The following is one such message from one of our colleagues I think youâll appreciate. [The Empire Trading] Billie Holiday Biography Billie_HolidayBillie Holiday (April 7, 1915 â July 17, 1959) was an American jazz singer and songwriter. Nicknamed Lady Day by her loyal friend and musical partner, Lester Young, Holiday was a seminal influence on jazz and pop singing. Her vocal style, strongly inspired by jazz instrumentalists, pioneered a new way of manipulating phrasing and tempo. Above all, she was admired for her deeply personal and intimate approach to singing. âYou canât copy anybody and end with anything. If you copy, it means youâre working without any real feeling. No two people on earth are alike, and itâs got to be that way in music or it isnât music.â â Billie Holiday She co-wrote a few songs, and several of them have become jazz standards, notably âGod Bless the Childâ, âDonât Explainâ, and âLady Sings the Bluesâ. She also became famous for singing jazz standards written by others, including âEasy Livingâ and âStrange Fruit.â Her early career is hard to track down with accuracy. But, evidence suggests, that from an early age she worked as a prostitute for a Harlem brothel and was imprisoned for a short period for soliciting. âI never had a chance to play with dolls like other kids. I started working when I was six years old.â â Billie Holiday She later gained work singing in local jazz clubs before being spotted by a talent scout, John Hammond in 1933, aged 18. Her voice and recordings are loved for the depth of emotion and intensity she could bring to classic standards. Her range of voice was not the greatest, but her distinctive gravelly voice soon became very famous and influential. She was a famous icon of the jazz era and influential in the development of jazz singing. In the late 1930s, she began singing a civil rights song called âStrange Fruitâ â a song which told the tale of a lynching of a black man in the deep south. It was very controversial for that period, and it was not played on radios. It was recorded for Commodore Records, and she performed it many times over the next 20 years. Billie Holiday had a difficult upbringing which influenced her perspective on life. She was drawn to abusive men, and she experienced many tempestuous relationships. She also became increasingly dependent on various narcotics which contributed to her premature death in 1959, aged just 44. [Trump]( Eva Peron Biography Eva Peron Eva Peron served as Argentinaâs First lady from 1946 to 1952. Eva Peron or âEvitaâ became a powerful political figure with a large support base amongst the poor and working-class trade union members. She inspired millions with her campaigns to help the poor and give women the right to vote. To her supporters, she was a saint who strove to overcome poverty and injustice. To her detractors (in the nationâs military and bourgeoisie) she was a controversial figure at the heart of Argentinian politics. âI have one thing that counts, and that is my heart; it burns in my soul, it aches in my flesh, and it ignites my nerves: that is my love for the people and Peron.â â Eva Peron Eva Peron was born in rural poverty in a town called Los Toldos. She was the illegitimate daughter of a failed landowner. Aged fifteen, she left her rural home to go to Buenos Aires where she hoped to pursue her theatrical career. Aided by her natural beauty she gained work in the theatre. In Buenos Aires, she also began campaigning for women to be given the vote and to deal with the widespread poverty endemic in Argentina. She caught the eye of a prominent politician, Juan Domingo Peron, and in 1945 they were married and six months later she became President Peronâs, First Lady. As the presidentâs wife, she took a high profile in campaigning for issues such as womenâs rights and for the improvement of the descamisados (shirtless) i.e. the very poor. âThe nationâs government has just handed me the bill that grants us our civil rights. I am receiving it before you, certain that I am accepting this on behalf of all Argentinean women, and I can feel my hands tremble with joy as they grasp the laurel proclaiming victory.â â Eva Peron Her high profile, beauty and concern for the poor galvanised the nation. The dispossessed saw her as a saviour. The military and upper echelons of society saw her as a threat. They criticised her professed concern for the poor as a way to gain political support for her husband. Others have criticised the regime of Juan Peron for having fascist tendencies, though these allegations remain controversial. Her supporters dispute these assertions of her enemies, arguing the military and political opponents were merely trying to tarnish her image. In 1952 she was given the title of âspiritual chief of the nationâ. Six months later, in 1952, she died tragically young from cancer. In 1955, when Juan Peron was overthrown by a military coup, they took her body and had it interred in a Milanese grave under the name of a nun. They feared her legacy would provide a point of opposition to the military regime. In 1973, Juan Peron returned to Argentina to begin a third term as president after the military regime was overthrown. Eva Peronâs body was returned in November 1974. âTheyâre looking to destroy the country,â Trump warns as he calls out the threat from the left ⦠and unfortunately, heâs right. Freedom of speech ⦠gone. Freedom of religion ⦠gone. Freedom of self-defense ⦠gone. It all starts with President Bidenâs Executive Order 14067. The story of her life was made into the hit musical Evita by Andrew Lloyd Weber and Tim Rice. In 1995, Madonna starred as Evita in a movie version of the musical. Eva Peron remains an important symbol of emancipation, especially for women in Latin America. She was one of the first women to create a lasting political/humanitarian legacy. Christina Fernandez, the first female elected President of Argentina, claims that women of her generation owe a debt to Eva for âher example of passion and combativenessâ.
