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.

Billie Holiday - You've Changed (LIVE)

A very rare, live recording of the late, great Billie Holiday singing "You've Changed," a number from her penultimate album, "Lady in Satin," live. I do not know any details about where or when this recording was done (if anyone does, PLEASE let me know), but it is clear that Holiday is not in great voice at this time, as it within the last year of her life.

Billie Holiday & Benny Goodman "Your Mother's Son-In-Law" LYRICS historic 1st Billie Holiday record!

Duration: 2:44
Updated: 09 Sep 2014

Billie Holiday's first recording- = "Your Mother's Son-In-Law." From a Benny Goodman session (his first session as a leader), November 27, 1933. The label calls this "Your Mother's Son-In-Law," but Billie correctly sings "My Mother's Son-In-Law," which means she is telling her boyfriend "I want to marry--if you are my mother's son-in-law, that means I'm your wife!" Musicians here in Benny Goodman's pick-up band are Charlie Teagarden, Shirley Clay, Jack Teagarden, Art Karle, Buck Washington or Joe Sullivan at piano (there is dispute over who plays piano here--that dispute doesn't matter to me since the instrument is not prominent anyway), Gene Krupa, and a few others. This was cut at the very end of a Goodman session during which Ethel Waters sang two vocal refrains. I view Ethel Waters as a minor talent, not a giant. But I love "Your Mother's Son-In-Law"! Jazz critics complain that Billie was forced to work with trite songs in her early days. I no longer read jazz critics because of such silly pronouncements. Billie Holiday handles so-called "trite" songs in interesting ways, and I prefer Billie's early "trite" material to her later renditions of songs by Cole Porter, Gershwin, and other song-writing giants. This is Billie Holiday's first studio recording. She was 18. The young and unknown singer (well, not unknown to producer John Hammond) provides a vocal refrain for Benny Goodman's studio band when the nation's economic depression was horrible! Billie had been working at Monette's Supper Club on 133rd Street in Harlem--she sang at Connie's Inn and Covan's on West 132nd Street, too. John Hammond spotted her talent (at Covan's, it seems--he was expecting to hear Monette Moore) and convinced Benny Goodman to use Billie at a session that Hammond set up. Jazz critics have written that Billie sounds very nervous here, but I don't hear it. The record is rare, which is true for virtually every disc made around this time. Billie is excellent here--one of her best performances! I confess that I much prefer Billie's upbeat material (like this!) to "Strange Fruit" and to any blues she covered. Weeks later, on December 18, Billie returned to the Columbia studio to sing a vocal refrain on "Riffin' the Scotch," which sold relatively well for a Depression-era disc. Then 17 months passed before Billie would again appear in a recording studio--on July 2, 1935, beginning with "I Wished On The Moon." "Your Mother's Son-In-Law" was featured in Lew Leslie's revue titled "Blackbirds of 1934." Jules Bledsoe is cited in the song's lyrics. He was an African-American baritone who is now forgotten except by a few historians. His heyday was around the time this record was made though he was not exactly a household name. He covered some material that Paul Robeson also covered, such as "Ol' Man River" from Show Boat. Paul Robeson is still remembered but not Bledsoe. You don't have to have a hanker To be a broker or banker. No, siree, just simply be My mother's son-in-law. Needn't even think of tryin' To be a mighty social lion Sipping tea if you'll be My mother's son-in-law. Ain't got the least desire To set the world on fire. Just wish you'd make it proper To call my old man "papa." You don't have to sing like Bledsoe. You can tell the world I said so. Can't you see you've got to be My mother's son-in-law? You don't have to sing like Bledsoe. You can tell the world I said so. Can't you see you've got to be My mother's son-in-law? Songwriters are Mann Holiner and Alberta Nichols. Here is more background information. Five days before this session, on November 22, Benny Goodman was at an Annette Hanshaw session. Benny worked with first-class singers! With Benny in a studio three days before this session with Billie Holiday was Bessie Smith--a singer who influenced Billie. Bessie Smith was at the end of her recording career, and Billie Holiday was at the beginning of hers. I view November 1933 as the end of one era, the start of a new one--a bridge here or connection was the great (and young) Benny Goodman. Benny was a mere session man during the Hanshaw and Smith sessions (on Bessie's "Gimmie A Pigfoot," Benny is hardly audible), but with Billie at this session, Benny was the leader, and his playing is hot! Here is my rule of thumb for Billie Holiday records: the earlier, the better. This is very early, and I love this recording--it never bores me unlike many of Billie's later discs. From 1935 until a recording ban on August 1, 1942, Billie sang on around 150 sides (153? 158?) that were or became Columbia property. She made Commodore recordings, beginning on April 20, 1939. She made Decca recordings, starting in October 1944. By this time Billie was more of a chanteuse or star of song or cabaret singer, less of a jazz singer. From 1952 to 1957, she sang for Norman Granz's Verve label.

