O’s Notes: She is legendary; a singer who touched the hearts of many while her own life was like a roller coaster. It may be an all too familiar story but the talent of Holiday is unmistakable. Her voice is simply pure bliss and easy to enjoy, packed with emotion and splendor. These 14 songs include her best tunes, “My Man”, “Body and Soul” and the title track on recording made between 1935 and 1942. Our only regret is that we never heard her liveÉ
