Billie Holiday(April 7, 1915 / July 17, 1959), also called Lady Day (and born Eleanora Fagan Gough in Baltimore MD), was an American singer, generally considered one of the greatest female jazzvoices of all time, alongside Sarah Vaughanand Ella Fitzgerald. She sang with Count Basie, Benny Goodman, Artie Shawand more - but it was her voicethat was said to dominate many others' music. Holiday was working for Columbia in the late 1930s when she was introduced to a song entitled "Strange Fruit," which began as a poem about the lynching of a black man written by Abel Meeropol, a Jewish schoolteacher from the Bronx. Meeropol used the pseudonym "Lewis Allen" for the work. The poem was set to music and performed at teachers' union meetings, where it was eventually heard by the manager of Cafe Society, an integrated nightclub in Greenwich Village, who introduced it to Holiday.

Comes Love Lyrics
Billie Holiday
Lew brown /sammy stept / charles tobias
Comes rain, put your rubber on your feed
Comes a snow, you can get a little heat
Comes love, nothing can be done
Comes a fire, you know what to do
Blow a tyre, buy another shoe
Comes love, nothing can be done
Dont try hiding, cause there isnt any use
You start sliding when youre heart turns on the juice
Comes a headache, you can lose it in a day
Comes a toothache, see your dentist right away
Comes love, nothing can be done
Comes a heatwave, you can hurry to the shore
Comes the ...., you can hide behind the door
Comes love, nothing can be done
Comes the measels...
Comes love, nothing can be done
That all brother, if youve ever bin in love
That all brother, you know where Im speaking of
Comes a nightmare, you can always stay awake
Comes depression, you may get another break
Comes love, nothing can be done
