singer Billie Holiday (1915 - 1959)
Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald, goddesses of Jazz
“I saw the whole world in that face. All of the beauty and all of the misery.” From the documentary Billie (2020).
Born on this day: regal, soulful and ravaged jazz diva Billie Holiday (née Eleanora Fagan, 7 April 1915 – 17 July 1959). Lady Day’s bruised but defiant (and sexy as hell) spirit lives every time you listen to her music. My favourite songs of hers will always be “Good Morning Heartache”, “I’m a Fool to Want You”, “Don’t Explain” and “You’ve Changed.” Pictured: portrait of Holiday by Carl Van Vechten, 1949.
November 1958.
