I could say the same thing for the oldies who don’t know recent bands or singers, artists. Stop with this speech, show the young lads this stuff then. I discover it on my own and I’m sixteen years old, trust me a lot of people my age know this stuff. And to the other ones who don’t know it then it’s their problem, start an instagram account to reach out.
@@jules8159 I know some of the more up to date . I don't listen to music like I use to. When my daughters were home , it was different of course. Have a good day.😊
Shows you what Hollywood is all about! You've got two great talents performing there and the cameraman/director kept panning to the duffie bland blonde.. ...
The piano man is my old Palm Springs Racquet Club boss,Charlie Beal, Bud Scott was on guitar, Kid Ory on Tbone, Red Callander on Bass, Barney Bigard on clarinet, and Louis Armstrong Tpt. Zutty Singleton was the drummer. Barney was my mentor on clarinet more than 50 years ago. It was Charlie's job to teach Billie Holliday "Do You Know What it Means to Miss New Orleans as it was handed to him by the composers. Billie couldn't read music but she sure could sing!
Makes me wonder how these wonderful and talented artists felt having to perform under segregation. Having to go through back doors and not being able to eat at restaurants and stay in hotels then to add insult to injury, being ripped off by record companies. Strong and brave people.
They were strong and brave...and talented. I remember an interview with Lionel Hampton where the interviewer asked him wasn't it awful that he had to stay in a black hotel when the rest of Benny Goodman's orchestra didn't. He just smiled and said, "You don't understand, that's just the way it was back then." I realize it's easy for it to seem like I'm downplaying it, because I was born white and always will be, but sometimes I think we dwell too much on the faults of the past when we should just be grateful for the music. I'm grateful for the music of the all black orchestras like Count Basie and Duke Ellington. Not because of the segregation, but because of the music those artists produced.
I hear you, JR. I think I could have worded that differently. It took me most of my life to realize I can't put myself in a black man's shoes. In the nineties I remember having dinner with a friend in Dallas, visited with he and his family, and when I went out the front door I realized....it really hit me....that I was white. That what my friend and his family still faced every day, I could just get in my car and drive away from. But I still dream that we can get to Dr King's dream, where we see each other's character, and not the color of our skin.
My mom and dad told me about this lady when I was a little girl and they knew who she was and I came of read about her and I came listen she was truly something she only comes once in a lifetime she came she went and she's remembered she was Lady Day rest in peace beautiful lady
@Dr. killpatient Unfortunately you are correct I studied who I idolize for years almost turn my living room to a shrine with themes from The Lady but everyone really hates truth so by the end of the rabbit hole Truth be told truly a most talented fallen angel.
Billie Holiday was a beautiful woman. Amazing that such a beautiful person could have survived such a traumatic start in life. That she made it to 45 was a miracle in itself.
Billie Holiday listened to Armstrong records when she was growing up and developed her style and phrasing by first imitating him ... she was an amazing talent-stylist ... who left this earth before time .
Billie Holliday!!! what a lovely queen!!! the best artist ever!! Along with louis the best artists of the whole planet for ever!!!! May the whole world worship them always!!!
Incredible find. Thanks so much for uploading. One of my favorite singers singing one of my favorite songs plus Louis Armstrong accompanying = total perfection!
A most exceptional piece of Americana! The greates Blues singer with the Greatest Jazz trumpeter! Wow, the world was made a richer place by them.. God Bless the Good they did and forgive any wrong.
My mimis late husband Phil met Elinore around 1950-51 at the Blue Note in Chicago. They had a short lived fling, he sang on stage with her a couple times as well. I’m very happy to say my grandpa was an OG for pulling that off. Billie Holiday is my all time favorite artist!! Love her!
What a beautiful can calming voice. One used to be able to sit on a soft couch at Starbucks and listen to music like this while enjoying coffee or tea. Now it's all hard chairs and who knows what kind of weird music.
This video gives me the chills. Two jazz titans (Billie Holiday and Satchmo) singing/playing a song about missing New Orleans...can't get any better y'all.
Sometimes I'm sometime struck by how Portuguese speakers, when they make a comment on TH-cam in their first language, are really only understood by people from Brazil (and 12m elsewhere in the world). It has to suck, at least a little bit, to speak the only language of the former world powers that's understood by so very few people. While I'd love to speak a few languages fluently, I'm glad my first language is understood by 75%+ of the total population of people in this world.
LA MEJOR...................................SIN DUDA......................UNA VOZ.......ESPECIAL Y UNICA............................INDESCRIPTIBLE...................
I've listened to nearly every major singer of the 20th Century: Frank Sinatra, Al Green, Aretha Franklin, Lennon/McCartney, Elvis Presley, Marvin Gaye, Bob Dylan, Michael Jackson, Prince, Ella Fitzgerald. I love them all, but I think Billie Holiday's voice will always be my favourite.
@@bessjazz Fair, difficult to squeeze them all into one list! Although, given the content of the video, it's pretty heinous that I forgot Satchmo himself. I now realise I also forgot James Brown.
"God bless the child that's got his own, that's got his own..." Thank you, Billie, and Louis, for the beauty you brought to the world.
Two of the most immortal icons of jazz whose legacies will live on forever
Right on brother 🌹
So true, and Billy's voice always gives me goose bumps. Heaven on Earth💜
Louis & Billie...it doesn't get any better!!
u would not think amstrong could play for another artist. well, what a giant, great singer but will play sax for billie holliday
@@samuelmuiruri4704
Sax?...time for some homework.
Louis Armstrong is widely acknowledged as the greatest trumpet player in the history of jazz.
@@loilt5091 my bad, i stand corrected.
@@loilt5091 he’s my favorite but definitive best is a stretch when you consider people like miles Davis and John Coltrane

