ANY OLD TIME YOU'VE GOT THE BLUES, SHE'LL SOOTHE THEM AWAY FOR YA.

PIC INFO: Spotlight on American jazz and swing music singer, Billie Holiday (born Eleanora Fagan; April 7, 1915 – July 17, 1959), nicknamed "Lady Day," illustrated by William Stout for his "Legends of the Blues" portraits series.

MINI-OVERVIEW: "After hearing her music and learning her heartbreaking life story, I couldn’t help but fall in love with Lady Day. Her rendition of the controversial "Strange Fruit" haunts me to this very day.

In drawing and painting her portrait I tried to emphasise Billie’s beauty, her femininity and her elegance."

-- WILLIAM STOUT (American painter/illustrator/blues aficionado) on Billie Holiday (and her portrait)

Tonight on @myvpm 10pm EST is #TimeForTheBlues presented by @npr @pbs 📻 "Henry Cook and I hope you will join us for Time For The Blues this Saturday night, September 10th, at 9:00 p.m., as we present several ladies with powerful voices and lots of new releases for your listening pleasure. Our first lady with the great pipes is the #oneandonly Eliza Neals from her new compact disc, #BadderToTheBone. We’ve been following Ms. Neals’ career for several years now and we have never failed to be impressed by her voice and her piano skills. In short, she’s amazing. She also has a new guitar player working with her, #LanceLopez, who plays a mean six-string! Together they make a potent pair and I think you’re really going to like what you hear. We also have some new work from #ShemekiaCopeland. You hear Copeland almost every day if you listen to BB King’s #Bluesville, but if you haven’t heard her let loose on a song, you don’t know what you’ve been missing..." 💋 Thank You for the support of an #independentartist and #femalevoices.
