They called her Lady Day. Lady Sings the Blues. Far be it for a old white dude to say this so forgive my boldness. As young African Americans you should hear a song that was the opening of the Civil Rights Movement. Billie sang the FIRST protest song. STRANGE FRUIT. It was made in the 30s about lynching black men. The song started everything. Please whether you do it as a reaction or not. For your growth as young men listen to what Billie gave you. Forgive my presumption. I'm a Grampa acting old dude. God Bless Lady Day.

Billie Holiday and Robert Johnson always sounded to me like they were already singing from the grave. Otherworldly, mystical, unearthly.

Another vote for Strange Fruit. Haunting. And sadly relevant to what's going on today with Black Lives Matter.

Check out Erykah Badu "Apple Tree"--she owes a huge debt to Billie Holiday (has a similar vocal style), but Erykah updates her with a hip hop and R&B sensibility (if someone as timeless as Billie Holiday could ever truly be updated).

I'm pretty sure Billie Holiday was popular in the 1930s and 1940s

Stormy Weather, It Had To Be You, I Don't Wanna Cry Anymore, That Ole Devil Called Love are my favourites. I have about 60 of her songs in my playlist and I never get tired of listening to her 💕

Just subscribed. Love seeing reactions. There are still singers like that. I don't think there are any videos but Mary Stahl is an amazing singer. She does jazz, lullabies and bossa Nova. Perfect pitch.

To continue your rock education, and a nomination for #WomenOnWednesdays, one of the best female empowerment feminist songs EVER "Bad Reputation" by Joan Jett, a undisputed rock goddess.

To BE a black woman back then and still create such beauty in such an ugly inhospitable environment is profound, unseemly and a testament to the human Spirit.
