I love that while Ms Wright sticks to her own unique style she somehow manages to capture the essence of pathos that Billie Holiday channelled in her own rendition of the song. Simply Haunting.

For a white man to have written such a dark & beautiful meaningful song back then; and these extraordinary women to tell the sad, afflicted pain behind it, simply blows me away.

What's really interesting is that much of Black Arts involved instances of collaboration between blacks and whites. The artwork that we most associate with the Harlem Renaissance--artwork that appeared in Alain Locke's important anthology 'The New Negro'--was created by a white man of German origins. Carl Van Vechten.

@@swicheroo1 yes, those names do ring a bell. The history books aren't teaching what really happened. Folks have to educate themselves & their children.
