Billie, you're Immortal! Reminds me of walking into smoky, dark Milton's Tap Room with my buddy Mike, slinking down into the old leather chairs and soaking it all in... Sign on the door said, Be 21; the sign above the LP shelf said, No Requests Please. Like, man, it's free...

I'd like to take a stroll through some of your old photo albums.

I'd love to go back in time to have seen this sung live in a smoky jazz club, sipping on an Old Fashioned and realizing I was in front of greatness and it probably wouldn't get much better than this.

She just wanted to be loved and cared for.
It's all in that fantastic voice..

Great segue from Lucinda Williams  "Essence" to Billie Holiday's "Lady Sings the Blues"

The only reason I give this just a 9 is because I gave 'Strange Fruit' the 10 it deserves earned.

Beautiful, legendary, epic, tragic.

I was going with a masonry drill dipped in fudge punched through your skull, but hey -  Lady Day makes up for it 100x

Oh My!  To me, the mark of an all time classic like this is when you've heard it before, but it captivates and enthralls you to hear it again.  Hearing this just now was to have time and place just disappear and to be lost in the beauty of the song.
 
Well said!

1st time hearing on RP. Why has it taken me so long. A Classic Indeed.

No one like her. A Unique representation of the human voice. Outstanding!

A fellow choir member once said "There are too many people singing with vibrato" and our director, an organ performance major, director, music educator, vocal coach, and instrumental instructor shut her down by saying "no, actually, vibrato helps you find the pitch!" {#Clap}

indeed. Not only did we get the Greatness of Billie, but those were some very good musicians.
I think this would easily be a 10 without her singing.
