Because I think its appropriate.
THE DAY THE LADY DIED
By FRANK O'HARA It is 12:20 in New York a Friday three days after Bastille Day, yes it is 1959, and I go get a shoeshine because I will get off the 4:19 in East Hampton at 7:15 and then go straight to dinner and I don't know the people who will feed me I walk up the muggy street beginning to sun and have a hamburger and a malted and buy an ugly NEW WORLD WRITING to see what the poets in Ghana are doing these days I go on to the bank and Miss Stillwagon (first name Linda I once heard) doesn't even look up my balance for once in her life and in the GOLDEN GRIFFIN I get a little Verlaine for Patsy with drawings by Bonnard although I do think of Hesiod, trans. Richmond Lattimore or Brendan Behan's new play or Le Balcon or Les Nègres of Genet, but I don't, I stick with Verlaine after practically going to sleep with quandariness and for Mike I just stroll into the PARK LANE Liquor Store and ask for a bottle of Strega, and then I go back where I came from to 6th Avenue and the tobacconist in the Ziegfeld Theatere and casually ask for a carton of Gauloises and a carton of Picayunes, and a NEW YORK POST with her face on it and I am sweating a lot by now and thinking of leaning on the john door in the 5 SPOT while she whispered a song along the keyboard to Mal Waldron and everyone and I stopped breathing. Written in 1964 and reprinted from "Lunch Poems," with the permission of City Lights Books.

I'm bringing this old thread up to the front because a) I am obsessed with Billie Holiday! I wake up singing "the difficult...I'll do right now. The impossible will take a little while!" and dance to "Them There Eyes" all day, fall asleep with "Gloomy Sunday" and dream of Billie Holiday. I'm a hopeless case, and I need support in my obsession!
b) Billie Holiday deserves a better thread than this. Does anyone know who wrote these songs? because the lyrics combined with her outstanding vocal expression are absolute genius! And are there other artists like her?
