Billie Holiday
Billie Holiday: Songs For Distingué Lovers (Acoustic Sounds Series) LP
Verve, 1958
It is undeniable that Billie Holiday's singing changed in her later years. Her voice darkened and shifted to a lower range. Her economy of expression distilled her sound to its essence — a kind of heightened speech. The classic LP Songs For Distingué Lovers – her best work of the 1950s - has also deepened and become burnished with time.
