- Опубліковано 11 чер 2010
- This Billie Holiday interview was recorded when Billie was working at a long engagement at the Strand Theater with Count Basie in July -August 1948.
Some of these pictures are from the Strand Theater.
ENJOY AND COMMENT!
Andra Day NAILED her speaking voice.
I agree! I wish my late parents were able to see the movie. Billie was my mom’s favorite idol including Nat King Cole.
She definitely did Billie pretty close but Andra Day voice was more raspy & deep than Billie's. But the acting was so dead on her.
@@princesssmalik1 You are right about both voices!
Yes!!!!
Indeed and her Singing
Voice ! It was.a.Great job ! ❤
Billie Holliday seemed very humble and not bothered by all the attention.
Just stopped by after watching US vs Billie Holiday. Andra Day's portrayal is spectacular, heart wrenching & soulful
I am 59 years old and have just heard Strange Fruit sang by Billie Holiday for the first time in my life....... a most hauntingly beautiful song...... yes it has meaning as all songs, music , poems etc do..... I feel so much of our history and culture has been hidden or not readily or easily accessible to us through intentional means ..... until now the Information Age .
And the Anti lynching still hasn't been finalized
Lady Day’s label refused to record “Strange Fruit.” Billy Crystal’s uncle recorded it instead. That is the reason that we can listen to this important song.
" i want to sing how Louie Armstrong played"- Billie Holiday, used her voice like an instrument. Shes amazing and was way ahead of her time.... I love her dearly& God bless her soul✌🏾️
"She had a horn-like voice & 'Prez's' (Lester Young) sax sounded like a human voice."
. . . then Miles Davis -- among so many others -- came along and played the way Lady Day sang.
Her voice matched her singing style. How rare is that. We are so fortunate. So fortunate.
My kids ask me why I like to listen to Billie Holiday? I tell them, her singing calms my soul.
Wow, yes and sooo deeply
She Was A Healer Her INSTRUMENT Stirred Souls The World Over and yet So Personally
SacredAprillee Scott Couldn't have said it any better!!
Still does!
Anyone else here because of the Billie Holiday movie on Hulu? Such an amazing voice.
Yes indeed
In a word "mezmorizing " she touches the soul. 💔💋🖤🔥🎙🎤🎼🎵🎶🎧🎛🎹
If anyone has a chance to visit St Ramonds Cemetery in the Bronx. be sure to leave a stone on Billie's "FINAL" resting place. Sleep in peace dear child, your heart will go on.
Just finished the movie. Andria Day did a phenomenal portrayal of Billie.
Didn't she though? Wow. Such a good movie.
Andra, not Andria. She did an excellent job
SHE DID!! AND IT WAS HER FIRST MOVIE!
I did not like her performance that much, it was over the top.
Yessssw
I love to hear her giggle!! I love you LADY DAY💋💋💋💋💋
It was great getting to know her a little bit more. Her voice was so delicate. What a wonderful woman.
No one could/can sing jazz in Lady Day's style....the hanging back behind the beat, the absolute soul....can make you cry.
Billie was not just a great singer, she was also very pretty, especially when she wasn't using.
Yes! She was gorgeous in her prime. I'm surprised I don't see that mentioned more in the comments.
@@LaNoire27 I thought she was considered a beauty icon
Billie was always clean like a new department store mannequin in the finest department store- truly one of the most stylish women in music history and definitely a fashion icon.
Her signature red lips and nail 💅polish
She sounds so different here compared to other brief snippets I’ve heard of her before.
For a moment ent I wasn’t sure it WAS her. The only clips I’d heard of her talking were LONG after the drugs, smoking and drinking and paying her dues in nightclubs over decades had ravaged her voice. When I heard her speak she sounded hoarse and throaty.
She sounds so soft and incredibly shy here - a little awkwardness with a very sweet nervous laugh. Her speaking voice was very beautiful, I’m glad I got to hear this.
No singer will ever touch her song interpretations or her innate sense of Rhythm.She is my favorite singer & I'm sure I'm not in the minority here. :)
of course they will...tons of singers will have and do, don't be ridiculous. your words are subjective nonsense.
I agree!
The unmusical, and those are in the majority, have no clue!
She touches my heart every time I hear her sing. ❤️
It was great to just hear her voice, the interview is wonderful.
I just watched lady sings the blues and was wondering if I could find anything on the real Billie Holiday and came across these archives of her I never heard her speak until now so thank you for allowing me to hear and see the real Lady Day💖
There's a new movie docudrama on hulu called United states vs Billie Holiday. I just watched it last night. *not for kids
The Hulu movie is way better lady sings the blues left a lot out and compared to the Hulu movie ..was a joke because why they picked Diana Ross to play her is beyond me like Diana but sorry they left out she was married three times ..
