Strange Fruit  performed by  Billie Holiday & Her Orchestra  (1939)
Composed by Allen
From: USA
Recommended by tinks [profile] on Wednesday 2nd May 2001

"Strange fruit hanging/from the poplar tree"...one of the most haunting songs ever written. Holiday recorded this song about a lynching several times throughout her career, but this original version features a performance so intense that it is impossible to beat.
