Reunited after many years with tenor saxophonist Lester Young, Billie's visual reaction to his moving solo remains as eloquent as anything she ever sang; a touching finale to their historic musical partnership. Introduced by Robert Herridge (producer/host of CBS' "The Sound of Jazz"), this is perhaps the single most famous "live jazz" performance in TV history. Other members of the all-star band seen here: Coleman Hawkins, Ben Webster, Gerry Mulligan, Roy Eldridge, Doc Cheatham, Vic Dickenson, Danny Barker, Milt Hinton, Mal Waldron..."We shall not see their likes again."

to answer your question, yimheretoday. Yes, she was a junkie. She was for most of her adult life. It's your assertion that she was nothing more and nothing less. She was so much more. And, sir or ma'am, if you cannot hear that, then why make a comment about her at all?

No habrá nunca una mujer que cante como ella. Unica. Escucharla es como entrar por la puerta de la ciudad doliente.

Jigaboo? Are you fucking kidding me? She was one of the first to sing about violence and the south and you come and start saying this shit? GTFO. Just leave. We're not fucking scientologists; no one's idolizing anyone. Go back to your Kenny G.
