I can't think of Billie Holiday without tears coming to my eye. There was always something of pain, always something that was heartbreaking in her rendition. And she wasn't only talking about her own heartbreak. She was talking about yours, too. The thing that joined us, you know, was the common concept that the misery she was singing, you know, was one that included us and embraced us all.
-- Ossie Davis, Jazz
