I first heard this song in the movie "City Heat". I think about Irene Cara sang it. Ever since then I have loved this song. I love Lady Day as well....forever with a gardenia in her hair.
Today is George Gershwin's birthday! This is giving thanks to the fact that Gershwin and Billie Holiday ever existed and pleasure they brought to the world.
I signed up for a YouTube account because of this. The best performance of this song EVER! Absolutely pure, classy and quartet mix like gentle kisses. thanks so much for this. Billie - the best stylist ever. Everyone should hear this.
oh Billie what an inspiration you were, i remember my parents listening to this kind of music, so many wonderful memories, thank you, so very much for posting this,
Once again, Lady Day never lets me down...

this was when she was burnt out..her voice is deeper,scratchy ,raspy..from the heroin. but still it's beautiful.what a tragedy

I'd like to think I was Billie in a past life! Her music just speaks to in such a way like I know her.

I'd say it's "All or Nothing at All", recorded in 1956 and 1957 and released by Verve Records in 1959.
But I'm not sure
