Billie Holiday (7th April 1915-17th July 1959), also called Lady Day (and born Eleanora Fagan Gough in Baltimore , Maryland), was a U.S. jazz and popular-music singer. Her personal life was as turbulent as the songs she sang. She married trombonist Jimmy Monroe on 25th August 1941. While still married to Monroe, she took up with trumpeter Joe Guy as his common law wife and her drug dealer. She finally divorced Monroe in 1947, and also split with Guy. In 1947 she was jailed on drug charges and served eight months at the Alderson Federal Correctional Institution for Women in West Virginia.

In his essay "On the Mic" Ian Penmann compares Holiday songs with Brecht's balancing act, "whose lyrics paint a more or less normative picture, but where, if you listen – really listen – to the voice, you know things are otherwise."
