Louis Armstrong was one of her idols. She actually patterned her improvisations and phrasing after his playing. How great to see her working with one of her main influences! Thanks for posting this!

"So nice to see my dear old friend during one of her healthy moments.She made me feel special,come in to town and sing at all the clubs the white ones too. I'd get to sit up front with em,oh they hated that,but she might not sing if she didn't get her way,and Billie always got her way.But she got sicker,n always n trouble. We were afraid to let her visit us near the end, cause cops were following her off n on. I missed her long before she died"-- Dot.B my grandma and friend of Billie Holiday

This is the first time I have seen footage of Miss Holiday in her early years. What a beautiful lady she was. How sad that her life ended so tragically.
I must disagree ... ( 1 month ago by davidshep45)
I must disagree with you. Amy Winehouse may have her hangups but please don't diminish her talent. This lady has great potential. If you want to compare life per life you must also agree Miss Holiday was one big mess as well towards the end of her life due to her hard living and addictive behavior. The difference is Amy Winehouse has the luxury of unleashing her anger being of a different time. Billie was forced to keep her pain inside and put up with crap we would not stand for today.
She's at the start ... ( 1 month ago by jalex11)
She's at the start of her career, supposedly in her prime and she sings off key in many of her recordings, especially when attempting to scat (see "'round midnight"). Vocally, she is far from great some may say she is a great songwriter and that gives her merit but I wouldn't say her songs are GREAT. Interesting, good, maybe slightly pretentious but hardly great. Mostly I am just sick of people comparing her to artists that are clearly in a different league than her like Billie.
Drug addiction can ... ( 1 month ago by davidshep45)
Drug addiction can cause one to hit a few sour notes. Billie Holiday hit many sour notes towards the end of her career. It's easy to put someone on a pedistal when they are dead. After all, they can no longer make mistakes. Amy Winehouse is at a disadvantage here because as you say "she is dealing with addiction at the beginning for her career" If she can over come this problem, with maturity I believe she could easily rival Miss Holiday. Her problem is youth not talent. She has the talent.
It's not about ... ( 1 month ago by billiefan2001)
It's not about putting someone on a pedestal, it's about respecting and celebrating a great artist who left behind a timeless and influential body of work in spite of her problems. To suggest anyone can "rival" her is missing the point. Winehouse may have talent but she's completely derivative at this stage. I too get tired of the endless Holiday comparisons and I'm willing to bet Winehouse feels the same way. Let's just enjoy the Lady and her music and leave Miss Winehouse out of it.
Billie had perfect( ... ( 1 month ago by jalex11)
Billie had perfect(relative) pitch in her prime before the drugs took there toll. Amy's recordings(before she was heavily addicted) prove her to be quite lacking in her technical abilities. Also, even during her darkest days billie always kept it together on stage(sang adequately), where as Amy cannot even sing one song out of a set anymore without appearing COMPLETELY incoherent and shouting and slurring random words to the music. You may as well compare Charlotte Church to Maria Callas.
No disrespect at ... ( 1 month ago by davidshep45)
No disrespect at all to our sweet Lady Day but I have just as much respect for Amy Winehouse. She is a young, troubled girl with loads of raw talent. In this case youth is her enemy. She is just busy being young, experimenting with her life and career. I am not diminishing Miss Holidays talent at all. All I am saying is they are both great singers and Yes, yes, yes, I still feel Amy is just as talented. She just needs to get here priorities straight and get some help with her addictions.
No respect for a ... ( 1 month ago by jacksblack1)
No respect for a junkie. Amy Winehouse sucks. Billie Holiday was a lady and acted like a lady. Yes she was a junkie also, but she had class. Amy Winehouse has as much class as the rodent she was kissing.

Anyone who listens to soul, jazz and rnb will tell you that Amy Winehouse aint got shit accept for a fake american accent. Her controversial life style is to give her publicity and she gets nuff media support from her jewish controlled media - a good example being, by comparing her to true rnb, jazz and soul artists; she will never be a legend, it's just fake shit to give her publicity to sell her music.

its amazing to me that you so called "jazz lovers" put down on the great talent that is amy winehouse. im sure if lday day was around today she would be more then happy to share the stage with amy. we shouldnt focus on amys private life but rather pray for her and hope she continues to bless us with her AMAZING talent. if you were really "jazz lovers" you would understand amys gift and be glad that she is carrying on the legacy of people like the great lady day!!!!!!!!!!

I could see Billie and Amy being great friends as they share alot. Sure, Bille probably went through more than Amy with not only personal troubles but also with all that was going on racially at the time.
They both posess(ed) god given voices that will be remembered for generations to come.
