Big Bill Broonzy (born Lee Conley Bradley; June 26, 1903– August 14, 1958) was an American blues singer, songwriter, and guitarist. His career began in the 1920s, when he played country music to mostly African American audiences. In the 1930s and 1940s, he navigated a change in style to a more urban blues sound popular with working-class black audiences. In the 1950s, a return to his traditional folk-blues roots made him one of the leading figures of the emerging American folk music revival and an international star. His long and varied career marks him as one of the key figures in the development of blues music in the 20th century.

Her vocal style, strongly inspired by jazz instrumentalists, pioneered a new way of manipulating phrasing and tempo. She was known for her vocal delivery and improvisational skills. Holiday won four Grammy Awards, all of them posthumously, for Best Historical Album. She was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame and the National Rhythm & Blues Hall of Fame. She was also inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, though not in that genre; the website states that “Billie Holiday changed jazz forever”.

Johnny Cash Handwritten Set List Ex Sotheby’s
Set list handwritten by Johnny Cash himself, one of the most important musicians of the 20th century. Piece appears to be a working set list, as 6 songs are crossed out and 10 are marked with an X. Songs are separated into two columns, songs he would play with the Tennessee 3 and songs he would play with the full band. The Tennessee 3 side contains one more song and many more early hits, including “Folsom”, “I Walk the Line” and “Ring of Fire”. The list was most likely written in 1994 or 1995 when the Tennessee 3 briefly came back together. Date can also be estimated by the handwriting and release dates of the songs listed, including Kris Krostofferson’s “Why Me” (written as “Why Me Lord”), which Cash featured on his album “American Recordings” in 1994. Popular songs from the list include Cash’s first single, “Hey Porter”, “Cry Cry Cry”, “Folsom Prison Blues” (written as simply “Folsom”) and the iconic “Ring of Fire”. Comes with original Sotheby’s auction card which reads: “Property from the Estate of Johnny Cash & June Carter Cash”. List is written on white, wide-ruled school paper and has one vertical and one horizontal fold. All songs written in black ink except “Hey Porter” in blue. Measures 7.5″ x 10.5″. Very good condition.
