Now you can get a choice between jail and rehab if you live in a progressive state or city. Back then Billie was black and addicted and very talented. She was born to a single mom, and women were lower class. No money or family to help them, ment they were poor. Street walking poor. Billie and her mom had few choices besides prostitution, domestic work, or restaurant service. Billie was lucky that she could sing, but found herself in drugstore central. I love her voice. We are lucky she left behind records. Billie is one of our best jazz artists.🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌻🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

soul sessions tv Bdhrh Lena Horne was from a prominent, well-connected family. Butterfly McQueen was well-educated, and the home of her youth was uncharacteristically more peaceable with its Black residents, giving her a greater resilience. Billie Holiday was born illegitimate to a very young, rather stupid girl, who stayed stupid well into her adult life. So, there were some variables.
@trudesoto78074 жыл бұрын
@soul sessions tv Bdhrh - Well Lena Horne was very, very light skinned and born into rare upper middle Class family. Her father once said "Why should Lena play a maid when I can get a maid FOR her." Billy was just regular light skinned and born poor. Butterfly McQueen never married and never had kids (sadly, limiting male control....no matter what race the man.....helped keep Black women stay safe and mentally well) and she was an atheist. I'm not, but black women of that generation were not really helped by that unwavering Faith in God. McQueen did what she needed to to be happy without worrying about God, rules, what a church would think, or giving up and thinking it's all God's will. *But McQueen didn't have a glorious life. She died painfully of 3rd degree burns and in the 1970s was abused by police! THE 70's. She OVERCAME. Im not sure that's the same as having a happy life.* But I get what you mean. McQueen was no tragedy.
