Billie Holiday - The Best Of Classics Masters - Fantastic Vocal Jazz Music of Our History

[@abw48]

Billie unknowingly helped me deal with Cold Turkey in Brooklyn as I sat beside the Hi Fi and listened to her sing knowing she knew what I was going through as I cried... I was a 34 year old guy at that time way back in the early 1980s... Still clean and sober in 2022... Still love to hear Lady Day sing it like it should be sung... An Angel that was destroyed by more than Smack.

Putting ads in the middle of a song is deplorable. Doing it to a Billie Holiday song is sacrilege.

[@CarlynGoergen]

Despicable

[@screamingfox5666]

I second this thought completely! I am basically allergic to commercials, it is like a disease! One time I was listening to some songs on KZbin while driving to work, and then a commercial rudely interrupted the song, and I was driving and it startled me and I was madly trying to end or negate the ad... It was horrible, a driver honked at me because I was driving to slow! Now I only play downloaded songs or use some ad-blocked yt apps when I'm driving... And it is SO insulting, if you think a little about it... Man, I was driving enjoying some music, and then the music is interrupted by some commercial... Whatever brand is interrupting the song, I wont buy anything from it... EVER...

[@thomassnider6691]

@@screamingfox5666 I second that! For me the all-time worst was when I was listening to Prokofiev's 7th Symphony, and 30 seconds away from the enchanting finish an ad pops up. How crass!

I first got introduced to Billie Holiday when I was at school by my old English teacher and I’ve listened to her music now for nearly 40 years. There’s something timeless about her music and voice. The true sign of a real superstar and in my opinion singers these days could take a lesson from her and the other jazz greats.

Everyday I play a musician on their birthday in my classroom while my students work, they're in 3rd grade. This morning I was torn between two birthdays, and Billie is one of them. This comment helped me decide to play her in hopes that one day one of my kiddos will take her along with them as you did. Thank you and Happy Birthday, Billie!

[@stephenm.klevas3637]

few tigers could get inside a song and make it seem like she was giving you a glimpse into her soul, you know that what she sang she lived and it shows in her expressions of joy, pain , anxiety, frustration and weariness. in other words, she was the real thing and now she's free, living on in the gift she left behind for us, her songs.
