  • Wow! Thanks for sharing this with us on here!

  • Wonderful to see the actual record in action. LOL Sounds great. Thanks.

  • great sound!

  • This was from Billie's first recorded session with Teddy Wilson's band, on July 2, 1935, for Brunswick [this copy is most certainly the "red label" Columbia reissue from the late '40s {36206}]. Benny Goodman, Roy Eldridge, Ben Webster, John Trueheart, John Kirby, and Corny Cole are Teddy's "sidemen" here.

  • oops...mine is dated 1935 also

  • I have this same record...dated 1937

  • beautiful track, i have it on my 1959 ami jukebox which you have inspired me to record :) thanks for sharing the beautiful player too.

  • I could almost die to have this record player. Amazing, simply amazing. (And great song too)

  • BILLIE HOLIDAY who died in 1959 is the scratched-by-life voice of this LP.

    Pearl Bailey who eventually was named 'Ambassador of Love' is not heard on this recording.

  • How true!! To me cd's sound so tinny that 78 rpm sounds almost perfect and what's this crapp about about cds lasting for ever. after a while the incoded information on them starts to break

    down. on record depending how to take care of it could outlast any cd
