Music Monday - Billie Holliday

Things are sort of dull around the Music Monday composing room, so for the next few weeks the cracked editorial staff has decided on a new feature for the day:

The artwork of David Stone Martin on record covers.

One exciting work of art (called Illustration by some) will be presented here each week until they run out. Each is a scan from the editor's personal library and the original copyrights apply.

They are presented here for admiration and educational purposes only.

This is David Stone Martin's interpretation of the Jazz Singer Billie Holiday.

Her legend need not be repeated here. If you don't know it already, you never will.

Yesterday July 17, in 1959, we lost Billie Holiday.
