Vocea lui Billie Holiday

Vocea lui Billie Holiday

Astazi ascult muzica lui Billie Holiday ( Eleanora Harris). Aceasta s-a nascut in 7 aprilie 1915 si a incetat din viata timpuriu, la numai 44 de ani, dupa o viata zbuciumata si marcata de o copilarie groaznica.

Ma uitam astazi peste pozele lui Billie si chiar daca zambea in multe dintre ele si isi prindea flori vesele in par, ochii sai tradau o tristete adanca.

Billie Holiday a fost buna prietena cu Louis Armstrong, cu Ella Fitzgerald, cu Tallulah Bankhead si cu Francoise Sagan, despre care aceasta a scris in cartea sa de memorii, Cele mai frumoase amintiri, aparuta in Romania la Editura Nemira. Cele doua mari doamne s-au intalnit la prima vizita a lui Sagan in America.

Mi-am pregatit deja un playlist pentru o zi frumoasa de sambata.
