What a great moment in musical history. So many jazz greats in one room, and one magnificent voice! Oooh yes!!

such an ignorant statement. you could have framed it as your opinion. but because you didnt, what you think has been invalidated.

My favourite music video clip of all time! The best moment is when Billie nods her head at the end of Lester Young's solo , reflecting upon all the times they had together. Extremely poignant since they were both dead within two years!

I am a heroine addict myself. I love women!

Heroin is destructive. Billie herself said, "Junk never helped anybody play better, sing better, or do anything better. All it can do is kill you the long, slow, hard way."
Still, I don't think her use reflects badly on her character. Many good people are drawn into vices, especially artists who have to deal with inner demons. I especially don't think Billie's heroin use diminishes the value of her music, though it may have lowered the quality (but how would we know?).

I hope nobody takes your "so what if she did heroin" commment to mean that there's nothing destructive about heroin.

to answer your question, yimheretoday. Yes, she was a junkie. She was for most of her adult life. It's your assertion that she was nothing more and nothing less. She was so much more. And, sir or ma'am, if you cannot hear that, then why make a comment about her at all?
