It’s tough to find music about bad things that can make you feel strangely good. Billie Holiday was the master of that paradox.
She changed the way songs were sung by injecting real emotion into her performances. Ms. Holiday came about at a time when American Music… Jazz, blues, and pop, all merged into a perfect rolling canvas of horns and strings with notes punctuated on piano. And Billie Holiday had the perfect voice for it all.
