Heartbreaking Poignance

There's something in Billie Holiday's voice

 and sad searching eyes, it cuts...

 through the core my soul!

I totally agree with you. The depth of sadness in her voice is the true meaning of 'blues' that cannot be described in mere words.

Holiday was the ultimate queen of the blues, for sure. Thanks for the comment and visit, Jenna:-)
