Billie Holiday

Billie Holiday, born Eleanora Fagan  ( Philadelphia , April 7 1915 - New York City , July 17 1959 ), is widely regarded as one of the most important and influential American jazz singer. She was, except as Billie Holiday, also known by the nickname Lady Day which tenor saxophonist Lester Young had given her. Holiday, in turn, was responsible for Youngs nickname Pres or Prez (short for President).

[Biography edit ]
Billie Holiday was the daughter of guitarist Clarence Holiday (Baltimore, July 23, 1898 - Dallas, March 1, 1937) and Sadie Fagan (Baltimore, August 16, 1895 - New York, October 6, 1945). Her father was 16 and her mother 19 [2] when Billie Holiday was born Eleanora Fagan. The stage name Billie borrowed the singer Billie Dove, an actress she admired.

Childhood Holiday is somewhat shrouded in mystery and sometimes looks more like a legend. It starts at birth. Many sources indicate 1915 as year of birth, some sources mention the year 1912. Also, the moment they began singing is not universally accepted.

According to her biography, she was discovered in 1933, when a dance audition failed, and she was asked to sing instead, but actually it seems likely that they sang in 1930 or 1931 in New York jazz clubs.

What is certain is that in 1933 she was first publicized by a column in the magazine Melody Maker, written by producer John Hammond . This brought her into contact with Benny Goodman, providing her with her ​​own orchestra gave a record debut with the song Your Mother's Son in Law(written by Alberta Nichols and Mann Holiner).

The following year made ​​furore Holiday in New York jazz clubs, which resulted in an appearance at the famous Apollo Theater . Later she played with Lester Young , Count Basie and Artie Shaw . She broke the racial segregation by playing along with white musicians.

Holiday worked for Columbia at the end of the 1930s when she met a song Strange Fruit was called, and was about the lynching of a black man. It was written from the Bronx cominghighschool -lecturer, writer , poet and songwriter Abel Meeropol who wrote the song in 1937 under the pseudonym " Lewis Allen . " Meeropol was a Communist of Russian Jewish descent deeply shocked by and strongly opposed the racial delusion in America.

Can be used in the course of her life began increasing Holiday drink and drugs. In 1947, she was even arrested for breach of the prohibition on drugs, then she spent a year in a center for addicts. Although she received no new license to perform in New York, Holiday went on to give concerts. Ten days after her release, she sang in a crowded concert in Carnegie Hall . Her permanent addiction to heroin or groped her voice, but not her sensibility and technique. In the end this addiction took her life in 1959.

Style [ edit ]

Holiday became known that she had a then unprecedented style. She sang not in the usual saccharine, neat way and thus had a major influence on singers after her. Holiday traveled frequently touches on the beat, so that the songs they sang were a more swinging and dramatic character. The use of unexpected tones are characteristic of hair style, as well as the play at the end of a song.

Because of the difficult life that had Holiday, sounding the lyrics they sing very convincing. There is a clearly audible difference between songs she recorded at the beginning of her career and those of later date. As she grew older, her voice gradually rougher and doorleefder.

[Autobiography edit ]
Three years before her death she wrote, helped by journalist William Dufty, her autobiography Lady Sings the Blues (also the title of one of her biggest hits). The story is controversial because they are already using would have lifted the facts. The book tells certainly a poignant story about drug use, imposed by the government drug treatment and relationships with men with whom they almost invariably exploited and abused. Lady Sings the Blues was filmed in 1972 with Diana Ross as Billie Holiday.
