Billie Holiday was born on April 7, 1915 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania when her mother was just thirteen. ... During the years of 1935 to 1942, Billie made some of her best records of her career. In 1937 Lester Young and Buck Clayton began recording with Holiday and the interplay between the three of them was perfect. ...
During much of 1937, Holiday was with Count Basie’s Orchestra because they were signed to different labels. ...
From 1944-1949, Billie’s voice was actually at its strongest period with Decca although the settings were less jazz-oriented than before. ... Holiday did get a chance to make a Hollywood movie titled New Orleans in 1946 and although she was disappointed at the fact that she had to play a maid, she did get to perform with her childhood idol, Louis Armstrong.
