Billie Holiday: The Tragic Life Of A Jazz Legend
Billie Holiday Life Story (1915 - 1959) Billie Holiday Songs
Billie Holiday is widely regarded as the greatest jazz singer of all time, and had a huge impact on singers in popular music in general, and jazz in particular. Holiday’s career was at its height from the mid-1930s to the late 1950s. Despite her peak lasting just over two decades, she changed the face of American music.Holiday’s achievements were not only based on her vocal style, but also her extraordinary life story, which was heavily touched by racism, drug addiction, and many other personal struggles. One of the things that made her great was how she channeled her suffering into deeply moving and memorable vocal performances. Yet Holiday was not a victim. She was tough, and has been described as the “wild woman of jazz.”

Holiday was a pioneer who changed music in a time before her and a time after her, and her impact continues. In the decades since her death in 1959, at the age of 44, Holiday won a total of five Grammy Awards, including a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, in 1987. In 2000, Holiday was inducted in the Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame by Diana Ross in the Early Influences category. And in 2011, Holiday was inducted into the National Women’s Hall of Fame.

Billie Holiday was born as Elinore Fagan on April 7, 1915, in Philadelphia, to an unmarried teenage couple, Sarah ‘Sadie’ Fagan and Clarence Halliday. The latter was a jazz rhythm guitarist and banjo player, and largely absent in her life. Her mother worked on passenger railroads, and often left the young Eleanore in the care of her sister’s mother-in-law.

Both Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald had troubled childhoods, with poverty and domestic abuse. But where Ella Fitzgerald got the happy ending, Billie got the tragic one. A mirror image of one another basically. RIP to both queens 👑❤

bennygoodmanisgod

Love her so much. So sad that her success didn't remedy her harsh lifetime. She is the Queen.

happytoday

Beautiful woman with a beautiful voice. RIP Queen of jazz🪦🙏

germanbg

A real legend. She is divine❤ uncomparable❤

Billie Holiday did not like to be compared to other artists, she was against copy-cats, she had a very strong personality & known for an attitude, being “unladylike”. She truly broke the bounds for women in music talking about abuse, infidelity, addiction & many other obstacles she faced in her life time.

A flower to the heaven for one of the jazz leyends

A TRUE STAR IN HER MAKING. THE AMBASSADOR AND REPRESENTATIVE OF BLACK SUFFERING IN AMERICA, ESPECIALLY IN THE SOUTH. HER MUSIC UNDERSCORES THE ONGOING STRUGGLE BLACK AMERICA FACES EVEN IN TODAYS SOCEITY.

Legendary Billie Holiday, a beautiful talented woman. Great pictures ❤🕊

vernam.

One of the things I guess I can say about her and Janice Joplin is I relate to them and Amy Win̈eĥouse.

NannetteLadow

I dressed as her for my junior formal ❤ in college

KashbaAli

And also Ella Fitzgerald (of Americans)

FuturePast

Love her so much. I was born in the wrong era.

Lilyofthefield

My home girl, love her and her music. It’s to bad that they bumped her off for spilling the beans on the evilness of the industry, back then even.
