Duke and Billie... That's about all you need to know... Two beautiful creatures that somehow remain outside of the legends that folks speak of... The best, both of them.
This has long been one of my favorites of Billie's. I've heard several versions she recorded, and for many years I preferred one particular version over all others -- I'm sorry; I don't have the version's details in front of me. But wow! This version is much more intimate and has much more impact!
Oh, Billie, Billie, Billie. If you were only still with us!
There is no other artist as raw as Billie. She speaks for the wounded hearts of many; has for ages and will for ages to come. God bless this artistic gift called Billie Holiday.
One big sigh, one deep breath, one tear swallowed down, second one on my pillow. I'm yawning and watching the spider up on the ceiling. In my solitude.
The greatest female singer of all time.

I love this song. I've first heard it singing by Little Jimmy Scott. His phrases are unsurpassed... On the other hand Billie has that mood... oh yes.
