GUEST,Jack Origin of Strange Fruit?? (12) Origin of Strange Fruit?? 10 May 02

Anyone know the origin of a song named "Strange Fruit"?

Billy Holiday did it but I was wondering if there are other versions..From CNN..."The exhibit also includes the sheet music to "Strange Fruit," written in the 1930s by a Jewish schoolteacher in New York. It remains one of the world's most recognizable anti-lynching statements."

Here's a link to the lyrics..

Thansk for any help
