Did I Remember - Billie Holiday 1936.
Last night we saw the movie Celebrity, a wonderful movie produced by
Woodie Allen in 1998. Woodie has an unbelievable taste to add music tracks to a film to create the right ambiance. In this film he uses the tune Did I Remember sung by Billy Holiday in 1936.
Billies career had just taken off and it was the first time she had the backing of Bunny Berigan on trumpet with the incredible Joe Bushkin on piano, the fine Artie Shaw on clarinet and Cozy Cole on drums.
Thanks for sharing this great song and the words are so special.

I also first heard this in "Celebrity". Immediately went and got the CD Allen does know good music and how to incorporate it into the theme of the movie. Thanks for the post and for the info on the combo. What talent; Well not see their likes again!
