The amazing thing is how fresh her treatment of these is in this performance. She must have done each a thousand times if she did them once, and she is so present in every nuance, every ornament on the note.

@MusicLoverBrian1 you are absolutely right. I agree with every song you listed no one can touch her on any of those tracks.

@honeybee7700
There are a lot of songs that she sung in which I don't think no one can touch or sing as great the way she did it. Songs like Don't Explain, Traveling Light, My Man, I'm A Fool To Want You (Sinatra and Shirley Bassey are the only other renditions of this song that I like), Strange Fruit, I'll Be Seeing You (again I also like Sinatra's version too), Sophisticated Lady and lots of others seems to belong to her and I don't know how anyone can top her renditions of them.

@MusicLoverBrian1 you will love this concert Brian. I have the album and it's great. You are right no one can sing "God bless the child" she wrote it and no one can top her emotional and honest delivery.

Thanks for posting this great concert from Lady Day! This is such a coincidence because I just purchased this album and I can't wait until it comes in the mail. Thanks for posting some songs from this very concert that will hold me until I get the album. I love hearing Billie sing "God Bless The Child". No one can sing it like her. I heard many singers sing it but not like her but this is her song and she owns it.
