I'm 17 years old, and I don't like where music is going nowadays. The further music progresses forwards, the further I step back to older music. I love the oldies, and the oldies love me. Timeless indeed.
One of the best and most significant pop songs ever written. Sung with only the class that Billie Holiday could produce. Some good people out three today who, unfortunately, will never be discovered due to what is being passed off as"music" today. Like her swing version - as opposed to many singer's dirge delivery on this.
Billie never met a song she couldn't transform. Tons of singers tried to imitate her or equal her but never came close. She was an original to the end.
I didn't grow up listening to that kind of music but I can still remember the first time I heard one of Billie's Songs "Stars fell on Alabama last night" & I instantly fell in love with her voice & started learning for her like I never did for any singer before in my life! She's a star now in the sky & no weakness can hurt her sensitive soul anymore!
I love this song, because it reminds me of a game me and my mom would play when I was little. We would ask each other "How much do you love me?" and the other would always think of something new ,"As many stars as are in the sky" "As many pedals on all the flowers in all the world" "As many drops of water in the ocean".
According to the Jazz Discography project, Charlie Shavers is on trumpet. The rest of the group is Oscar Peterson (piano) Herb Ellis (guitar) Ray Brown (bass) Ed Shaughnessy (drums) recorded for Norman Granz's Clef label, later released on Verve. NYC, April 14, 1954. This is one of her earlier 1950s sessions.
I am a 21-year-old who appreciates the music of Billie, Ella, Nat, Duke, and many others around that era. I just wish we had more music that sounds like this now, music like this that makes you feel what the artist is talking about.
God... That makes me so happy!! People make fun of me at school, they call me ''old lady'' 'cause I dont really like nowadays music. Expecially music here in brazil... ahhh awful! hahaha THAT is music!!
But not to say that people who like oldies don't appreciate modern music! I love modern music, especially when hearing new things people haven't tried before! Human kind is nothing without exploration and experimentation! Although, the elements of jazz are incorporated into music we hear everyday! :) So much culture, so little time! Music has no limits, @vanocor! We must learn to appreciate all!
i love the snappy ending! How deep is the ocean...a-doobedee-do-bop...how much would I cry.....ba-doobedee-do-bop....how high is the skyyyyyyyyyyy!!! The phrase goes down...then then horns bounce it up again etc..inspirational! The playfully answer the rhetorical question and also take the register up to the beginning of the next phrase. The horns echo the uplifting sentiment you feel after you you think of your lover and sigh "how much do I love you" GREAT music! (And I'm a 28yr old male)
she was one of the best jazz singers ever along with all the greats of her era...Just a beautiful lady who died to to young and to soon......I just love her music
im only 17 and i LOVE this kind of music...im thinking of putting songs like this in my graduation ....can anyone recomend any other artist like this i need more songs lol :)
When it comes to Lady Day&other greats like her,TH-cam should have another option besides like/dislike..it should be ABSOLUTELY LOVVVVVE!!!!How anyone could hear her sing this and NOT get a chest full of a happy heart is BEYOND me!I could care less what others think,Brilliant,Beautiful IMPECCABLE music such as this will NEVER get old!TRULY,Music for the Millennias to come!!
God bless you Billie holiday.I never get tired of listening to your songs and music. They are jewels i will always treasure.. ..Greetings from FRANCE..
@JeanLittle I agree, talent like this is timeless! I have heard her music come by before, but now i'm really discovering Billie Holiday. Gotta say that i love it, and i'm only 23 to!
Well, @vanocor I'd like to believe people who like jazz like it because we love the quality, the improvisation, and the pure emotion and dedication needed to pull off a good performance of it! I'm sure many of us also like it's richness in culture and how many different people have performed it who have their own story to tell with these songs and the sheer number of people who can relate to the message that those people are conveying. That is why people enjoy jazz. Not because it's old. I'm 14.
I'm thinking about using an arrangement of this tune for an audition piece for a university music program... People these days would have more respect for jazz if they knew the virtuosity involved, including short love songs like this. I love the vulnerability and openness you can sense from Holiday, that's what all real art is about, the stuff we all feel but are too nervous to expose...
Oh yes, I love her aching version of "Night and Day". I find that it's best that I don't listen to her interpretations of songs until after I've heard a few others because if I listen to hers first the other renditions don't stand a chance of getting an unbiased evaluation :)
@DarthKrattus Simply because today's singers aren't sold via radio, they're sold on TV and on the internet, so imagery took music over as an artistic expression that's sellable through looks instead of sounds.

