Billie Holiday / "Lady Day" 1915-1959
Miss Holiday became a singer more from desperation than desire.
She was named Eleanora Fagan after her birth in Baltimore.
She was the daughter of a 13-year-old mother, Sadie Fagan, and a 15-year-old father who were married there years after she was born.
The first and major influence on her singing came when as a child she ran errands for the girls in a near-by brothel in return for the privilege of listening to recordings by Mr. Armstrong and Miss Smith. http://www.nytimes.com/learning/general/onthisday/bday/0407.html
By early 1959 she had cirrhosis of the liver, and she died on 15 July, from heart failure caused by her condition.
She died leaving 70 cents in the bank.
