This was a song sung during WWII. That is why it is sad.

@monkface 12 дней назад

It's hard to really quite understand what everyone went through in those years. They all had it in common. We've had it so good since then.

@Hexon66 11 дней назад

It's sad because of how it's arranged, and Billie Holiday's hauntingly beautiful voice. It'd be like that at any time.

@randyallbee1173 8 дней назад

Hands down my favorite female jazz vocalist, Billie’s voice was a mirror to her soul…I sure hope you guys have the pleasure of exploring her music more in years to come. Some of my favorite songs Billie recorded also express her joyous side, beginning with her first recording, ‘What a Little Moonlight Can Do. “ just magical. Thank you

This song was released during WWII. It's about all the people at home missing those who were overseas.

@jackiecarson859 12 дней назад

@jaycorby 12 дней назад

I was about to make the same exact comment. This song was a real tearjerker almost 80 years past. Many Americans were off fighting in Europe and the Pacific between 1941 and 1945, some never came back. Those at home who had men and boys in combat would have to turn the radio off when this song was played.

@lawreence13 11 дней назад

Was just going to comment the same thing, Its a wonderfully bitter sad song that as you rightfully say caught the hearts of those millions affected by WWII

@gotham61 13 дней назад

Billie Holiday had a very hard life. She was addicted to heroin for most of her singing career, and spent time in prison for drug offenses. She died at just 44 years old. As Amber says, the pain of her life is easy to hear in her voice, and there are a lot of parallels to Amy Winehouse. As others have suggested, please check out Strange Fruit, a very difficult but uniquely powerful song about lynchings in the South.

@frankiebowie6174 12 дней назад

The thought of a national - worldwide - treasure like Billie Holiday dying in the hospital and under arrest is heartbreaking. Hardly anyone listens to the bright and optimistic songs from early in her career, which is a shame. To know them makes Strange Fruit even more meaningful.

She had an entire racist culture against her. Please watch the United States vs Billie Holiday movie. They included a lot of true documentation of law enforcement that took advantage of her drug and alcohol vulnerabilities to incarcerate her and prevent her from spreading her “messaging”.

Billie Holiday was truely someone special. She lived a hard life with a sad and pitiful ending leaving us way too soon. Although gone she shall never be forgotten. Holiday touched so many hearts down through the years with her music. Way ahead of her time, for sure. If you guys havn't yet you gotta check out "Strange Fruit". Glad we still have her recordings.

One of my all-time favorite singers. "Lady Sings the Blues" was okay, but took a lot of liberties. "Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar and Grill" is much more accurate and a better portrayal of Billie Holiday and her life.

Sometimes I (as a 70 year old woman) forget how brutally hard the WWI and WWII years were, not only for the men and women who had to fight the wars, but for those that they loved that were left behind to raise the children, keep families fed and dealt with the uncertainty of if or when their loved oneS would ever come back. Entire families torn apart. Similar were Bing Crosby's I'll be home for Christmas and White Christmas.

@user-dg6mb9di7e 11 дней назад

@arthurburkhart3710 13 дней назад

Kathie says…This was a VERY VERY popular song during World War II. The sadness of the soldier…the sadness of his sweetheart…OVERWHELMING, homesick sadness. In Japan, “Tokyo Rose” played this kind of music on her radio program to depress our military men. In Germany “Lord Haw Haw” would play this song and others similar, to deflate the spirits of our military men as well. What a sad time . Billie Holiday sang this song to PERFECTION. Many who listened to it back then went to sleep on tear stained pillows. My dad, a D Day, Battle of the Bulge and The Invasion of North Africa veteran, told me this.

@raymondohlsen5054 12 дней назад

Tokyo Rose was a victim of circumstance; her dialogue was written by Aussie P.O.W.s. Lord Haw Haw and Axis Sally were traitors.

@raymondohlsen5054 13 дней назад

Long story. I'd heard of Billie Holiday many times before I ever actually listened to her. I bought a cassette of her music in a tiny jazz store in Oceanside, Ca. when I was a young Marine. (1983). I put the tape into my Walkman...and hated her voice. I didn't understand why she was so important. I kept listening, knowing that I was missing a BIG piece of the puzzle. Then it occurred to me...Ms Holiday had the most authentic voice I'd ever heard. She was so very different to what I was used to listening to. Her talent was so LARGE, so very perfect that I was stunned. Billie Holiday is one of the few singers that can actually make me tear up from such JOY that I am allowed to listen to her sing. I feel it is an honor, a privilege, a blessing, to hear her voice. Thank you for reacting to this song. Song suggestions: Don't Explain, Gloomy Sunday, Stormy Weather, God Bless the Child, What a Little Moonlight Can Do, and (of course) Strange Fruit. The last being one of the most important songs ever recorded by an American (IMHO). She didn't write that song, nor was she the first to record it, but her version IS the most iconic. Blessings to all who read my whole comment!

