Billie Holiday,
AKA Lady Day,
Saintly Sinner Singer from Philadelphia, USA;
A Jazz Diva whose sultry style—impassioned passions to sing, to pray,
That has stirred the world’s soul in rapture for decade after decade;
Determined to share her Inner Voice resounding—heart to heart—come what may.
O Lady Sing the Blues! With your men of dreams, Night & Day:
Benny Goodman, Count Basie, Louis Armstrong, Cab Calloway,
Duke Ellington, Lester Young, Nat King Cole, even more remarkable when with you are they.
Eleanora Fagan, who made every song her song … found her truths to say;
What she was feeling inside of her, deep down, all the inner hurts stored away;
All the racism, the rapes, the rip-offs, drug addictions of dismay,
Made her Strange Fruit, her music, … about the power to endure anything any way;
So that the real you, the real beauty could reveal some happiness somehow someday
Ever Alive with The Spirit of Living for Today: Billie Holiday.
