Billie Holiday
Billie Holiday was an American jazz singer active from the 1930s until her death in 1959. She was known for an intimate, lyrical vocal style marked by flexible phrasing, a blues-inflected tone, and a conversational approach to timing that reshaped melodies. Holiday performed with both small jazz groups and larger bands, often bringing emotional depth to ballads and torch songs, and her personal struggles and expressive delivery are prominent elements of accounts of her life and work.
