There's a whole book in just that one phrase of her: "He beats me too." I had the very great honor of sitting with her between sets just months before she died. Rest in peace, Lovely Billie.
@@ungradphysmath7438 Hi. I'm not DHL1930 anymore. But back to Billie. I was a fifteen-year-old musician at the time, and went with two friends to see her at this little hole in the wall club in Newark named Sugar Hill. Anyway, one of my pals, a good-looking black guy, requested a song (I forget which), and Billie answered in that raspy voice of hers, "Man, that only sold one record." To which my pal answered, "Then I'm the guy who bought it." Anyway, that got a laugh out of her. She'd taken a liking to my friend, and so she'd sit with us between sets. But she was very high, strung out, and needed to be helped onto the stage by her piano player, Mal Waldron. Still, as always, she sang beautifully. While she was with us, she didn't speak much, mostly just sat, and with what seemed to me a deep sadness in her eyes. Remember, this was a time when she was being hunted out by the powers that be. That's why she was even there singing in that tiny club in the first place. They'd taken away her Cabaret license and wasn't allowed to perform in NY anymore. Anyway, those were the circumstances under which I met this loveliest of ladies, Lady Day. And I'll never forget her.
Wow that had to be a wonderful pleasure! 💯🥰 My grandmother met her also outside of the Cotton Club. They couldn't go in because it was segregated. Billie truly Sang from the heart. 😍
The best description of her voice is haunting. It makes you want to cry like she is pleading for a love that doesn't hurt. Her troubles came through her tone.
The transparent pyramid is a deal breaker for me. There is ‘a man that is not worthy but you love him anyway’ and then there’s ‘so he’s committed all the worst crimes known to mankind in possessing that third eye in his head and inhabiting vicariously the vessels of others’. Also there’s a love triangle which might be a problem and then there’s millions of people are in that triangle and I’m cutting my losses. I miss when these songs meant something and human beings were free and not utterly vicious, ruthless and invasive..
People may say she didn’t have a great voice, or it wasn’t as strong as Sarah Vaughn, or as sophisticated as Ella Fitzgerald. But Billie was Raw, and full of Emotions. She has so much pain and Sadness you can hear it her voice. She had the power to touch you with the emotions. That’s way she’s so great, and that’s why she’s my Favourite. She was the first jazz singer I fell in love with. And every time I hear a song, with that voice, I’m that’s Lady Day. My favourite Album is Lady in Satin. She was getting sick, and lost a lot of her voice. But if you hear the album. She still could move you.
She wasn’t ‘polished’ ... She was raw but REAL (there is a difference) well done 🎙Lady Day. (Today’s ‘noise’ is just that ... and cheap imitations of🤷🏽♀️ ‘sumthin’ 🧠 weird but Not MUSIC. Having heard Three different versions of this song today, I’d have to rate Billie #1 and BOSS Diana Ross a very close #2. I guess that leaves Barbara Streisand.... last 🤷🏽♀️
+Godiva Amour - Not just the pain of her lyrics - it's the pain in her voice/delivery. This is one of my all time favorites of Billie - gives me chills. She was one in a million.!!
@@Billy219 the version of Aileen is HORRIBLE jajajajajja boring and repetitive, many women of that time had the same voice. Billie had and has a unique voice
Billy Murray gan has made similar comments about Judy Garland on other videos ex. "She burn in hell now". But check out his favourite videos, esp. his 3rd favourite. Very revealing.
Her voice and the lyrics, I think, capture the idea of tragic, imperfect love so well that its eerie. Billie Holiday seems like one of those people that comes around only once per fifty years and for years after her, everyone tries their best to be just like her. But no one ever can. The Tragedy of the Mediocre
I may be young, just 16, but I have always loved Billie Holiday. I have not been through everything she had but I've had a very hard life. I've had way too many homes and way too many parents. I can feel her pain and I can sing it, too. I hope one day I'll get to share it like did.
You’re now probably 26 and I hope you’re happy, at peace, finally settled too and the world can hear your talent and gifts. I too had many parents and many homes - I’ve learnt that home is where all our attempts to escape, cease x
Look into her eyes...and the story say's it all. This woman really lived this song. Rest in much peace Miss Billie. You were a beautiful soul when you were here on earth and you most certainly are in heaven above!
Hearing her makes you sit up, stop what you're doing, look at her with your undivided attention and listen to the story she's singing to you ... in her special way charged with so much pain and sorrow. She is a truly riveting singer.
One thing people forget about Billie Holiday, is not just the unbelievably inequality of her voice, but goodness gracious she could she enunciate a phrase. She made it look so easy this idea that it was almost lazy and yet her enunciation of every word everything she did was off the charts. Who here doesn't know every lyric she sang, and in that unique way but it was fucking crystal clear
I grew up listening to the only and only Billie Holiday, her voice is timeless, it moves me just like it did when i first heard her, many moons ago in good old east London. I adore her
You can almost hear the tears in her voice. She is still one of the best song interpreters of all time. She could teach these so-called Divas of today a few things.
Her voice describes the angst and pain of her dysfunctional relationships and dependency on vice. She was a true performer, and her voice aged like a fine merlot. She will always be a brilliant chaunteuse.
When she sings, it's like all the air has been sucked out of the room and all you can hear is that voice. As though you are teetering on the edge, truly unsafe and yet so exhilarating. Wow.
Billie Holiday touches me so much that every time I hear his voice is like the first time. Billie is a phenomenon that will never be forgotten. Billie was and is the main voice of the soul of us all.
