Born Eleanora Fagan Gough on April 7th, 1915 in Philadelphia, PA, Billie Holiday is perhaps the most revered vocalist in all of jazz music. Songs like "God Bless The Child" and "Strange Fruit", are moving classics. Even though a hard life of drugs, alcohol and depression led to Holiday’s early demise in 1959, her music lives on, and sounds just as vibrant and warm today as it did then.
