About Me



Cute Hot Layouts From WHATEVERLIFE.COM!
My name is Billie Holiday. I was born on April 7, 1915 as Eleanora Fagan in Philadelphia, Pa. I lived with a lot of my relatives until I finally moved to New York with my mother, Sadie. In the 1930's, I began singing in local clubs and renamed myself Billie after the film star Billie Dove. I was discovered playing in a Harlem jazz club by John Hammond in 1933. He helped me get some recording done with Benny Goodman. I also met Lester Young and he started calling me "Lady Day". We became close friends for years to follow. I recorded many popular songs such as "God Bless the Child" and "Strange Fruit".
