When I saw this week's theme, I immediately thought of these two songs by the one and only Lady Day! The real one! I grew up on Billie Holiday as my parents often played her old 78 recordings. I loved her music, even though it always sounded so sad and haunting. Now, that I'm an adult, I know why - which gives just that much more to her lyrics and her voice. To the one who "changed the art of American pop vocals forever", I present to you the Lady, Miss Billie Holiday!
