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 may refer to:
A holiday is a day set aside by custom or by law on which normal activities, especially business or work, are suspended or reduced. Generally, holidays are intended to allow individuals to celebrate or commemorate an event or tradition of cultural or religious significance. Holidays may be designated by governments, religious institutions, or other groups or organizations. The degree to which normal activities are reduced by a holiday may depend on local laws, customs, the type of job being held or even personal choices.
The concept of holidays has most often originated in connection with religious observances. The intention of a holiday was typically to allow individuals to tend to religious duties associated with important dates on the calendar. In most modern societies, however, holidays serve as much of a recreational function as any other weekend days or activities.
In many societies there are important distinctions between holidays designated by governments and holidays designated by religious institutions. For example, in many predominantly Christian nations, government-designed holidays may center on Christian holidays, though non-Christians may instead observe religious holidays associated with their faith. In some cases, a holiday may only be nominally observed. For example, many Jews in the Americas and Europe treat the relatively minor Jewish holiday of Hanukkah as a "working holiday", changing very little of their daily routines for this day.
Best or The Best may refer to:
A greatest hits album, sometimes called a "best of" album or a catalog album, is a compilation of songs by a particular artist or band. Most often the track list contains previously released recordings with a high degree of notability. However, to increase the appeal, especially to people who already own the original release, it is common to include remixes and/or alternate takes of popular songs; even new material (previously unreleased). At times a greatest hits compilation is the original release for songs that have themselves been released as a single and charted successfully.
Madonna's The Immaculate Collection is the best selling greatest hits compilation by a solo artist; all of the songs on it are presented in different versions than the original hit versions. The Eagles' Their Greatest Hits (1971–1975) is the best selling greatest hits compilation by a group and also one of the ten best selling albums in history. Greatest hits albums are typically produced after an artist has had enough successful songs to fill out an album release. Some artists, such as Mariah Carey, Madonna, Janet Jackson, Britney Spears, Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, The Beatles, Kenny Rogers, Aerosmith, Kiss, U2, Dolly Parton, Journey, Los Tigres del Norte, Queen, Kylie Minogue and Billy Joel, have released multiple greatest hits albums through their long careers. Some greatest hits albums are released only at the end of the artist or group's career. For example, My Chemical Romance released a greatest hits album after they disbanded. Other artists, like Eminem have released hits albums in the center of their success. He released Curtain Call: The Hits in 2005 and then Shady XV as a compilation album in 2014.

Sem dúvida, uma apresentação memorável da melhor cantora de jazz que o mundo já conheceu, infelizmente essa foi a última aparição em público, de Billie, cuja a saúde já estava debilitada. Porém bastam alguns segundos para reconhecermos a interpretação e voz inigualáveis novamente. A Lady da voz amarga, postura elegante e jeito sutil, faz interpretações inigualáveis cantando tudo a seu jeito e a seu ritmo, tornando qualquer mera canção em um acontecimento sublime. Apresentação no programa Chelsea at nine, no dia 23 de Fevereiro de 1959, em Londres.

Billie Holiday was a jazz diva who became the stereotypical victim - unlucky in life, unlucky in love and dead from drink and drugs at the age of only 44. Reputations re-examines Billie Holiday's life and career. Was life hard on Billie, or was she always a tragedy waiting to happen? Holiday was born in Baltimore in 1915, the illegitimate daughter of a 16-year-old jazz musician and an 18-year-old cleaner. She was raped by a neighbour at the age of 11, and began work as a prostitute in Harlem at the age of 14. However, she was already listening to jazz -- Louis Armstrong records on a wind-up Victrola -- and started to think about a career which would take her out of the brothel where she worked. She began singing in Harlem's night spots and was soon noticed as something different. She cut h...

These are collections of rare interviews of Billie Holiday. Source: Billie on Billie (name of DVD) Interviewers are unknown at the time. Husband Louis McKay also speaks in this interview
This is a very rare Billie Holiday interview that hasn't been heard since it was given (presumably in the summer of 1956). In it, Holiday promotes her newest album for Clef (later Verve) Records titled "Velvet Mood" as well as her best selling autobiography "Lady Sings the Blues." The reason for the interview not airing was because the radio station feared that listeners would think that Holiday was drunk during the interview because of her slurred speech.
November 8, 1956 was a very busy day for Billie Holiday. She was making the rounds on television and radio to promote her book and upcoming November 10th concert at Carnegie Hall, which would become a huge success. She appeared on Mike Wallace's Night Beat television program on ABC, Steve Allen's Tonight Show on NBC, and in this video, on Tex McCleary's Peacock Alley on NBC. Like with a lot of Holiday's television broadcasts in the 1950s, footage has been lost but audio has survived. This is a rarely heard interview in which Holiday talks about her upcoming concert, recites "Don't Explain," "Fine and Mellow" and "Yesterdays" in spoken word format and even talks about Elvis Presley. Enjoy!
Lady Day The Many Faces of Billie Holiday invites viewers to see the many faces of this dark lady of the sonnets, as one poet called her, and to appreciate her undying art more deeply. Most presentations feature Lady Day as the sad victim of hard times and drugs. The single fact of her life that matters above all others is that she was a great artist who, with Louis Armstrong, invented modern jazz singing. Mining a treasure-trove of completely new information, the producers set the record straight and beautifully. In a voice that is Billie-like in its rasping wiseness and its ring, stage and screen star, Ruby Dee, reads from Holidays autobiography, Lady Sings the Blues. With Carmen McRae, Annie Ross, Buck Clayton, Harry Sweets Edison, Mal Waldron, Milt Gabler, Albert Murray and others. M...

