Details: Amazon.ca Culled from the Columbia Records reissue packages, variously released under the multivolume Quintessential Billie Holiday umbrella, this package goes straight for the love songs, the heart of Holiday. Ranging from such playful lyrics as "Let's Do It" and "Them There Eyes" to such essential Holiday as "You Go to My Head," "The Very Thought of You," and "Easy Living," this set is guaranteed to keep the home fires burning brightly. Lay this one on your lover next Valentine's Day. As was so frequently the case with Holiday, the ensemble support is impeccable, including many of the swingers from Columbia's Greatest Hits package. The bonus here is Count Basie on piano, leading his swinging big band on "They Can't Take That Away from Me." --Willard Jenkins Product Description This collection provides a comprehensive overview of Billie Holiday's optimistic and romantic side. 16 digitally remastered tracks including "All of Me," "Them There Eyes," "Let's Do It" and more. Musicians include Lester Young, Teddy Wilson, Buck Clayton, Count Basie, Jo Jones, Roy Eldridge and others. Liner notes by Delfeayo Marsalis; complete track info.