Been obsessed with Billie since the first time I heard her as a child.
I think of beignets 😋😋
Tallulah Bankhead was obsessed with her as well Billie holiday was fine as hell
Still the greatest jazz singer period. Such natural singing
Hello Leslie, how long have you been hearing this song now?
@@tylerjakes1827 I have listened to this song since 1987 when i was 11. My old English teacher used to play her songs on an old record player when we sat in his room during wet lunch breaks. Loved her ever since
Her voice is so exquisite and unmistakable.
Fantastic video with Pops and Billie. Armstrong playing his cornet on this one. Just like he did when he started out in New Orleans. Bravo.
No music like that today. Think of all the young people who will never know the greatest singers and musicians of the past.

How could one person have so much class and beauty? Lady Day is my shero
Billie Holiday, the greatest jazz voice ever. Nobody came close...
Well I think Ella Fitzgerald is right along side of her. Love both, I love to listen to Miles Davis but he can't hold a candle to Louis.
@@donnalayton6876I got it,Louis,Miles and then WYNTON,but,Al HITT,Maynard,Charlie Shavers,And I can’t think of the Trumpeter that died young

You’re so right. I stop in my tracks when I hear her beautiful voice. I’m filled with emotion when she sings. No one like her, for me 🤩
I like her mellow voice.
So do I. It wasn't as mellow in her 50's recordings
My lovely Billie Holiday 💖 thanks 🙏💐🇫🇷

I just watched this movie on TCM. I loved the movie and the concept but enjoyed Billy Holiday singing most of all...
Hello Claudia, How are you doing?
LOUIS él Príncipe del jazz 👑 inigualable brillante saludos dé México 🇲🇽🌵🌵
Billie Holiday was a beautiful woman. Amazing that such a beautiful person could have survived such a traumatic start in life. That she made it to 45 was a miracle in itself.
All her life was traumatic, even while dying she was persecuted and chained to a hospital bed.
Amen
…but lives on forever 🙏🏻
💔Billie💔
AHHHHH, these two right here… ❤❤❤❤
I can just imagine the jam sessions going on in heaven with these two…
Billie Holiday listened to Armstrong records when she was growing up and developed her style and phrasing by first imitating him ... she was an amazing talent-stylist ... who left this earth before time .
Um privilégio assistir este vídeo
Eis aí os dois maiores talentos do jazz.
Прекрасная классика джаза! Чарующий голос и душевная мелодия!
my hometown is so special. And god bless these angels Billie and Louis ❤️
Thanks to this clip I discovered that Billie Holliday performed with Louis Armstrong, once upon a time. Very good.
Roland Scialom in her autobiography I think she says that they performed together several times , as well as this movie they were in together

Arturo de Cordova. Is the guy who greets the blond at the end of the clip. Just the greatest mexican actor ever.
What is the title of this movie?
Very first jazz record i ever heard n i now have Billie tattooed n i will get louis n possibly ella n duke Ellington aswell
What a delight to hear their voices and see this video. Thanks
What are You think Iam here for? Lovely amswer by Billy.

....thanks to the man....playing the trumpet alongside her....she idolized him....
Billie Holliday!!! what a lovely queen!!! the best artist ever!! Along with louis the best artists of the whole planet for ever!!!! May the whole world worship them always!!!
Well let's just worship God and adore what he has created
true Royalty.
Doesn't get any better than Louis Armstrong on the trumpet...
It just doesn't!
Still sounds beautiful in 2020
Let's gather here...
Watching this classic master piece in 2021
Pure joy
Como não se encantar que preciosidade pros ouvidos Billie e Louis ficam ficam ficam lembrados o que eles cantaram eles cantam e encantam pelos seculos

I was a bum at age of 25 in New Orleans back in 1976 . Got myself together back then and living in Dallas now , but still miss New Orleans .
Fantastic.... bunch of legends right there...

Magic Billie. Never been one like her. Never will be
it's so soulful... i truly adore her❤️
Listening to this sipping a drink on the rocks ! Thinking about my great grand parents and the people of yesterday that lived in the old south
God that lady could sing. Such a beautiful voice and such a tragic life.
This video gives me the chills. Two jazz titans (Billie Holiday and Satchmo) singing/playing a song about missing New Orleans...can't get any better y'all.

She was the best jazz singer and allways will be god bless you.

Nothing like New Orleans style jazz. Wow!

Thanks, Henry, for the compliment. Check out my original music on TH-cam so that I can keep the smile on my face. Take care!
Billie had an old soul in her voice even though she was young that is a true gift from God.

Beautiful 🎷🎺❤
And I love Billie Holiday forever
Beautiful old classy tune, performed by one of the great masters of song.
Used to listen to these ol' tunes with my dad (RIP).
