I seriously thought this WAS Billie Holiday the first time I heard it. And I've listened to a LOT of Billie over the years.

I mean ... it's so spot on it's ... and she was like 22 at the time.

1. weird when someone cops somebody elses vocal signature

The dude from Plimsouls sounded weirdly like John Lennon at times. I think the current vocal hipster style is a mashup of Billie Holiday, Jeff Buckley and Amy Winehouse.

Like Miles said - it takes a long time to play like yourself.

2. David Sadaris does a perfect Billie Holliday n/t

3. I've not heard her other stuff I'll admit

But this is a cover of a Billie Holiday song (or at least she did a version) so sounding like Billie Holiday kinda makes sense.
