Billie Holiday ringtones for Verizon, Nextel, Cingular, Sprint and other cell phones
Before Billie Holiday, jazz was an impersonal style, most singers giving up their personal artistry for the song and the band. This made the many crooners interchangeable, since no onje could tell them apart anyway. However, at the time, Billie Holiday changed all this, refusing to compromise her singing for either the song or the band. Only Bessie Smith did the same at the time.
