--------------------------
La musica e’ una delle vie per le quali l’anima ritorna al cielo
Music is one of the ways for which the soul returns to heaven
Musik ist eine der Arten, auf die die Seele in den Himmel zurückkehrt
La musique est l'un des moyens par lesquels l'âme retourne au ciel
La música es una de las formas en que el alma regresa al cielo
A música é uma das formas pelas quais a alma retorna ao céu
الموسيقى هي إحدى الطرق التي تعود بها الروح إلى السماء
音乐是灵魂回归天堂的方式之一
音楽は、魂が天国に帰る道の一つです
Музыка - один из способов возвращения души к небу
(T.Tasso)

I love hearing Billie sing very dark songs. She's just been through so much that I feel like it fits her so well, and she's really good at getting you drawn into it. Her voice is just so... Irresistible. I would do anything, or give anything to have been able to see her sing live.

[tartanrocker]

...no-one sounded like her ...not before, during or after her too short life...her phrasing, just behind the down beat, is sooo distinctive....love her....

lyrics:
Summertime and the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high
Oh, your daddy's rich and your ma is good lookin'
So hush little baby, don't you cry

One of these mornings, you're goin' to rise up singin'
Then you spread your wings and you'll take the sky
But 'til that mornin', there's nothin' can harm you
With daddy and mammy standin' by

One of these mornings, you're goin' to rise up singin'
Then you spread your wings and you'll take to the sky
But 'til that mornin', there's nothin' can harm you
With daddy and mammy's hand in mine

My great grandma was born the same year has this singer of this song and she's still alive at age 101!

love the instruments in the back very 40s. takes you back during a life that is so different from today.

[christianvandalstrom]

The only artist ever who has not recorded a bad song. Every track is amazing. That is that.

[muzzicman]

The swingin clarinet and the trumpet puts the jazz in this rendition. Billie's voice seems to meld these two together like velvet. wow...

[randykern]

Her voice is what comes into your mind when you think of vinyl records. They were made for each other

[hoohargh]

The miracles of youtube archives we take for granted ❤❤❤

When one learns about Billie' s childhood/upbringing her songs really resonate. And it's scary how "Strange Fruit" is as relevant today (2020) as it was on first release, over 65 years ago.

[hieronymuslarsson]

It's like a melancholy, loving prayer. The blues tone laments the evil in the world while the lyrics, despite or because of the darkness, is full of faith in everything good and beautiful.

[lambforever]

Old music is amazing. Billie Holiday is an important icon in the music industry. A true queen!

[clairejones]

Listening to this on a hot sticky night, thunder and lightening outside, this is class

[sarahburggraf]

Best version of this song in my opinion. She keeps it simple bc she can. Her voice is beautiful so she doesnt hv 2 try n over do it.

[dhagen]

One of my favorite artists of all time! Makes me feels like I'm in a different world when I'm listening to her voice. Incredible!

[HinekuraFasipa]

My lullaby to myself when my father died and my mother was in the nuthouse. Beautiful song as usual by Billie🌹

[shonnabosch]

I love these first ladies of Jazz!!! I get goosebumps listening to their cuts.

[imspecial]

She's an extraordinary woman, who has an exceptional voice. She was a pioneer and LEGEND in her era. To this day. she is still listen too. She's one classy lady.

[redchthonic]

The greatest song ever for me. Must have been covered by virtually everyone.

[gypsymoth]

Billie's version of Summertime always creates memories for me of growing up in the South
