Is Strange Fruit the best song ever written?

It's in the top three songs at least

It's definitely up there.

The Flamingos - I Only Have Eyes For You recording may beat it anon.

Definitely. It's amazing that it was released in 1939.

It unironically is in the top five.

I wish we could have a /pre-1950/ general

I don't even think it's the best Billie Holiday song or at east the one I enjoy the most. Like >>74715135 had said, the time a song like this could come to fruition LOL is contextually important and amazing.

I think St. Louis Blues and Sister Ray are the best songs. Honorable mention to >>74715117
and Warm Leatherette.

I don't know about "Best" song. That's a matter of opinion, but the fact that the song was even released is amazing. I'll bet it was banned in the south when it first came out.

It has an unusual progression, right? The end doesn't sound conclusive. Amazing song.
