“If I am going to sing like someone else, then I don’t need to
sing at all.” ~ Billie Holiday

Billie Holiday was one of the most influential jazz vocalist
of all time. My first introduction to the work of Billie Holiday was with the
movie starring Dianna Ross, “Lady Sings
The Blues”. However, the movie was just that, an introduction. When you
begin to study an artist you truly get a feel for the brilliance of the person
and gift they shared. Despite personal
tragedy and many adversities we celebrate the legacy of Billie Holiday 100
years later.
Join the celebration visit the Official Billie Holiday website.
