Billie Holiday is a crucial figure in the world of music. Her remarkable voice and captivating songs serve as a powerful reminder that the second chapter of American society can not only coexist with the first, but also heal it. Holiday's impact is more than just a comeback; it's a transformative force. While her interpretation of the haunting "Strange Fruit" showcases her profound emotional depth, it is in her songs about the struggles of love and everyday living that she truly allows us to see into her own tragic life.
