1001 – #16: Lady in Satin (Billie Holiday)
Billie Holiday is an artist who’s work I enjoy, but I’ve never listened to this album before – the last she recorded. Her vocal performance divided people here, and it’s clearly not what it was during her heyday. Still an emotional, enjoyable listen. For favourite track I can’t look past the poignant opener ‘I’m a Fool To Want You’, her troubled life clear in the performance.
Listened to it before?: no
Will listen again?: maybe
