Billie Holiday says: Amazing to think Billie Holiday was a teenager when she recorded this song - probably 17 years old. What's even more surreal is the obstacles she overcame to get to this point. And to top it off, her band included the finest jazz musicians of the day ~ Count Basie, Roy Eldridge, Benny Goodman, Gene Krupa, Hot Lips Page, Artie Shaw, Art Tatum, Cootie Williams, Teddy Wilson, Lester Young. Magic Happens.
