Homage to Lady Day in 1979 at the Hollywood Bowl



Nina Simone, Esther Phillips, Carmen McRae,

 Nina Simone, Esther Phillips, Carmen McRae, Maxine Weldon, Morgana King sing Billie Holiday

finale.


Great concert that paid homage to Lady Day in 1979 at the

 Hollywood Bowl. Esther Phillips died five years later of

 complications from her drug addiction, bless her heart.

 Maxine Weldon stole the show that evening as I recall with 

"When the Sun Comes Out". A rare treat to have five 

legends come together (Esther, Carmen, Maxine and Nina,

 along with Morgana King, who was left out of the title here)

. Splendid.

GREAT GREAT LEGEND
