Billie Holiday - Fine And Mellow



Avec Coleman Hawkins, Lester Young, Ben Webster, Gerry Mulligan, Vic Dickenson, Roy Eldridge..

Une perle. Enjoy!

My man don’t love me
Treats me oh so mean
My man he don’t love me
Treats me awfully
He’s the, lowest man
That I’ve ever see

He wears high trimmed pan
Stripes are really yellow
He wears high trimmed pan
Stripes are really yellow

But when he starts in to love me
He’s so fine and mellow

Love will make you drink and gamble
Make you stay out all night long repeat
Love will make you drink and gamble
Make you stay out all night long repeat

Love will make you do things
That you know is wrong

But if you treat me right baby
I’ll stay home everyday
But if you treat me right baby
I’ll stay home everyday

But you’re so mean to me baby
I know you’re gonna drive me away

Love is just like the faucet
It turns off and on
Love is just like the faucet
It turns off and on

Sometimes when you think it’s on baby
It has turned off and gone

As a Fan of Billie's music, I must say Merci infiniment de l'avoir dans votre Blogg space! The Lady desrves to be glorified. Magnifique epoque for the music, but Lady Billie was not having fun, she was Artist who sang her suffering! at time I am not sure we should enjoy it or should we be sad.

Loula posted a piece in her Blogg which not only expresses Billie's sadness and suffering but a suffering of a Nation, Black Americans, during an era where Linching was the business of the day. That rendition was so powerfull.

good evening dudes. I'm actually into shoes and I was digging for that singular model. The prices due to the fact that the boots were around 180 pounds on every site. But for all I bring about this site selling them for half price. I exceptionally want those [url=http://www.shoesempire.com]gucci sneakers[/url]. I will probably buy them. what can you tell me about these?
