I wish I could, but her voice and sound comes across as so sad to me. Now Sarah Vaughan and Ella Fitzgerald are Supreme to me! But nobody can grip me the way Billie did, when she sang about lynching in the South! That song rips your heart out, for the folks who had one!
@@marjorjorietillman856 Her voice IS sad, that's why they call it "Blues". Nothing artificial or gimmicky about her voice or phrasing. That's why I love her, she is REAL and all that comes through in her voice. Now I love Ella and Sarah not to mention Carmen McRae, Anita O'Day, Peggy Lee and so many others but Billie Holiday is totally in league of her own. There is no one even remotely like her because she was the embodiment of her music, not just a performer of music.
@@Alpha-Andromeda What? your comment makes no sense. Are you saying that if someone commits a crime the FBI will only arrest them if they don't "love their voice"? I just love her music and the influence she had on blues in general. I don't have time for personal BS. It's none of my business, nor is it yours.
She is the maria callas of the Jazz.. those two big artists are unique, unreachbele for the others..in this profession.. both, each one on their own side, are of the highest peak of art. With no one to compare...Robert kreis, entertainer in Germany.
Wonderful. Recorded the year before I was born. I've since learned that there was a second jazz club right across the street from the location pictured at about 1:30. You could choose between MIles Davis or Errol Garner across the street. I was born too young for that surplus of greatness.
I'll second that, Judy and Billie very different singers, but they both sang with a level of emotion. every word from the heart, no other singers come close.You might want to listen to Judy singing 'Ol Man River' or 'Alone Together' both on youtube.
Un video picture da ascoltare. Billie Holiday at George Wein's Storyville (1953). Magnifico colore di voce, swing marcato, a volte Holiday deliziosamente impertinente, irrequieta. Qui è Lady, una delle più Lady di sempre; canta, swinga, mockeries a profusione e manierismi sfrontati fin quasi all'autoimitazione. Lady gioca alla grande quella sera anche se l'accompagnamento non è granché stimolante e non la porta alla magnifica sfida cui la portò Oscar Peterson nel magnifico album Recital, Clef Series.. Lady dopo un rendez vous e prima di un altro: abissali appuntamenti con le sue splendenti luci buie e con le profonde ombre delle sue luminose oscurità. Tuttavia pelle a pelle con il pubblico. Chi non vorrebbe essere stato là quella sera? Lady è Lady. Solamente 38 anni a quel tempo. La sua voce non lo dice. Lady nel cuore❤ Wonderf pic never seen be4 ❤ A video to listen to. magnificent live voice color and swinging great, at times a little bit deliciously naughty. She was Lady, one of her very Ladies that night. Singing, swinging, laughing, enjoying mockeries, mannerisms to almost self-imitation. Lady plays Lady, maybe too much and maybe 'cause the accompaniment doesn't take her to carry high the torch the way Oscar Peterson did in the magnificent challenging album Recital, Clef Series. Here, we have Lady after a rendez vous and before another one; abysmal dates with her shining lights and deep bright darkness shadows. However skin to skin with the audience However skin to skin with the audience . Who wouldn’t want to be there that night? Lady’s Lady. Only 38 years old then. Her voice doesn't say that. My heart belongs to Lady ❤
Aughhh....I love her singing so much. This live set is magnificent. What a night! What singing! What swinging! I was spellbound with this performance. I'd love to find this on CD or vinyl. Thanks for sharing!
La seta Billy fue una Reyna del jazz a pesar de tener muchas injusticias en su país fue la mejor atraves delo tiempos se escucha en todo el mundo soy Jorge de Perú de Mateo salado cercado de lima
Muy emocionante escuchar el sonido impecable de su voz y de sus músicos en pleno 2024 en vivo desde un local nocturno. No hay un dia en que yo no quiera escuchar a Bilie Holiday. Descansa en Paz al fin, querida Billie!💜🎙🙏💜🙏Gracias por compartir este tesoro!🙏
This is Just wonderful .. Thank you so much . hopefully Taylor swift and swiftly ding dongs will watch this and realize what GREAT music sounds like and how it is performed .. This is Beautiful music
Is it true what i think -- at 12:25 -- Lady's getting some old tulips out of the audience, but she can't remember the name of Amsterdam ? 'What's that town in Europe -- Where they put them in a vase ---' A man's voice answers, which i can't understand . . .
Canale già bloccato in quanto ripetitivo e invasivo, ma che continua a ripresentarsi, peraltro sempre col medesima video. Ovviamente, prescindendo dai miei interessi personali, non seguirò niente, dato quanto è infestante.
