Billie Holiday – “I Must Have That Man”
Billie Holiday recorded “I Must Have That Man” with the Teddy Wilson Orchestra on January 25, 1937. She was 21 years old. Ms. Holiday compensated for her lack of formal training by practicing the age old artist axiom that all art is personal. This graceful ballad is about Billie’s longing for love and is sung with such elegance that it gently sweeps you close to the iconic singers heart.
Billie Holiday – “Your Mother’s Son-In-Law” mp3
I love me some Billie Holiday. One of the most creative, charming, and down right sexy voices in music – both past and present. “Your Mother’s Son-In-Law” is a treasure from one of her first recording sessions, and was an instant classic the moment the engineer yelled “cut.”
Billie Holiday – “Swing, Brother, Swing!” mp3
Magnificent. You know, after all these years, there still isn’t a singer in the same ballpark as Billie Holiday. While she’s influenced generations of performers, still no one has ever sounded like her, or delivered the same emotional range and depth. Here is Lady Day’s immortal recording of “Swing, Brother, Swing!” – an upbeat celebration of music and life. Enjoy.
