Happy Birthday Billie Holiday, April 7, 1915. I hope by the time we are celebrating her centenary, we can celebrate the completion of this Pres movie.
Here is the last time Pres and Lady Day ever performed together. Her expression listening to Lester’s solo on Fine and Mellow (between 2:56 and 3:15) says it all about their love of one another.
Great big sad beautiful eyes for Pres and Lady Day.
