Thank you for posting this song! I own the "Lady In Satin" album but I was hoping that someone would post this beautiful yet haunting masterpiece back on Youtube. I love everything about this song and the whole album: the choice of songs, the lyrics, the musical arrangements, the haunting choir, and Billie Holiday's voice that sounds like sandpaper, drips like honey, and beautiful like a flower.
