Billie Holiday 

was active from the 1930s to

the 1950s. The first popular jazz singer to move

audiences with the intense, personal feeling of 

classic blues, Billie Holiday changed the art of 

American pop vocals forever.  Often bored by

the tired old Tin Pan Alley  songs she was

forced to record early in her career, Holiday 

fooled around with the beat and the melody 

with great success.