When I listen to this song, I feel myself choke up. Though I've never been in her situation, I've seen it happen plenty of times. This song speaks for the women that love their significant other, even if he's mistreated her, and the optimism towards the end is what breaks me. Because that's exactly how these things go down. The woman suffers but then tricks herself in to thinking it's okay (maybe she thinks she can change his ways) and sticks around because she is still hopeful and still loves him. Such a sad song. Billie sings from the heart.
Billie makes you feel every note with her delivery, tone, timbre, and the lyrics. All of that talent and pain wrapped in a bow, and it can't be delivered by anyone other than Billie.
This song is for my ex. I loved you. You loved me. Our demons played well together but they were still demons and at times they hurt us beyond our control. RIP, My love, your demons were darker than mine. God is loving me while he has you with him.
"My Man" It cost me a lot But there's one thing that I've got It's my man It's my man Cold or wet Tired, you bet All of this I'll soon forget With my man He's not much on looks He's no hero out of books But I love him Yes, I love him Two or three girls Has he That he likes as well as me But I love him I don't know why I should He isn't true He beats me, too What can I do? Oh, my man, I love him so He'll never know All my life is just a spare But I don't care When he takes me in his arms The world is bright All right What's the difference if I say I'll go away When I know I'll come back On my knees someday For whatever my man is I'm his forevermore
This song speaks for the batterec women even today that can't leave there man, even after the cheating and the beating. What a timeless song. I love Billie and she executes this song with some much feeling and soul. "MY IDOL"
This tune is perfect. It has the making of a great love song but with the disjointed consonant and dissonant harmonies you can hear the internal conflict of the words in the music itself. She sings with a restrained sense of happiness within despair. And the last word she sings sounds almost like crying. I am so happy you posted this and i found it. Thanks!
THIS IS WHAT WE CALL , IN BRASIL :"sing with the uterus" WHICH IS EVEN DEEPER THAN JUST THE HEART....THAT´S WHAT WE MEAN! AND THIS ADMIRABLE LADY AND EXTRAORDINARY INTERPRETER- NOT JUST A SINGER- DOES TO HER SONGS... SHE TALKS US INTO THE POETRY, THE FEELINGS, THE EMOTIONS... SHE MOVES ME. I LOVE HER.
CELSO BATISTA I love her so much this was my repertoire for many years , sadly those days are over but her essence will always live on ,bless you yep I love her so
@@iansyme3087 It is good to know that there are Ear Nose and Throat specialists helping out people on youtube. I especially enjoy the requirement that one agrees with your opinion. I'm going to build a time machine so I can go back in time. I'm going to sign up with the Reich so they can tell me what to think and do and like and dislike. I'm bringing you with me.
I heard her voice for the first time in a TV ad in Brazil. Fell in love at once. Spent some time trying to find out who that was. "Billie Holiday", told me a record store clerk months later. That's when I got my first record by Lady Day. Still get goosebumps when listening to her.
I love the raw emotion and i love watching her eyes for that, she gives a little but not too much, classy Lady Day. Timeless nobody can compare to her shes my favorite jazz singer bc shes unique.
I'm glad that you enjoyed it I've actually watched it over and over and perhaps the other guy said that she wasn't the best jazz singer but she was at her time
Love,tears,hurt, when she sing u know her hart has been broken many many times ladys love is wonderful thing, but make 🎶🎼🎶 from a 💔 ! This is why she will allways be the👑👑👑👑👑 love u Billy🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
I hope this year brings happiness and prosperity and love💕 to all american and to the worldwide🌍. I'm Dwayne Henderson by name. and if I may ask where are you from?
She is actually telling us her story. It's in her eyes. & vocalized thru her voice. Soreal. Wished i could have met her . She died in july of 1959. I clearly remember my mom announcing her death in our home wen i ws just 8 yrs old. Although at that time I thought Billie was a male.until i read her autibiography.What a woman of dstinction, despite wht others might say, she ws the true & brutely honest Billie Holiday, with a voice & a msg.
Wow, I can only imagine how the people in the audience felt during this performance and then after the perfomance was over, they went home feelin blessed to actually witness such greatness of expression. She was great.
This is one of the most beautiful cover versions ever made. It was originally a French song that was translated into English. Sung by Billie Holiday, the lyrics take on another dimension. It is both pathetic and incredibly beautiful.
i've been a musician, singer ,song writer for 30 years and this is the first time i ever doubted my craft and/or my calling....she's simply "touch by God".
This is my favorite song by Billie. She has different interpretations of it and it's hard to choose which I like best; they're all such liquid gold. The less accompaniment the better; putting an orchestra behind her voice is like gilding the lilly.
Miss Billie wrapped her heart around a song, and she took your heart along for the ride. Another one of my favorites. It speaks to the deepest feelings and says a world of things about love and loss. Miss Billie, no one ever spoke to the soul like you. There was tenderness in the despair, love when none was there, and just that little bit of hope we all need to survive. Thanks again, sweet lady, for all the gifts you gave!
God Almighty himself has to be smiling when he hears this, knowing he made this incredible singer to entertain us all with songs like this one. Her interpretation of this is truly a work of art!
It cost me a lot But there's one thing that I've got It's my man It's my man Cold or wet Tired, you bet All of this I'll soon forget With my man He's not much on looks He's no hero out of books But I love him Yes, I love him Two or three girls Has he That he likes as well as me But I love him I don't know why I should He isn't true He beats me, too What can I do?

