Billie Holiday The Lady Sings  Billie
Holiday Proper Box, 2002 4xCDs. box set. booklet £15.50
 Over
43 years have passed since Billie Holiday died on July 17, 1959. Since then
she has become more famous than during her lifetime. There have been films
and stage plays about her, several film documentaries, books have been written
and her recordings have been reissued constantly. The 99 tracks follow her
recording career between 1935-1949. Backed by small All Star bands under
Teddy Wilson's & her own leadership & the more formal studio bands during
her Decca days, Billie turns every song into poetry.
Compiled and produced for release by Joop Visser. |
