Comment:

Though she died at the age of 44, Billie Holiday left us with an impressively deep and varied catalog. Her true gift was her ability to seize (or caress) any lyric and tell an intimate and moving story, allowing her unique personality, private suffering, and occasional joys to shine through. Her music penetrates both the mind and the heart, body and soul, reminding us that art is not just about hitting the right musical notes, but the right emotional ones too. Here, you’ll find Holiday in all her shades and colors, as we offer you stone-cold classics, including different renditions of her finest tunes — compare the Decca studio version of “Don’t Explain” to a later Carnegie Hall performance; or “God Bless the Child” recorded at both ends of her career — so that you can hear exactly why Lady Day was beyond compare.
