Billie Holliday or Robert Johnson fans?

Its rare these days to find someone that gives this woman the respect her music deserves. especially from the younger generation.

Im 22, and people look at me like Im crazy when I have them listen to some old jazz.
I think theyre crazy when they turn on dubstep.

Anyways,
I (semi)recently made a song on an instrumental that sampled a Billie Holliday song.
I thought to give it the proper respect it deserves, It should entail something with her as well.

The lyrics (save for the first verse) are song titles throughout her career.

as rare as it is to find Billie Holliday fans these days, its rarer to find a Robert Johnson fan, let alone someone whose heard of him.
The first verse are song titles from his career.

The song is also symbolic for my life-long relationship with life and its struggles onto eventual over-coming of its fetters