Not only your generation, the previous one too, thanks to the businessmen and cheap dealers mainly, I think. But there is always hope, you are evidence of it
Ok so we have seen how Sade copied Julie Londons voice in her early work and adopted her style, now the second part of the branding was based on Billy Holiday, not just in the obvious ponytail she used to glue on in the early days but also in her persona or personality... Cheers Paul Cooke
God bless you and all youngsters. I'm 86 and I never get enough of this kind of music.

some of the best songwriting I have ever heard. I want to eventually write that well.I'm 17 and counting.

Thomas .Hennessey people like you are my favourite demographic of youtube commenters.
billie holiday was a real singer .with the heart and the soul of an real artist
Nobody before or since ever sang like Billie Holiday! So cool, so smooth, so filled with feeling no matter what she sang.
When Billie sings the ocean is deep indeed, but she takes me not to the sky but to heaven!
a childhood memory for me my Mum used to sing this song to my sister and I as a lullaby....sweet memories....ty.....

My mum use to sing this to me when I was little - now I sing it to my babies :) One day they will be singing it to my Grandchildren.
Such a staple in the list of the great Jazz pieces, and she made it such.

Billie Holiday was amazing. I love this version of How Deep. And I also wanna know who the trumpet player is!

haunting
There have been get singers and interpreters since BH but not one has come close. She died too young and was the greatest.
my girlfirend reccomeded this to me,
im into grime and rap and acoustics and bassy stuff
but this is coool/
This is real music right here ! forget about hannah montana(miley cyrus) it's all about the 1930's though the 1990's and 2000's
wow
If you put the quality to 240p it sounds nice and original.
year after year they
try to meet
thinking of each other constantly
and of the rumors of ressemblances between them"
W.S. MERWIN
I feel good.
yo soy de espana pero me encata billie holiday!
Etta James (only) performed this song so good. Her style is so different but that way we have two great pefrormers of this song.
@JakeVegaMusic mine told me that too...did you by chance go to FIU?
wow what do you mean by your last line a music that almost don't love
@Rangiku0Haineko sometimes are the "gaps" in an artist's life that make
him as we know him...just like Edith Piaf's life..
@mareboom Cheers to that my friend
If I ever lost you, I will find you..
(...) the earth itself is always between them
yet he leaves messages
concerning celestial bodies
as though he were telling of his own life
and in turn he finds
messages concerning
unseen motions of celestial bodies
movements of days of a life
and both navigators call out
passing the same places as the sunrise
and the sunset
waking and sleeping they call
but can't be sure whether they hear
increasingly they imagine echoes
@JakeVegaMusic Right
.
I am here after Mission Blue :)
what do you mean when you say a music that doesn't love
appreciate the trumpet player, nice mute sound
@JakeVegaMusic LOL I totally agree sorry if you took me wrong :). Right
@mareboom don't be so negative, good music from your generation is just waay harder to find :)
What year was this song recorded
I'm only 7, and I like this music!
listen to jonathan schwartz wnyc weekends noon-4 or podcast.
you sound very cold but what you say is true
try Ska and Reggae. Alot of good bands are playing these days.
No negativity in the reggae beat
Not only your generation, the previous one too, thanks to the businessmen and cheap dealers mainly, I think. But there is always hope, you are evidence of it
@mareboom it wasn't our generation... its our parents generation that runs the record companies... and also congress but I digress.
it's actually not that gen either, it's the executives and producers, who try to make generic music that most consumers will like and pay for
@mustangred someone has a temper...
Irving Berlin, 1932.
whose the trumpet player?
I like the more dramatic versions of this song lol
Chrisette Michele sounds so much like her is amazing
Money killed good music
Is that singer from south states? seriously why does she talk it such accent?
Im 5

Me when blimp
@DarthKrattus You really need to read some history of Billie Holiday, nobody would want to live her life.
@mareboom Maybe the mainstream did but you're just missing out on really good music. Teenagers don't know shit, hahaha.
not your fault kid. nowadays it's all about money. all quantity and no quality.
Fallout vibes
you can HEAR her thinking about the lyrics as theyre coming out of her mouth
