  • Kick your shoes off, turn up the volume, lie on the floor and let it drown you - They don't make 'em like this anymore.

  • Running a little slow it sounds. I remember it being just a bit faster. I had this record. I had never heard of Billie Holiday before until this record. I had a boyfriend later that had her records and I just fell in love with her.

  • Fantastic post....thanxxxxxxx

  • Im always amazed at how big and gawky those old 78's were and they would break so easy! Technology is a mother!

  • It couldn't get any more classic! Thanks for posting.

  • Wonderful. Just wonderful.

  • Among Billie's best recordings and, what a shame, her only commercial recording with Shaw. She loved him and loved the band but couldn't take the prejudicde she encountered as the result of being a black girl with a white band. She was the best singer around, she was gorgeous, she dressed impeccably, she was smart, she was nice(r than she should have been) and she got punished anyway.

  • @JWARDable . Good point about the French word for "artichoke" sounding like "artieshaw". The French word is "artichaut"...and that is, indeed, how it sounds. Along the same line, when Artie Shaw lived in Spain, he formed a company called "Artixo"...which in Catalan, also sounds like "Artie Shaw".

  • @jim30bell : In French, there's another funny problem : when I say "Artie shaw", people understand "artichoke" :a good reason me to prefer "Art" !
