Billie Holiday - I'm a Fool to Want You (Official Audio)

[@tonycevallos7513]

One of the worst pains in this life is to love someone with all your being and yet realize they don't feel the same about you. You would be willing give up everything for them yet it means nothing to them.

[@danielappel1368]

You said it, Tony. At 60 years of age, I thought I was beyond all that. No such luck.

[@LilianaHernandez-qb9yu]

Gosh, wish I have someone like that. That's truely love.

[@bobmacovsky7812]

Terrible experience, yes

[@carloscolon1916]

Muy cierto

[@shadowdeslaar]

Ze are inferior. You must love yourself before you can love someone else. Understanding what makes you lovable to yourself is what matters. Others should love you for what they love you for. NOT what you want them to love you for. Cause you love yourself for whatever it is. Love is a Choice and choose game. It can be replayed daily. Cause after all nighttime and rest means a mental reset. A new day. A new start. Of course…… actions define yourself more then words….. let that be at it is.

[@mauriziofontana1827]

Lady Day was a slave prostitute at 12. The pain lasted till 44, then she found her peace. This song was recorded when she was 43 and dying. The producer considered these sessions as bad, then he heard the final mixes and caught the pain and dignity and beauty of Lady Day. This is her last record while still alive. Rest in peace, Lady.

[@thomasmelchiorre4860]

she was a true LADY!

[@ДмитрийГоловкин-н3к]

[@zersockpuppet]

She was never a prostitute, let alone at 12. She ran errands at a brothel and did a myriad of difficult odd jobs including scrubbing floors and working the grill at her mothers restaurant.

I'm a fool to want you I'm a fool to want you To want a love that can't be true A love that's there for others too I'm a fool to hold you Such a fool to hold you To seek a kiss not mine alone To share a kiss the Devil has known Time and time again I said I'd leave you Time and time again I went away But then would come the time when I would need you And once again these words I'll have to say I'm a fool to want you Pity me, I need you I know it's wrong, it must be wrong But right or wrong I can't get along Without you I can't get along Without you

Quelle mélancolie sublime mais s’est madame Holiday.

[@joannesephine6953]

Other worldly. I listened incessantly to all Billie's albums in the early '70's, they are safely tucked away now. This is the first time I heard her again since then. For some moments, there are no words.

[@garycompton1319]

Life, loss, lost loves, booze all contributed to the nature and charm of her voice. Even at the last she was able to convey her life with that haunting voice. She was brilliant!

[@Anasuea]

Such a fool to hold you, to seek a kiss.... This song is a gift to the senses

[@fredjohansson119]

Oj vilken känsla, älskar Billie ❤

[@waseijin-x5g]

A splendid performance that only Billy, who has experienced everything in life, could sing. Billy lived in discrimination and died in discrimination. we have to accept that reality. Billy is a vocalist who transcends the boundaries of jazz. This album is Billie's masterpiece.

[@Musicienne-DAB1995]

Agreed. She went through indignity after indignity due to racial discrimination, despite being popular and well-paid. I strongly suspect the reason she was left unattended in hospital for hours had to do with her being African-American. Some of her pain was due to her own poor decisions: relationships with abusive men (is this song autobiographical) and wasting her money and, eventually, her life, on heroin. Then there was the sexual abuse in childhood and the lack of a solid family structure with its accompanying poverty. Very sad.

[@akira1509able]

[@elizabethbarbosa2352]

Like listening to Billie and not being moved by her interpretations, with each interpretation she would seek within herself all the feeling that someone can put in a song, and her recordings are beautiful. I wish I had the honor of seeing you sing, I LOVE YOU Billie, forever, for me the greatest singer I have ever known. A kiss, Billie.

[@hoffag1]

[@tuxguys]

The opening cut from "Lady In Satin," the next-to-last LP she made, and the last one released during her lifetime. Her Instrument is almost gone, but her taste and the musicianship are torridly intact. The gorgeous orchestration is by Ray Ellis; the vulnerable lyrics were co-written by... Frank Sinatra. (Trombone work by the great Urbie Green.)

[@jamelyn1512]

Enchanting!

Her difficulties in her life had definitely taken its toll on her voice on this album. But nonetheless I love it.

[@davidtouma4878]

One of the greatest jazz singers of all time. When I listen to this song, not only she can make me feel her pain but also live her pain. 16 years old Angelina Jordan was influenced by Billie Holiday at a very young age. At the age of 7 she auditioned for Norway Got Talent singing “Gloomy Sunday” kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmTKhJulbt6Zbpo and followed that with an A cappella version of “I’m A Fool to Want You”. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bH2slISCasx_pbs She proceeded to win at the big prize at the finals. At the age of 11 she recorded “I’m A Fool to Want You” for her Album “It’s Magic” kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXjbYZegjbmLh80 If any one comes close to personifying the soul of Lady Day, it is Angelina Jordan.

Bro the people criticizing this album are literally only used to America's Got Talent singers. Like you don't need a perfect voice to interpret music well.

America’s Got Talent really sucks though and have given exactly ZERO great or “perfect” voices. 9/10 of the voices they showcase have vocal damage to boot.

@@LaDivinaLover How 'bout an a cappella version of this song by a 7-year-old on 'Norway's Got Talent'? kzbin.info/www/bejne/gonOn3-QedSFjLM (Regardless of what you think about this particular performance - personally, I think it's _astonishingly_ good - I urge you to check out some of her other stuff that's available here on YT.