Billie's autobiography reads almost like a work of fiction, her life was so extraordinary and whirlwind, and by the end you are rooting for her self destructive self even though you're in the knowledge that she died a few years after publication. You can hear each ounce suffering dripping from her voice, people don't sing with soul like this anymore, and they'll never come close to matching Billie.
@MrCFCarePOO Amen, amen and AMEN!!! I've been listening to and loving Miss Billie's music for more years than I care to mention. That love is as strong today as when I heard the very first song by Lady Day. What cruel people forget when they down her for drugs is that each of us has our own demons to deal with every day. People do the best they can to find a little dignity in their lives. Miss Billie found music. It's a pleasure to see comments from people like you who understand that.
this is one of my all time favorite songs ever and Billie sings it the best of everyone/ this is her song / her story for she was singing about her life and the kind of love she was used to her in her life. thats why she is anle to sing this song with such conviction and believability / Billie is the greatest Torch singer that ever lived. Mo one had a voice like hers and her raw emotion was poured into every golden note she sang / and you felt her pain with every word that she sung.
No one can deny the movie of her life truly intoducted her music to the younger generation. Yes, it did have it share of flaws, but now her music will live on as it very well should.
There's a whole book in just that one phrase of her: "He beats me too." I had the very great honor of sitting with her between sets just months before she died. Rest in peace, Lovely Billie.
This is a french song (Mon Homme: lyrics Albert Willemetz/ Jacques Charles, music Maurice Yvain) and these lines are in the original french song

