An all-time great jazz singer, Billie Holiday was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame posthumously in 2000. The late singer fell victim to drug and alcohol-related problems before her death in 1959. There is one thing she never got to live through unlike other musicians on this list.
She never got the chance to experience the fancy lifestyle. She grew up impoverished and around call girls before she signed her record deal. Reports are she passed away with only $750 to her name.
