 | Billie Holiday - Lover Man Billie Holiday (1915-1959) is considered one of the greatest jazz voices of all time. She had a very difficult life which greatly affected her music. Jack Kerouac pictured this song in his book "on the road" as followings: "...I huddled in the cold, rainy wind and watched everything across the sad vineyards of October in the valley. My mind was filled with that great song... It's not the words so much as the great harmonic tune and the way Billie sings it, like a woman stroking her man's hair in soft lamp-light. The winds howled. I got cold..."Lover Man (Billie Holiday)I don't know why but I'm feeling so sadI long to try something I never hadNever had no kissin'Oh, what I've been missin'Lover man, oh, where can you be?The night is cold and I'm so aloneI'd give my soul just to call you my ownGot a moon above meBut no one to love meLover man, oh, where can you be?I've heard it saidThat the thrill of romanceCan be like a heavenly dreamI go to bed with a prayerThat you'll make love to meStrange as it seemsSomeday we'll meetAnd you'll dry all my tearsThen whisper sweetLittle things in my earHugging and a-kissingOh, what I've been missingLover man, oh, where can you be? |

 | Billie Holiday - Fine and Mellow (1957) Reunited after many years with tenor saxophonist Lester Young, Billie's visual reaction to his moving solo remains as eloquent as anything she ever sang; a touching finale to their historic musical partnership. Introduced by Robert Herridge (producer/host of CBS' "The Sound of Jazz"), this is perhaps the single most famous "live jazz" performance in TV history. Other members of the all-star band seen here: Coleman Hawkins, Ben Webster, Gerry Mulligan, Roy Eldridge, Doc Cheatham, Vic Dickenson, Danny Barker, Milt Hinton, Mal Waldron..."We shall not see their likes again." |
 | Billie Holiday - You Go To My Head Billie Holiday - You Go To My HeadYou go to my headYou go to my head,And you linger like a haunting refrainAnd I find you spinning round in my brainLike the bubbles in a glass of champagne.You go to my headLike a sip of sparkling burgundy brewAnd I find the very mention of youLike the kicker in a julep or two.The thrill of the thoughtThat you might give a thoughtTo my plea casts a spell over meStill I say to myself: get a hold of yourselfCan't you see that it can never be?You go to my headWith smile that makes my temperature riseLike a summer with a thousand JulysYou intoxicate my soul with your eyesTho I'm certain that this heart of mineHasn't a ghost of a chance in this crazy romance,You go to my head. |
 | Billie Holiday 1959 'Please Dont Talk About Me' In this clip made from a TV show dated February 1959 Billie looked and sounded in great shape and this is how I like to remember her. Sadly, she died 5 months later. Unlike the song title 'We Do Talk About Her Now She Is Gone'. She was 44years old. The pianist is Mall Waldron with the Peter Knight Orchestra. |
