I can't get enough of this song!!! Ms. Holiday's vocals and those key changes!!! With one of the best bands of all time...the ending of this song 2:54 I could put on repeat...I Don't know why, but it just stirs something deep in my soul!!! Thank you for posting this!!!

Here it is over a year since I commented and I am still enjoying this as much as I did the first time I heard it over 40 years ago…I can’t figure out for the life of me why that ending stirs me so…any big band song that does that minor key thing gives me goosebumps…
Thank you again for posting this and more importantly for picking up the pieces and putting back together the original professors channel…Godspeed

Wonderful song and arrangement; sheeze, what "dumbo" at Victor Records prepared the label crediting "Billy" Holiday? If I'd done that, I'd have been walking around with a bag over my head in shame for weeks.