Nice lady
I think she was a kind and gentle soul. Unlike the male interviewer who borders on intimidating, being a jerk, dominating.
Jane...they say she had a mouth like a sailor, thats why the men in her life would beat her up...maybe thats not true who knows.
@Sondra Vickers Certainly not! It pisses me off, that Billie seemed to get abused from all directions. From assholes in the goverment to the men in her life. She was a national treasure, but didn't appear to be treated as such. Not when it counted, that's for sure.
@@blancamiranda4153
No reason is a reason.
Go to hell.
@@blancamiranda4153 she did but that’s not why they treated her bad it’s because she had no rights being black and a woman to protect her and because they were damaged coward men who were after money and took advantage of a good woman
I love Lady Day. She was amazing. I wish I could've seen her perform. I imitate her singing sometimes.There is no one that touches her sound. Thx !
I’ve imitated her since I was 12 when I saw the first movie. My Dad had her 78’s!
@@grlevert my dad had 78s also!
My father introduced me to Lady Day in the early 70's, & I thank God everyday that he did!
Billie holiday was a great jazz singer and so smooth I listen to her all the time and it's really relaxes and balances me rip great one
Billie Holliday sings me to sleep sometimes with her soothing voice and romantic words of love & heartache...a kindred spirit who understands your pain. I’m glad I got to hear Lady Day speak. RIP💙
Billie your awesome miss and love you
A first class trip back in time how captivating, dearly appreciated! My mom was one of her biggest fans and how ironic my mom died at the same age. Very ravishing! Thanks to whom it may concern XOXO!! 💙
So young. hugs
It is such a treat to hear Lady Day's Beautiful Sultry voice .. sure sounds much better hear in '48 then on the first interview. R.I.P Billie you are much missed and never Forgotten.
Thanks for posting as it's wonderful to hear her voice. Just can't get enough of Lady Day theses days.
She sounds so soft-spoken and nice. Would be great to have her to dinner. Bet she had some great stories.
great ans dang on sad too
Watch the new documentary on her. on hulu
Just a classy lady .what amazing singer. I loveed her songs she wrote and composed.
Ty for these interviews. It's nice to hear Billie speak & sing. I enjoyed hearing this on her born day & I will celebrate her every year. She was an inspiration to the world. We love u always & miss you
He should have let her name more of her favorites kinda sucks he cut her off on that one.
You can tell that the interviewers we're flabbergasted by Billie's presence.... of course they were....she was the Lady Day! This is why my dining room is dedicated to her.! She and I have experienced great pain in our lives!!!
Thank you for posting these short interviews of Billie Holiday...Its so wonderful to hear her natural speaking voice which resonates just like her singing voice. ❤🎶
I wanted to sing like Louie Armstrong played- wow
The interviewer on this piece was a bit of a patronizing fool...but THANKS for posting. This is still a treasure.
Yes indeed !
Yes
How interesting that she wanted to sing like Louis Armstrong played!! Now I know how she developed her sound! Thanks for a chance for me to travel to the 40's to hearMiss Lady Day be interviewed. Another thing, now I know how she got her moniker, Lady Day!
What a priceless video! Thanks for posting this! I love it!
I have been devoted all my life to what people call classical music, but Billie Holiday is one of the exceptions to my rule. Apart from her lovely phrasing she brings truth into her words, they become completely meaningful with a touch of irony her only match in classical music is Elisabeth Schumann.
loved loved loved...these vintage photo's of MS. HOLIDAY, she has been one of my favorite singers...her songs were sung...with such emotion an layed back kind of way!🎶💋sleep well princess 🌹
I love Billie Holiday aka Lady Day she was real and honest 🥰❤️🖤💚 society TRYED to beat her down but she always stood tall,she will always be a lady to me🥰❤️🖤💚
She was so cool , calm and collected a icon 🤩✨ rih Lady Day ❤

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BILLIE!
love you
Happy Solar Return Billie Holiday, we STILL LOVE YOU ❤ 😍 💖 ❣ 💕 💘!!!
great singer.
Love this! Thank you so much for sharing Lady Day!
She stated that she made the song "back in 39 or 40", referring to the years 1939 or 1940.
Excellent piece!!
What a beautiful woman with so many problems, people let us show Love 💘 to our kids.
Miss you Lady Day!❤️
What A VOICE
Hulu has the movie, “Billie Holiday vs the United States”, and all of us that are Lovers of her music, watching this is a must. It’s not a pretty story, which we already know, but it’s shown so realistically that I watched half and had to take a break! She suffered abuse all her life and was just trying to get through life with all the luggage she had to carry. Nobody called addiction a disease, nobody thought she needed counseling. They just say the gift. And the song “Strange Fruit” there was powerful men that did not like her singing it and had no problem stepping on her as if she was a bug. You will definitely feel feelings, but I’m finishing it tomorrow.
