What I love about "Lady in Satin" is the songs were mostly recorded by Billie for the first time. Along with the Ray Ellis arrangements to back her. Very sophisticated stuff. Many were songs that Frank Sinatra had recorded. But she owns them after this album.

Billie sang these songs with such raw honest emotion that every other female singer sounds like a school girl playing with dolls and pretending to know what love and life consist of. Her voice throbs with pain yet is moving and effective.Billie is the true great communicator

Un voce di seta.....ruvida, unica e inimitabile. Splendida!!!

This was also one of Marvin Gaye's favourite albums. It moved him to tears like many who have experienced the genius of Billie on 'Lady In Satin'.
-
This was Billie's favourite album. She knew 'Lady in Satin' was her masterpiece. She was right.

You've Changed Billie Holidayby taino20993 views
The album was recorded in February 1958. To most people, it sounded as if Billie's voice was "shot"- but even Ray Ellis later realized "how great her performance really was". It was as if everything she'd endured in her life finally came to the surface during the production of the album...and that transcended everything. I just can't hear this without crying....

The voice is gone... the musicianship and soul are intact, in spades... every cut on this LP breaks my heart, ennobles me, and, frankly, provides me with an arranging lesson.
Gorgeous, and heartbreaking, beyond words.
