#BillieHoliday,what a voice, what a strong woman @BBCTwo #Icons #GreatestPersonOfThe20thCentury #StrangeFruit is an amazing tune....with so much meaning. #Heartfelt
Ok, this is on a whole new level now - they've just mentioned @Joan_Rivers & #BillieHoliday...

Billie Holliday yet no Beatles?? Maybe just my personal taste but ... I suppose if the criteria is it has to be one person, but Lennon/McCartney if not the whole group sure are iconic #Icons
Her decision to record Strange Fruit brought America's race relations into sharp focus and her voice moved millions.
Is Billie Holiday your choice for the most important entertainer of the last century? #Icons