Correction: it’s called United States vs Billie Holiday
@@cymone711 Yep, realized it a little later, but thanks for giving anyone looking the correct name.
NP we Gotta stick together
Thank you, She was unique
Im here after watching US VS BILLIE HOLIDAY.
TAKES ME BACK...
Love her she's a real human being. A very strong woman who has a lot of pain emotionally pain as in (hurt) within miss Billy Holidays Heart ❤️.
Love you Billie.❤ I sent you roses you will have them on the 17th.
Wow! Hearing her speak for the first time !❤❤❤
Andra Day was amazing! This made me want to more about Billie Holiday, which lead me to find these videos! I'll be looking at them all!
AHHH.. YES!!! FREEDOM OF SPEACH... EVERY ONE IS ENTITLED TO HIS OR HER OWN "OPINIONS".. PERHAPS IF SHE WERE NOT CAUGHT UP IN THAT DRUG THING: SHE MIGHT HAVE LIVED LONG ENOUGH TO:EXCELL!!! I STILL VALUE THE CONTRIBUTIONS SHE MADE TO MUSIC.. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!😍😁😍😁😍🤤😲
The photo of her with the while cowl neck dress (at 1:29mins) is from my dad's show "Stars of Jazz" on KABC 1958
@mightybruno; She credits Lester Young, Bessie Smith, Louis Armstrong, and Jo Stafford
Got to love her!
I really love the song solitude
What amazingly strong woman.
Amazing. Thanks.
Happy born day Lady Day Billie Holiday. Your beautiful voice is missed. God rest your soul. 4-7-20.
Thanks for this invaluable material!!!
when I first heard Southern Tree, i was mesmerized by that song she wrote. I love this queen who had such a tragic life. thank God I have her music to listen too.
Strange fruit
Thanks, a lot of thanks!
I'm so glad the United States vs Billie Holiday was made. Personally, I always knew there was more to Billie Holiday it's in her voice when she sings. This interview made me love her more. She was full of humility and confidence and poise. Proof that your circumstances don't define you and should never define you.😇🥰
From Spain...she was the BEST 🤩😍🎷🎶🌠🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
No one ever speaks about the ending of her songs and how they blend, bind, and rhyme.
ANNIE!!!!!! MY BEAUTIFUL ANGEL!!!! WE FREE LOVE!!!!! THANK YALL SO MUCH FOR HOLDING ME DOWN!!!!!!!
that DOG !! Love Billie ❤🌹
thank you so much for sharing the voice of this incredible woman
The system Billie lived under was and maybe is so cruel. Sad life. She could sing and escape in her songs and her dreams, but the punks wouldn't even let her do that. She's a martyr to all downtrodden people. The inhumane treatment she was exposed to doesn't disappear and get forgotten. It is logged and comes out somewhere else, like an energy flow. It's unstoppable. Her sad life was not in vain. Everyone and everything has a purpose.
Thank-you for posting this Dear One*
Her idols were Louie Armstrong and Bessie Smith
Strange fruit brought me here
She sounded so different in this interview
Love You "Lady Day" ‼ 🌷
Grande, una gran estrella con una vida trágica. Descanse en paz, yo la escucho desde los veinte años y es inigualable
Me emocionó mucho al escucharla no soy de su época pero la melancolía que trasmite me hace llorar.
Thank you for this this made my day🥰😍
Beautiful....i miss her still
Awesome! Thx
Love it! Oh how I love it!!!❤👍👍
Cool
thank you
thanks part 2
Amazin'
She sounds so good here. In other interviews, like in part one, I can HEAR that she's using. She must've attempted sobriety after jail. I so wish she would've stuck with it. Bless her soul.
'Lady of Song.'
Love this 💖
I Use To Listen To Her Album Called ( Billie Holiday ) The Golden Years. She Was A Pretty Fox. On And Her Album Covers. R.I.P. Mrs. Billie Holiday.
@TwigDigsNigs; "Hello My Darling" by Billie Holiday. It was recorded in 1938
Thank You!!!!
You told me it was coming right away 'i mean the 3rd part. but really its been too long and I guess you understand (ink spot amazing song) Im a huge billie's fan and that 3rd part is like a hole in my heart cause you put too much out there those 2 parts and I wanna listen the end shes so awesome. But no arms to you without you this would have never been in my mind but i mean its just you put it in my mouth and the guess the end of lady day. The BEST SINGER EVER.
