| Billie Holiday was the pre-eminent jazz singer of her day and among the most revered vocalists of the century
Though her brief life was fraught with tragedy, Holiday left a transcendent legacy of recorded work
She was closely associated with tenor saxophonist Lester 'Prez' Young, who dubbed her 'Lady Day.' She was born Eleanora Fagan Gough, choosing the stage name Billie Holiday after film star Billie Dove
Her horn-like phrasing and the riveting intensity of her voice, springing from a well of pure feeling, allowed Holiday to transcend even the mediocre material she was sometimes thrown in the course of her prolific recording career
At her peak, Holiday headlined New York's Town Hall and toured Europe
Lady Sings the Blues, a biographical film from 1972, rekindled interest in Holiday's career and music
Billie Holiday, is born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Erykah Badu Has a Good Attitude (But No One's Perfect) - NY Rock
Article marking the 1997 debut album "Baduizm."
The print press has been quick to compare her to the late Billie Holiday
At times, yes, she does sound hauntingly close to the legendary jazz vocalist but Badu’s voice is far less pained than that of Holiday’s
Badu somewhat reluctantly acknowledges the tie to Billie Holiday but also lists Chaka Kahn, Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye as influences