Billie Holiday "It's Too Hot For Words" Brunswick 7511 (1935) Teddy Wilson Ben Webster

Duration: 2:49
Updated: 09 Sep 2014

Billie Holiday gives one of her best performances, and Teddy sizzles on the keyboard! Teddy Wilson and His Orchestra plays "It's Too Hot For Words" on Brunswick 7511, recorded on July 31, 1935. Musicians are Roy Eldridge (trumpet), Cecil Scott (clarinet), Hilton Jefferson (alto saxophone), Ben Webster (tenor saxophone), Teddy Wilson (piano), Lawrence Lucie (guitar), John Kirby (bass), Cozy Cole (drums), and Billie Holiday (vocals). That's a young Roy Eldridge. He started recording in 1935. Trombone is missing in these early Teddy Wilson sessions, and that's OK with me. The song is by Walter Samuels, Leonard Whitcup, and Teddy Powell. It's too hot for words-- Why bother with conversation? Don't let's talk or even walk, but If you want to make love, okay. It's too hot for words. There's nothing like relaxation. Can't ignore this temperature, But if you want to make love, okay! Let's find a cozy nook Beside a babbling brook. Let's find a shady tree. Let the love birds talk for you and me. 'Cause it's much too hot for words. Why bother with conversation? Goodness knows my heart disclose All it dares to say All it cares to say It's too hot for words. Here is my rule of thumb for Billie Holiday records: the earlier, the better. This is very early, and I love this recording--it never bores me unlike many of Billie's later discs. I likewise cherish what came from Billie's first session ("Your Mother's Son-In-Law") and second ("Riffin' the Scotch"--or call that her third since she returned to the studio) and the other Teddy Wilson sessions of the mid-1930s, but by the late 1930s, sessions produced less interesting material to my ears. The 1940s were uneven for Billie, and almost nothing by Billie from the 1950s holds my attention. Billie Holiday was born Eleanora Fagan (or Eleanor Holiday? Eleanora Fagan Gough? Elinore DeViese?) on April 7, 1915, in Baltimore (if we trust her autobiography--perhaps that is not wise) or Philadelphia (more likely--see her birth registration). Jazz critics complain that Billie was forced to work with trite songs in her early days. I no longer read jazz critics because of such silly pronouncements. Billie Holiday handles so-called "trite" songs in very interesting ways, and I prefer Billie's early "trite" material to her later recordings of songs by Cole Porter, Gershwin, and other song-writing giants. From 1935 until a recording ban on August 1, 1942, Billie sang on around 150 sides (153? 158?) that were or became Columbia property. Original labels include Brunswick and Vocalion. She made Commodore recordings, beginning on April 20, 1939. She made Decca recordings, starting in October 1944--by this time Billie was more of a chanteuse or star of song or cabaret singer, less of a jazz singer. This was Billie as a "serious artist" (paradoxically, she was better as an artist when she wasn't trying so hard to be a serious artist--in the early days she merely sang pop songs, and she shined). That means on Decca discs she dominated records, the background musicians staying in the background. From 1952 to 1957, she sang for Norman Granz's Verve label, but Billie's voice was a pale shadow by this time of what it had been. Some of her late work is painful to hear. Billie is best in early Teddy Wilson recordings--or at sessions with people like Teddy Wilson (after all, she worked with other great pianists). Billie is best when she is just one of the gang at a session of superstars. She gets her turn--and Lester gets a turn, or Ben Webster, or Jess Stacy, or Buck Clayton.

Updated: 09 Sep 2014

Teddy Wilson and His Orchestra with vocalist Billie Holiday "Eeny Meeny Miney Mo" on Brunswick 7554, recorded on October 28, 1935. What a brisk tempo! The only Billie Holiday recording with a faster tempo is "What A Little Moonlight Can Do." The song is by Johnny Mercer and Matt Malneck. It was featured in the film To Beat The Band. Musicians are Roy Eldridge, Benny Morton, Chu Berry, Teddy Wilson, Dave Barbour, John Kirby, Cozy Cole, and Billie Holiday. Eeny meeny miney mo-- Catch your troubles by the toe. If it hollers, let it go. Let it fly away! Eeny meeny miney mo-- It's the saying high and low. Hear it everywhere you go Any time of day. Big Ben rings it. Vallee sings it. Whiteman swings it. Even Mr. Crosby bings it. Eeny meeny miney mo-- Catch your troubles by the toe. If it hollers, let it go. Let it fly away! My rule of thumb for Billie Holiday records is the earlier, the better. This is very early, and I love this recording--it never bores me unlike many of Billie's later discs.
