I discovered Nina's version of Strange Fruit first and thus have the strongest connection to that one. I personally find the rawness and "newness" of Billie's version to make it the objectively better version, but they're both great. I would kill to hear the original musical version as sung by Laura Duncan, but I don't know if there are any recordings of that.

This one actually puts the brutal imagery into my mind with the most clarity.
