Strange Fruit - #BillieHoliday (1939)
m.youtube.com/watch?v=Web007rz

This song was a profound & powerful depiction of Billie Holiday’s horror over a #lynching. It was #BannedInTheUSA radio for its heavy, morbid content upon its release in 1939. As dark as the lyrics were, this was a song that the public truly needed to hear at the time. In 1965, Billie Holiday’s #music was #censored again when #ABCradio refused to play “Love for Sale” as the #song’s #lyrics were about #prostitution.
