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 - All of me . . . All of me Why not take all of me Can't you see I'm no good without you Take my lips I want to lose them Take my arms I'll never use them Your goodbye left me with eyes that cry How can I go on dear, without you You took the part that once was my heart So why not take all of me

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.

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 Billie Holiday interview was recorded when Billie was working at a long engagement at the Strand Theater with Count Basie in July -August 1948. Some of these pictures are from the Strand Theater. ENJOY AND COMMENT!
This interview is taken from the Art Ford TV Show on September 10, 1949. Billie talks about making a Bessie Smith album (it was never made, they were only released as singles), also her encounter with Bessie Smith in the early 1930's, and also sings "All of Me"
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.
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...
Etta James is interviewed for a Women In Jazz TV special in the 1980's. She discusses her influences, including Billie Holiday.
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!
This rare interview was recorded while Billie was touring in Europe in 1954. The person that interviews Lady is Olle Helander.
Billie Holiday, Rezső Seress, "Hungarian Suicide Song" acoustic Version
A sad love songs of Billie holiday to her loving partner CAUTION A song can hurt you, break your heart, but what if I told you that a song can kill you. I am talking about the song “Gloomy Sunday” which was composed by the Hungarian pianist Rezső Seress in 1933. This song is also known as the “Hungarian Suicide Song“. There have been many urban legends associated with this song. A woman killed herself while listening to this song, a shopkeeper committed suicide and quoted the words of the song on his suicide note.

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
