  • Life must have been so much simpler back then... sigh.

  • Billie's version does it for me. A close second is Dinah Washington's.

  • @AleekahTV Sarah Vaughn does a great version too.....as does Ella Fitzgerald.

  • @gjc82071 Oh yes, definitely. But I just particularly enjoy the way Billie carries the tune.

  • @AleekahTV Me too. Billy's is my favorite version, followed by Vaughn's, then I like equally the versions by Washington & Fitzgerald.

  • I started to like it more when I heard it in Portuguese with the title "CHOVA OU FAÇA SOL - eu vou te amar -" with the wonderful Brazilian singer PEDRO STEFANI.As beautiful songs are immortal and beautiful in any language because the sensitivity of the soul are especiails people.I love this song! BRAVO

  • linda cancion

  • Beautiful!!

  • Wow!!!!

  • This is my husbands and mine song. And the words describe every moment of our relationship!!

  • @mimimarion68 Ours too a discussion about Billie is what got us really talking

  • Her gentle, raw, and sometimes hardened voice makes her music come to life...it's that somber tinge of loneliness and betrayal, that shows that she means, every word she's singing. Her music, becomes an extension of herself, she was genuine, and it's so difficult to find a musician like that nowadays. But, out of that sadness, it's not difficult, for it to bring a smile on your face as well, a small, heart-wrenching smile, if only, because you know what she truly meant.

  • .great interpretation, but when and where?

  • 声が・・・・すごい!こんな歌い方、するのは彼女だけ。いつ聞い­ても、あきません。

    回顧録には最高ですね。

  • Are you kidding me? What Finesse And Class. Takes Me Away To A Musical Climax.

  • beautiful woman, timeless voice!!

  • Sherry .... This is for you<3

  • "Lady Day" you were a true feeler of LIFE.

  • Lady Day's songs are good for farewell.make me sad and happy too.She was,she is the best blues singer for me.

  • I like her version. So classy. Chet Baker's is lovely as well : )

  • AWWW THIS IS MY SONG

  • I think Billie would have been suprised to know how many people love her now in 2011 as compared to when she was alive. I don't think she had any idea how much she gave to the world. There'll never be another Billie Holiday.

  • @11thephoenixrises11 most deffinetly

  • i use to sing this to my ex sometimes while he slept #memories

  • @iamNATURYL ..... that is one of the greatest visuals I've had in ages.. how sweet that must have been

  • CLASSIC<3

  • Great version recorded 25th August 1955

  • damn beautiful......

  • This is why shall always remain The Lady Day!

  • this lady wore her GUTS on her sleeve .she is A standart that all singers regardles of genre needs to measure themselves. phrasing is the number one lesson

  • No one like her. Never was, never will be.

  • I love to play jazz divas when I clean house..or cook..or read..or...

  • @unabashed00 Mmm... mmm... Open endings! hehehe

  • Billie was the ultimate interpreter of a lyric. Never will there be another artist capable of her innate musicianship and feel for transmitting the essence of a song. I'm totally humbled and overcome by this rendition.

  • Great audio quality. Thanks!

  • kicked my ass...& I'm a fckn loadmouth..but such ahardcore romantic ;(_

  • Extremely nice!!! Amazing!!!!!!

  • mmm beyonce original...no. she has a voice but nothing original about her. billie holiday is something else, extraordinary.

  • mmm beyonce original...no. she has a voice but nothing original about her.

  • amazing, amazing .......without words...thank you !!!

  • I'm at the ultimate blues bar in my mind right now with this song.

  • oh yeah

  • her voice are best in Jazz

  • Who played guitar on this?

  • Perfect voice...

  • I wish nowadays so called lady gaga could sing like this , not those craps pop techno songs

  • @Footballzeal - Lady Gaga is the least of the shit out there. I find her the only one who's bearable because she has some sense of originality and doesn't have to look like Barbie all the time. How about Ke$ha?? Now THAT shit makes me want to shoot myself. ; )

  • @JennJenification don't mention lady gaga and originality in the same sentance, she is just a more extreme madonna. fuck gaga! the only lady singers that do justice these days are like alicia keys, beyonce knowles, and adele adkins...fuckin gaga...pfftt

  • @continuum06 no. just no. lady gaga has a voice that is faaaar better than madonna's. if alicia keyes and beyonce sang good music i'd agree with you. but they don't. adele is wonderful. but a completely different style than gaga. no comparison.

  • @Footballzeal her voice reminds me more of Dinah Washington than Billie...

  • rebacca from the x factor needs to sing billie holiday, that will blow us fans away

  • @LKHDspoofs thats EXACTLY what I thought. Her voice is perfect for Billie Holliday or Nina Simone.

  • true art.

  • ela era muito linda

  • come shine....

  • "In the day your ever on my mind and in my heart "

  • No one can sing like Billie. There is so much pain in her voice. It is so sad the way her life was.

  • Lady sings the blues ;')

  • Beautiful voice. No one can sing like Miss Holiday.

  • I love this one.............

  • Brilliant, absolutely brilliant! Her voice tells her life story.

  • ? her voice is magical but get real about what it does, it has blue authenticity.

  • You obviously don't know much about Billie Holiday's life, nor the many changes her voice it under went due to drugs. Remain ignorant.
