Billie Holiday was the pre-eminent jazz singer of her day and among the most revered vocalists of the century. She is known for her distinctive phrasing and soulful, soft, yet strong voice. She is often considered the foremost female singer in jazz history, a view substantiated by her influence on later singers. Considered by many to be the greatest jazz vocalist of all time, she lived a tempestuous and difficult life. It was the song "Strange Fruit" that made her a popular singer.