Billie was beautiful, inside and out. She sang straight from her gorgeous soul. She will always be one of the greatist artists for all generations.

It's my man
It's my man
Cold or wet
Tired, you bet
All of this I'll soon forget
With my man
He's not much on looks
He's no hero out of books
But I love him
Yes, I love him
Two or three girls
Has he
That he likes as well as me
But I love him
I don't know why I should
He isn't true
He beats me, too
What can I do?
Oh, my man, I love him so
He'll never know
All my life is just a spare
But I don't care
When he takes me in his arms
The world is bright
All right
What's the difference if I say
I'll go away
When I know I'll come back
On my knees someday
For whatever my man is
I'm his forevermore
The emotion conveyed in her voice is incredible.

Billie remains one of America's best singer. There is such emotion the way she sings.
The talent she had is indisputable. No one can compete with the emotion and subtlety she put in a song
She makes me feel a lot of emotions.
I love the raw emotion and i love watching her eyes for that, she gives a little but not too much, classy Lady Day. Timeless nobody can compare to her shes my favorite jazz singer bc shes unique.
Lady Day was not the greatest Jazz singer--she IS the single Greatest singer of any genre-any style---humbles me to hear her...........

I'm glad that you enjoyed it I've actually watched it over and over and perhaps the other guy said that she wasn't the best jazz singer but she was at her time

Wow, I can only imagine how the people in the audience felt during this performance and then after the perfomance was over, they went home feelin blessed to actually witness such greatness of expression. She was great.
I just love her. Her voice is so amazing. I could listen to her all day
you can feel everything she sings, just close your eyes and listen to that .. it's timeless!
Why the hell are 337 people putting their fingers down ??
She's one of the best singers in the history even if you can't appreciate it...... 🤔🤔
Because some of us can hear, when people sing out of tune. And Billie is the queen!
Lady Day's distinctive voice and phrasing are one of a kind.
This is one of the most beautiful cover versions ever made. It was originally a French song that was translated into English. Sung by Billie Holiday, the lyrics take on another dimension.
It is both pathetic and incredibly beautiful.
th-cam.com/video/BFvYjlgqh4Q/w-d-xo.html fist performed by Mistinguett in the 1920s I believe
i've been a musician, singer ,song writer for 30 years and this is the first time i ever doubted my craft and/or my calling....she's simply "touch by God".
This is my favorite song by Billie. She has different interpretations of it and it's hard to choose which I like best; they're all such liquid gold. The less accompaniment the better; putting an orchestra behind her voice is like gilding the lilly.
Miss Billie wrapped her heart around a song, and she took your heart along for the ride. Another one of my favorites. It speaks to the deepest feelings and says a world of things about love and loss. Miss Billie, no one ever spoke to the soul like you. There was tenderness in the despair, love when none was there, and just that little bit of hope we all need to survive. Thanks again, sweet lady, for all the gifts you gave!
Genius of deepness, meaning, her music is the sound of the soul.
The legendary Miss Billie Holiday💕
The most soulful female jazz vocalist ever.
God Almighty himself has to be smiling when he hears this, knowing he made this incredible singer to entertain us all with songs like this one. Her interpretation of this is truly a work of art!
It cost me a lot
But there's one thing that I've got
It's my man
It's my man
Cold or wet
Tired, you bet
All of this I'll soon forget
With my man
He's not much on looks
He's no hero out of books
But I love him
Yes, I love him
Two or three girls
Has he
That he likes as well as me
But I love him
I don't know why I should
He isn't true
He beats me, too
What can I do?
Oh, my man, I love him so
He'll never know
All my life is just a spare
But I don't care
When he takes me in his arms
The world is bright
All right
What's the difference if I say
I'll go away
When I know I'll come back
On my knees someday
For whatever my man is
I'm his forevermore

Line 6 ... wrong
yup this is correct! accept it's "Despair"
thank you for taking the time to write the lyrics to this song. Arigato gozi masu.
Obrigada por escrever essa letra me dá no no estômago .
A maioria das mulheres ja passaram por relacionamentos abusivos e essa música é o hino.
She is at her absolute best here. Unforgettable performance.
...She takes my breath away.....
I always end up on this video. Billie is the one person I can listen to no matter what mood I'm in
wow...this one brought me to tears...just the amount of emotion she sings with.
God...such a painful song. But Billie was a Master. Everything she touched turned to GOLD. PURE GOLD.
Billie's autobiography reads almost like a work of fiction, her life was so extraordinary and whirlwind, and by the end you are rooting for her self destructive self even though you're in the knowledge that she died a few years after publication. You can hear each ounce suffering dripping from her voice, people don't sing with soul like this anymore, and they'll never come close to matching Billie.
Classic 😊love her. The best
She is the greatest.
@MrCFCarePOO Amen, amen and AMEN!!! I've been listening to and loving Miss Billie's music for more years than I care to mention. That love is as strong today as when I heard the very first song by Lady Day. What cruel people forget when they down her for drugs is that each of us has our own demons to deal with every day. People do the best they can to find a little dignity in their lives. Miss Billie found music. It's a pleasure to see comments from people like you who understand that.
how can you not like this. sung with so much emotion & feeling.absolutely awesome.
this is one of my all time favorite songs ever and Billie sings it the best of everyone/ this is her song / her story for she was singing about her life and the kind of love she was used to her in her life. thats why she is anle to sing this song with such conviction and believability / Billie is the greatest Torch singer that ever lived. Mo one had a voice like hers and her raw emotion was poured into every golden note she sang / and you felt her pain with every word that she sung.
2:04 'He'll never know'... what a tragic line. And the emotion she conveys; said in such a knowing, yet resigned way.
One of my top 5 songs, have to listen to this song once a week. Brings a tear to the eye.
i just love her voice its so soothing
Truly a gifted artist, who put her imprint on whatever she sang. This performance is so on point, it's one of my favorites.
Oh billie, I'm still waiting for my man!
The same for me
same for me
i'm here
She was so so great. With a life full of pain & abuse.Singing with & from her heart.
Love this music, love Billie too, she will always be the best.
No one can deny the movie of her life truly intoducted her music to the younger generation. Yes, it did have it share of flaws,
but now her music will live on as it very well should.
