#BillieHoliday would have turned 100 today. "Clarence Holiday, Billie's errant father, was a guitarist for Florence Henderson's big band. As a child, Holiday did odd jobs for a local brothel in order to hear recordings of Bessie Smith and Louis Armstrong that were played there. Her parents already split up and her mother impoverished, Holiday's adolescence turned into a nightmare when, after being raped at age 10, she was accused of being 'provocative' and sent to a reformatory. Holiday moved to New York City in the late Twenties, taking any singing jobs she could find around Harlem. Influential talent scout/producer John Hammond heard Holiday in 1933 and set up her first recording session, which included Benny Goodman as one of the supporting musicians.... Holiday joined Count Basie's big band for one year in 1937, signing on next with white clarinetist Artie Shaw's band. Racial restrictions —Holiday wasn't allowed to enter hotels from the same entrance as the rest of the band — revolted her, and she soon quit. Holiday led her own groups until the end of her career."
