Sparked from an interest in jazz and blues, PBS reports, the renowned singer launched her career at a Harlem speakeasy. There, she was ultimately "discovered" by age 20. But sadly, Holiday — born Eleanora Fagan Gough — would pass away less than 25 years later.
"Born on this day in 1915, Eleanora Fagan became 'Lady Day,' painting scenes with her evocative, soulful voice," reads the caption of the joint Instagram post. "From her early days at the Apollo Theater to Jazz at the Philharmonic, through late-night club residencies and countless recordings, her legacy lives on—in wit, in heartbreak, in songs like 'God Bless the Child' and 'Strange Fruit.'"
