Never heard that song before. Found a good version on YouTube.
Dating from when Billy Holliday was still rather young.
Impressive but very heartbraking. Still have an old LP with her songs. None of them are really cheering you up much, but it's strong; it's still beautiful.
Only now I understand the connection between Strange Fruit and the lynching. I was going to ask but thanks, the song makes it clear.
