I cry whenever I listen to this album. The pain, the damage of the years, are in her brilliant singing. Arrangements are gorgeous setting up a jarring contrast of smooth strings and glistening brass against the painful to hear voice of Lady Day. More an artifact of history than an entertainment, this belongs in every Holiday fan's collection.
