Hello once again friends. I know it's been awhile (again). I am currently in my senior year of college and now live in San Francisco. 2018 also marks ten years that I've had this channel and have been making video for you guys which is a huge milestone. I know I've been inconsistent with posting videos over the past few years due to school but it really is my mission to start making this channel active again and restarting the Facebook group and more.

With that being said, here is my first video for you guys for the year. It is Billie Holiday appearing on the NBC comedy-variety show Club Oasis with host actress/singer Martha Raye. The year in which this performance took place has been debated to be etiher in May of 1956 or 1958. I personally believe that it is May of 1958 because of Holiday's voice and Ray Ellis' arrangement of "You've Changed" being used as well (maybe Billie was on the show to promote her upcoming album "Lady in Satin"?). Either way, Billie sounds wonderful and the audience and Martha Raye seem to agree once she is finished with her set.

Stay tuned for more videos coming soon! There will be a lot more content coming your way!

I love Billies voice in her later years. It has so much depth, expression and styling.

Dear BHE: Thanks for your archeology of nobility: these rare recordings are a such thrill for so many of us who love Lady.

She is singing so lovely. The band is playing with the same arrangements of the album "Lady in Satin". Probably it's a presentation supported by the recording company. It doesn't seem possible to me that Billie could afford a accompaniment by a string quartet and a brass group at that later period of her careers. Thank you for posting this gem. I wish that is more like that.

Louis was gone by now
Her health was not good
But at least she was not
Being beat on he was terrible
