With hits like "Strange Fruit," what was jazz legend Billie Holiday's nickname?
Answer Lady Day
Saying that her voice felt like she was "playing a horn," jazz singer Billie Holiday earned the nickname "Lady Day" from sexophonist Lester Young, whom she called "Prez." The friends toured together in the '30s and became "creative soulmates," working together on various projects.
