Billie Holiday’s ‘I’ll be seeing you’ is my pick of the day. Yesterday, when bored of all the pop songs I had downloaded from Limewire, I thought to try some of the old school jazz favorites again. Seconds after tapping in ‘Billie Holiday’, up came what seemed quite a number of matches with her gems such as ‘Strange Fruit’, and ‘Summer Time’. I was delighted! I really enjoyed listening to Holiday’s haunting rendition of ‘I’ll be seeing you’ and thought I’d introduce my readers to this golden throated jazz songstress. I, myself, was introduced to Billie Holiday and Louie Armstrong (to name a few) sophomore year in ‘Art and Contemporary Society’ class in high school. I can’t tell you how often I benefit from the wide range of exposure we all recieved in those few months in class. Go on now, click the link and let the music take you away!
