1915 - Eleanor Fagan is born in East Baltimore, Maryland. She will
become a jazz singer who will influence the course of American
popular singing, better known as Billie Holiday or "Lady Day."
She will be best known for her songs, "Strange Fruit," "Lover
Man," and "God Bless the Child." Although she will enjoy
limited popular appeal during her lifetime, her impact on other
singers will be profound. Troubled in life by addiction,
Holiday will join the ancestors as a result of drug and alcohol
abuse in 1959.
1938 - Trumpeter Frederick Dewayne Hubbard is born in Indianapolis,
Indiana. From a musical family, Hubbard will play four
instruments in his youth and will later play with "Slide"
Hampton, Quincy Jones, and Art Blakey. A leader of his own
band since the 1960's, he will record the noteworthy albums
"Red Clay," "First Light," and the Grammy Award-winning
"Straight Life."
