taken a few shots, but only when I needed it,::[Louis sighs]::Billie Holiday: but i'm not hooked, Louis. I'm not.::Louis McKay: Only when you needed it. What do you think hooked is? All I had to do is listen to your voice on the telephone and I knew. Who the hell do you think you're talking to? One of those ofay cats you be running around with? I've been on those streets all of my life. I know what that shit is!::Billie Holiday: It's good, ain't it?::[Louis then gets up and takes her suitcase and starts packing her stuff]::Billie Holiday: Wait, Wait, Baby! Oh, no.::Louis McKay: We're going home. Now!::Billie Holiday: [Stopping him] Wait, hey, baby, wait. See, you don't understand. Now, you don't know how it is when people are looking down at you and laughing at you and think that I'm a loser. And if I go home now, I'll think that I'm one, too. I gotta prove it to them. I gotta prove it to myself.::Louis McKay: What're you proving with that needle? That you're not woman enough to make it without a crutch? A magic way out when the going gets a little too rough? I want you to make it, too, baby. But not this way. Not this way.

Until The Real Thing Comes Along
Sammy Kahn / Saul Chaplin / Mann Holiner / Alberta Nichols / L.E. Freeman
I'd wait for you
I'd slave for you
I'd be a beggar or a knave for you
If that isn't love, it will have to do
Until the real thing comes along
I'd gladly move
The earth for you
To prove my love, dear
And its worth for you
If that isn't love, it will have to do
Until the real thing comes along.
With all the words, dear, at my command
I just can't make you understand
I'll always love you darling
Come what may
My heart is yours
What more can I say?
I'd lie for you
I'd sigh for you
I'd tear the stars down from the sky for you
If that isn't love, it will have to do
Until the real thing comes along
With all the words, dear, at my command
I just can't make you understand
I'll always love you baby
Come what may
My heart is yours
What more can I say?
I'd lie for you
I'd cry for you
I'd lay my body down and die tor you
If that isn't love, it will have to do
