My favorite singer ~ Billie Holiday "Strange Fruit"

I adore this woman. She sings my soul & rends my spirit. Her gift for conveying emotion, for expressing the depths of the despair, showing you the sludge that can be scraped from the nether regions of the human experience, is uncanny. Billie Holiday is a treasure. And she didnt just moan about love lost and a broken heart. 

One of her most important performances ever...
