Eleanora Fagan (April 7, 1915 – July 17, 1959), professionally known as Billie Holiday, was an American jazz musician and singer-songwriter with a career spanning nearly thirty years.
 Nicknamed "Lady Day" by her friend and music partner Lester Young, Holiday had a seminal influence on jazz music and pop singing.

 There were other jazz singers with comparable talent, but Holiday had a voice that captured the attention of her audience.
Good Bread Alley is the third studio album of Carl Hancock Rux.
