Synopsis

Album Details
A Concise Volume of Great Recordings from One of the Icons of Jazz Music. Holiday's Voice was Unlike Any Other and Could Interpret a Song and Make it a Classic with her Inimitable Style. She Once Confided that She Developed her Phrasing by Following the Melody Lines of Louis Armstrong Records and Duplicating them with her Voice. Persecuted Personally in Life, She Rose above her Troubles and Turmoil and Left a Legacy of Vocal Art that Will Most Likely Never Be Equalled in Popular Music. This Outstanding Collection Includes Definitive Recordings of "i Loves You Porgy", "my Man", "The Blues Are Brewin'", "Don't Explain", "Easy Living", "God Bless the Child" and Many More. As a Special Bonus, Two Classic Holiday Tracks have Been Remixed by Bent ("Speak Low") and the Junior Boys Own Gang ("Yesterdays").
