Eleanora Fagan born April 7, 1915 born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, is considered by many to be the greatest jazz vocalist of all time. Though her career was relatively short and often erratic, she left behind a body of work as great as any vocalist before or since.
During her lifetime Billie Holiday had fought racism and sexism, and in the face of great personal difficulties triumphed through a deep artistic spirit.
