BILLIE HOLIDAY

Billie Holiday was an American jazz musician and singer-songwriter with a career spanning nearly thirty years.  Her vocal style, strongly inspired by jazz instrumentalists,   Throughout the 1930s and 1940s, Holiday had success with labels such as Columbia Records and Decca Records.  Holiday’s bad health, coupled with a string of abusive relationships and ongoing drug and alcohol abuse, caused her voice to deteriorate. Her final recordings were met with mixed reaction to her damaged voice. In 1986 a play (Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar and Grill)  recounting some of the events in Billie Holiday’s life was launched in Atlanta, Georgia, USA
