Billie was known for singing "behind the beat" Be here she clearly floats so lovely with the Orchestra perfectly. Her voice is literally riding on the melody. A True Master!! I love this Woman..
An excellent Billie´s version , thank you so much " phalenopsis1" post this gold !!! This is the track number 6 of the "LADY IN SATIN -1957/58" the penultimate studio album of Lady Day with the Ray Ellis´ arrangements . Thank you so much posted It !!!! God Bless you Lady Day . A young fan , Amanda.
Of all Miss Billie's songs, I think I love this one most of all. "You smiled at me so sweetly, since then one thought occurred, that we fell in love completely, the day that you bought me violets for my furs." Who else but Billie could turn a simple act of love into such a wonderful, sweet thing. Just magnificent
Thanks for posting this, I'm listening to everyone doing this romantic tune, and of course, OUR GIRL Billie's right up there with Sinatra's rendition. I wish Jack Jones was on here doing it, too.
@butfulmuzik Did Matt Dennis have something to do with this evergreen? I don't like associating Holiday with strings. But this time it works.

Billie Holiday's voice is a perfect match for this sweet old fashioned love song.