Awesome. I discovered her around the same time except I was a teenager in high school and NOBODY I went to school with had heard of her and they thought I was the strangest for loving this stuff. But it moved me to tears upon hearing her the first time. I found a cassette tape of her greatest hits at a garage sale. But I could hear her experiences, pain and triumphs in her voice. Nothing contrived. Thanks for sharing that

The depth of emotion, the love expressed in WWII songs still stuns me. So many lives rended... I heard today America lost 15,000 pilots in training accidents, just learning how to fly. The life expectancy of bomber pilots was measured in weeks, and yet my dad survived. You have no idea how lucky I am to even be here.

@gkiferonhs 13 дней назад

If you are not familiar with it, you need to listen to Billie's "Strange Fruit" a deep, poignant, enraging song. If not on the channel, it's a song you and your kids need to know.

@in8hope617 13 дней назад

"Strange Fruit" was such a brave song to sing..because it called out the truth about what was happening. It is a song that everyone should hear, when they are old enough to really understand what she is talking about. People need to know, period.

@simply_psi 13 дней назад

Always makes me cry, in some ways we have come a long way thanks to artists calling it out like Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, Vera Hall, Rosetta Tharpe, Sam Cooke, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder and Curtis Mayfield, but equally depressing is we still have such a long way to go for true equality and opportunity for all.

@sassymess7111 13 дней назад

I was about to suggest this! It's not a "pleasant" song but y'all need to hear it at least once.

@sclarkehamlin 13 дней назад

Yes, everybody does need to hear Lady Day sing "Strange Fruit." Interesting side fact - Abe Meeropol, who wrote "Strange Fruit," and his wife adopted the two very young sons of Ethel and Julius Rosenberg after the Rosenbergs were executed in the electric chair as atomic spies. Relatives were afraid to take the boys during the Red Scare of the 1950s when even knowing someone or being related to someone could turn into an accusation with deadly outcomes. The Meeropols saved the boys from an orphanage.

@simply_psi 12 дней назад

@sclarkehamlin some great insights there, and it's always heartwarming to hear what good humans can do when we try.

In 1984 I was living in Washington DC, and woke up from a very real dream of visiting my grandmother. In the dream we had lunch, talked and laughed. She put THIS song on the record player. Shortly after I awoke I got a call from my mother letting me know my grandmother had passed away overnight.

On Ella Fitzgerald's 75th birthday, the Village Voice jazz critic wrote that the only people who prefer Billie Holiday to Ella are those who believe misery is a more legitimate emotion than joy. I agree with rhat, while also believing that nobody can touch some of Ms Holiday's performances. I'm especially fond of her recordings on the Verve label, when her voice is totally shot and she's higher than a kite but, like a pitcher who's lost his fastball, she finds a way to get strike outs. There's a great nobility in figuring out how to navigate your decline.

@JD_Cool 10 дней назад

@ohfour-seven6228 13 дней назад

The song was composed by Sammy Fain and the lyrics by Irving Kahal. It was first published in 1938. Fain and Kahal worked together on many songs from 1926 to 1942. I'll be seeing you became popular in 1943 during the war. The Billie Holliday version of this song was the final transmission sent by NASA to the Opportunity rover on Mars when its mission ended in February 2019.

One of the great songs of all time. Written and scored for a Broadway show, it didn't make it to the opening. But many musicians who heard it loved it, and it has been recorded on and off since 1940 by many famous artists. The version by Jo Stafford for the British public and troops is considered a true gem. She recorded it in 1944, the same year as Lady Day.

Billie was most popular in the 30's and 40's and the world was at war so such sadness and that what you're feeling from her.

This is one of the most heartbreaking songs ever - it ALWAYS gives me the chilly feels!

Billie was one of the best singers ever!! Listen to her sing Strange Fruit for extreme poignancy, & The Very Thought Of You for a more lighthearted mood. I also highly recommend for you & your movie channel, Lady Sings The Blues. Great film about Billie's life, superbly portrayed by Diana Ross. You will be awed & amazed by all that Billie went through, and I promise, you will LOVE the movie!! And the soundtrack!!!

My favorite female voice in music. She had a gift few will ever be blessed with and thankfully it was shared with the world

I heard a Billie Holiday song the other day and thought, why don’t I listen to her more. Thank you, thank you for whoever suggested this and Amber for picking her.

Amber gets it... it's a set of sad lyrics over a soft dreamy melody, and Billie's bluesey-jazz approach to singing just emphasizes that melancholy tone. That woman could sing a phone book and it would make me feel sad... and I mean that as the highest of compliments.

She was a very interesting singer. Very authentic. Of course, this is the quintessential, yearning, WWII song. I love the way she sings so much on her own beat.

Billy Holiday was my first love, musically because she was my mother's favorite.

"What a Little Moonlight Can Do" is another great song from Billie Holiday, especially if you want to hear how she does with faster, more uptempo arrangements. Her voice suits any kind of music, solemn or lively!
