I just read you note about this song.  The Billy Holiday version recorded
June 15, 1937, might just be my favorite recording of all time. With Lester
Young backing her up on tenor sax from the days when vocalists were still
part of an ensemble that feature instrumental solos. This is a glorious
recording of this that is a classic in it's simplicity.

thanks for keeping great music alive and well.