One of the most important and impressive vocalists that has entered the scene this decade is Cecile McLorin Salvant. At 24, Miss. Salvant has risen the bar on the new material she's performing from music of the early 1900's to the 1930's. It's her sass and understanding of the great vocalists like Bessie Smith and Billie Holiday that has given her the stature of attention from music fans and critics from all over the world. Cecile's debut Mack Avenue Records release "WomanChild" is destined to reconnect music fans with music from jazz and cultural icons ranging from Fats Waller, comedian Bart Williams to bandleader Valaida Snow. The Miami, Florida native was the 2010 winner of the prestigious Thelonious Monk Vocal Competition and since then she's performed endlessly where her debut CD, "W...
Pianist and composer Monty Alexander is having one of the best year’s of his musical career. For 50 years Monty has backed and graced the stage for many of the worlds most important musical icons of our generation. But his unique playing style and his deep Jamaican roots has steeped him in the annals of not only jazz, but his country’s native roots music. To really understand Monty’s legacy, one must experience his latest musical amalgamation called the Harlem-Kingston Express. Over the last week he played to pack houses at the famed Birdland Jazz Club in New York City to rave reviews and dance-happy music fans. The Harlem-Kingston Express is the pianist’s foray into his musical youth while growing up in Kingston, Jamaica. While in Kingston, he witnessed and experienced the birth of Ska a...
ELIXHER got the chance to sit down with queer Brooklyn playwright, Ione Lloyd, for our first-ever video interview! Her new play "Little Louise" (at N.Y.C's Kraine theater on Jan. 19, 20, 21 and 25 at 8 p.m.) is about the Madame of a whore house who has tea with her inner child, while listening to the brand new Billie Holiday record.
The lack of the next of generation of vocalists don’t have a respect for the masters nor want to bring a new and fresh voice to the music. The reason songs written by the greats like Bob Dylan, Burt Bacharach, Smokey Robinson, Carole King, and Elton John will live forever is that the words are as poetic read than sung. I was surprised at the debut of vocalist Rebecca Sullivan’s live performance along with guitarist Mike Allemama in New York recently. The York, Pennsylvania native has made a name for herself in Chicago playing at the famed New Apartment Lounge where the late NEA Jazz Master Von Freeman used to host and play his weekly residency. It was in Chicago where she also studied jazz music at the Bloom School of Jazz where she dedicated herself to singing the music and where she ho...
For two weeks in late winter of this year at the Blue Note Jazz Club, pianist and bandleader Monty Alexander celebrated 50 years as an entertainer. He invited dear friends from his native Jamaica to the jazz world to help bring in this monumental occasion. Monty isn’t just a well accomplished jazz pianist but he’s also one of the most respected and well sought reggae musicians in his native Jamaica. Recording and performing with many reggae artists like Ernest Ranglin, Sly and Robbie, and Beres Hammond. He’s just come off his first Grammy-nominated Motema Records release “Harlem-Kingston Express Live!” for best Reggae Album. The Harlem-Kingston Express is the pianist’s foray into his musical youth while growing up in Kingston, Jamaica. While in Kingston, he witnessed and experienced th...
Jazz vocalist LaVerne Butler is back with her first CD in almost 10 years. “Love Lost and Found” is her debut on the HighNote Records imprint and she and features the legendary Houston Person on saxophone and long-time accompanist Bruce Barth on piano. Although LaVerne has been away from her American fans for over a decade, she’s been performing overseas and has developed a following that has kept her active and on the scene. The Shreveport, Louisiana native was influenced by her father, Scott Butler, a former musician and high school teacher, to pursue music. LaVerne’s real love for soul music steeped into her life as a child, but it was the jazz vocalists like Carmen McCrae and Billie Holiday that get her interested in the music.
