she absolutely did ,she was sent to us from Heaven ...

I’m closer to Billie than the woman I’m with now. 7/17/23 is the 64th anniversary of her death. I write something 2x a year about Billie.

Ze heet Billie....

She was Amazing a Gift from God .....Timeless .....I dont think of the tragedy I remember the Incredible feeling that comes over me when I hear her voice ......

@@chrisgjohnson134 Billie Holiday has a whole pace of her own that is unlike any other before or since you have to alter your own pace to get into her zone I just love that about listening to her sing I can never listen to The Lady and do something else also I have to stop and listen and merely LISTEN there is only ONE Billie Holiday and she is unlike any other ...I LOVE that The Lady can describe my own torment so perfectly and yet none would wish the life she had upon herself nor any other, but it helps to know that I aren't the only person to have ever felt that way and I FEEEEEEEL Billie Holiday and there is a kinship of the heart that I don't feel with ANY other singer not to that extent anyhow...Janice Joplin is another that I feel like I could have been friends with ...which makes me sad as she didn't feel she had any and nor do I. Maybe I would have felt understood and definately could understand ...both did GARGANTUAN Bodies of work that am still only hitting the tip of the ice berg on the subject of and I have been listening to Billie for YEARS ...sometimes I just get a Billie Holiday state of mind , when I should be doing something else and I hear one of her songs and I just STOP sit down and listen because it doesn't matter how many years since she died she makes sense to ME, and I Love to hear the Lady tell her story and my own along with it ...some people are just BORN to be immortal ! God Bless Billie X No matter what, I could never live without music or words or self expression in some FORM ...I may not fit into this TIME , but as long as I can reach out into the World and find others that FEEL the way I do and write how I myself can feel or sing words that make sense to me I can FEEL PART OF THE WORLD AND FEEL LOVED AND CARED FOR as I may not be understood RIGHT NOW in THIS Now but as long I know somebody , somewhere at somepoint has felt the way I do then I know am part of the all and everything am HUMAN , just my heart is having a way too heavy time of it ! There again...to LISTEN AND HEAR AND FEEEEEL something that I perhaps have NEVER felt or maybe never will either negative or positive is a privilege in itself to be allowed a window into somebody else's SOUL and Billie Holiday does that so perfectly and unashamedly by telling you EXACTLY HOW SHE FEEEEEELS with no embarrassment nor ego nor shame just openly and blatantly lays out pure honest unadulterated emotion with a - this is how I feel sometimes - signature that could only ever heartbreakingly be Billie Holiday X I don't care WHAT YEAR , ERA OR EVEN CENTURY IT IS , what colour skin anybody has or what pigeonholed presumed race , class position nor background .. Billie Holiday was ALL WOMAN with a Heart the size of an entire universe and had MADE NO BONES AT ALL about letting everything inside her out for all to view and hear and I just LOVE THAT ...there are WHOLE EPISODES OF MY EXISTENCE that I simply could not have survived without her, Our Lass X

Wow... I feel so much truth in your words... So much feelings... Feelings I feel, listening to the lady up there. Like I'm in that bar, taking a sip of my whisky, hoping no one will disturb me from my melancholy. I just want to feel life, and in the same way, not being alive at least, for the rest of them... Those who don't feel the music as I am, as you are. In a way that reminded us some long lost life... An other life, an other time, where we were different but oddly, morbidly, the same... Hoping that outside the bar, it's raining. It could explain the clouds in my views... Ho, I wish it could explain the copper taste in my mouth as I sip my whisky... Maybe i'm going mad... Maybe the world is upside down, already... And here I am, smiling in rythm with Billie and thinking about a stranger whom I could have read their thoughts... Beautiful song, beautiful planet...

She was a Diva at one point of her life. She wasn’t shy about her body - she would sit in the dressing room with no clothes on. Her body and skin were beautiful she had no marks on her body at all. Men would come in and their mouths would drop. She was beautiful. I always see her beautiful even if it’s close to the end of her life. I’m too close to her life and death. Her life and death will haunt me the rest of my life.

I'm glad they lied about my dad. He told me later what happened. Growing up as a kid it was better to believe the lie.

you put your finger right on the thing that,s that makes billie great

Is it that important here ?

I look up and tell her I love her every night.

Frank was scarred after her death. He locked himself in his penthouse apartment for 3 days and he listened to her records.
