    This is from the 1947 movie “New Orleans”, Billie’s first and only feature film. Musically, a real gem.

    Music has no color! besides it’s not true, so watch your mouth.

    It’s all about a reflection of current circumstances. Thats what music is in any culture and it’s disrespectful and inconsiderate to criticize in such a manner. Perhaps a closer examination of the lyrics and melodic origins may assist in your assesment! … “How comes”

    Billie Holiday venne in Italia a Milano per fare da contorno ad un concerto Rock. Gli astanti, tutti rokkettari ignoranti come talpe, insofferenti dai preamboli musicali come la sua esibizione; si scatenarono in dileggiosi insulti alla anziana regina del jazz. Una vergogna mitigata dagli ascoltatori facendo passare i fischi e boati come entusiasmo per lei.

    How comes blacks made better music back then? … where they actually used bigband orchestras and melodic vocals, singing about more important and better things in life, rather then retardedly rapping about sex, money and ass 8I…

(Dedicicated To Zulu Chief Shaka)

Hero who surpasses other heroes!
Swallow that disappears in the clouds,
Others disappearing into the heavens!
Son of Menzi!
Viper of Ndaba!
Erect, ready to strike,
It strikes the shields of men!
Father of the cock!
Why did it disappear over the mountains?
It annihilated men!
That is Shaka,
Son of Senzangakhona,
Of whom it is said, Bayede!
You are an elephant!
