Before Billie Holiday, pop and jazz vocalists were actors, emoting their songs from an imaginative perspective. Only the blues valued singers who sang as if they'd lived the trials and tribulations of their lyrics. Holiday changed all that, marshalling a memorable amalgam of infallible technique, indubitable spirit, and what would come to be called "soul". Born in Baltimore in the 1910s, she caught early breaks with Benny Goodman, Count Basie, and Artie Shaw in the 30s, and by 1941, she'd arrived in full force with her own composition "God Bless the Child". Peppered by drug problems, jail time, failed marriages, and heart trouble, Holiday's personal life was anything but enviable, but the catalogue of music she left is essential in the whole, bolstered regularly by huge reissues, film portrayals like 1972's Lady Sings the Blues (starring Diana Ross as Holiday), and an enduring cult of personality.

This song was originally written for a movie called "Dancing on a Dime" which my father Robert Paige starred in. While I like Billie's true version....I do think this is really cool. My father was nearly 60 when I was born, so it's taken me many years to appreciate this kind of music but I'm loving it now and anything anyone can do to make it more fresh and relevant for a younger generation...I say, go for it. Peace.11 years назад

Michael Murray & mrmostarr i loved reading your discussion, good examples were given by both sides. I belive that most of the music's intent is just regular enjoyment. and for this purpose it is created. (except modern pop-culture wich in my opinion is more focussed on finacial bennefits) i would like to bring up the argument of the coversong, wich could be considerd the personal 'remix' before the electronic music era. the greatest artists coverd other songs and got fame for it f.e Mr. Sinatra11 years назад

Well, I think saying that Duchamp's moustached Mona Lisa is "more philosophically meaningful" is really reaching. And making a statement like that is one thing. Making entire albums (and careers) of remixing other people's music isn't really comparable.11 years назад

Would you argue that Marcel Duchamp improved on the Mona Lisa?11 years назад

Composers who quote other composers aren't doing even close to the same thing as guys who take original recordings and remix them. And Picasso didn't paint all over prints of Manet. He painted his own works simply inspired by Manet. Either way, you said it best, my friend... Swingsett & Takuya are no Picasso.11 years назад

Interestingly, I see that there is also a polluted version of Nina SImone in this series. Somehow the idea of bastardising Nina's recordings seems even more despicable than with Lady Day. Nina was a black freedom fighter and a woman who performed with great honesty and emotional intensity. She suffered much in her life and similar treatment as this to her work is merely cruel, brutal, and lacking in taste. As you suggest, there is little integrity in this deplorable idea.11 years назад

Some might argue that this is one way to expose a younger generation to music that they missed. Sadly, it couldn't be further from the truth as whatever this is, it is not the music that the original artists created. First and foremost, the swing factor is gone. But most people today just don't get it anyway. As you said, this is about turning a dollar and there is certainly no accounting for taste, especially when profit is on the line. God forbid someone exhibit a little integrity, right? :P11 years назад

As you say, friend, it is possible to produce great music in any genre and with and technology. The problem here is that the copyright owners apparently see great art such as that produced by Lady Day as little more than product to shift. One cant expect kids who are unaware of the wonderful things that happened before they were born to know any better, but the copyright owners and the apologists for this drivel should know better. Sadly, when it comes to turning a dollar taste goes out the door11 years назад

While I acknowledge the majority of electronic music-making and particularly remixing as a creative outlet, I fail to see the merit in this. Generally speaking, the people who do remixes don't have even a fraction of the musical talent necessary to create music comparable to that which they've taken to remix and the end product is often more insulting than it ever is enjoyable. We live in a sad world. My sincere apologies to Lady Day on behalf of the ignorant Swingsett & Takuya.11 years назад

I don't know how else to explain to you that you were always able to find the original cos there's multiple copies of it on Youtube, so I'm just going to give up...11 years назад

So you have the rare ability to judge people on the strength of a comment made several months ago because when looking for a version of the standard 'I hear music' he had listened to earlier he was unable to find it because of a surfeit of 'remixes'? WELL DONE! In the meantime, had you desisted from your reply, I would have had absolutely no reason to come back to this in order to answer to your patronising and frankly, rude comments about me.11 years назад
Henry Hill
Sigh, well you obviously didn't look very hard, because if you search 'I Hear Music Billie Holiday', the original is the second one on the list after this one... You say you're not those things, but everything you say right down to your use of the word 'drivel' points to the contrary.11 years назад

I don't care about the 'pwners of the rights to her music' only her music itself. As for this, Billie must be turning in her grave! As for searching youtube, when I made my original comment by which I stand, I had searched for Billie's original recording of 'I hear music' I was unable to find it because of this drivel. As for 'snobby elitism', I most certainly am neither a snob nor an elitist, but I do recognise quality and as I have said already, it is impossible to guild a lily11 years назад

This is part of an official remix series released by the owners of the rights to her music... it's not just some guy. And how are you unable to find the original? A quick search on Youtube and you'll find at least 3 uploads of the original, this doesn't stop you from doing anything! Besides, if you actually care about the music then go BUY it. You didn't have Youtube before 2007, what did you do then? Please take your snobby elitism elsewhere and realise that other people have different tastes.11 years назад

Sorry friend. I see it rather differently to you. I have eclectic musical tastes and am open to many new developments in music. I am also a musician and by my standards, this piece of music is inferior to the original recording. If, for technical reasons I wish to listen to the original but find myself unable find it because some person with a midi keyboard and a Proteus 2000 wishes to demonstrate how cool he feels himself to be by messing up the originals, I feel justifiably unhappy.11 years назад
Henry Hill
Well there is, actually. You're obviously quite old and probably grew up on Billie Holiday, Django Reinhardt etc. and you now approach any recent music (or recent updates to old music) as automatically being 'drivel' or something. That's not exactly uncommon for people like you, but it is sad, because you're missing out on so much...Похожие клипы
