Billie Holiday – “They Can’t Take That Away From Me” (mp3)
You know that an artist is truly iconic when they have the ability to transport the listener to a magical far off place. Billie Holiday does this with “They Can’t Take That Away From Me.” Recorded live in the equally iconic Savoy Ballroom on June 30, 1937, she is backed here by another music icon, Count Basie and his Orchestra.
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.
Whooo whooo! All aboard the express to Hot Town, people, get on and get ready. This is so hot there’s steam comin outta my laptop. Can you dig? Fess Williams and his Royal Flush Orchestra have a winning hand with this classic, and you should get with it right away. Oh, this is good.
