BILLIE HOLLIDAY - The last song I heard from her "Can not take my eyes over you", already here in Uruguay, her voice, already without strength and tamed by alcohol, hardly distinguished from her songs when she was younger. Lady Blues, as she was called, died of cirrhosis in hospital in 1959 at the age of 44, along with her dog, the only being that accompanied her. Her husky voice is a sad song like a prayer to a Spiritual Creature to rescue her from her inner demons.
