✨ Billie Holiday Trade Marks

★ Gardenia flower in her hair
★ Unique soulful singing voice

She died with 70 cents in the bank and $750 strapped to her leg -- a reminder of her lifelong fear of poverty.

Her grandfather was one of 17 children born to a black Virginia slave and her white Irish master.

Posthumously inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame for "God Bless the Child" (1976), "Strange Fruit" (1978), "Lover Man" (1989) and "Lady In Satin" (2000).

Her vocal range spanned a ninth - just over one octave.

Enjoyed reading comic books, including Captain Marvel, throughout her adult life.

Scrubbed floors in a brothel and tried to become a dancer before an audition pianist asked if she could sing.

✨ Billie Holiday Quotes:

"Don't threaten me with love, baby. Let's just go walking in the rain."

"I'm always making a comeback but nobody ever tells me where I've been."

"You've got to have something to eat and a little love in your life before you can hold still for any damn body's sermon on how to behave."
