Her records have impacted on everyone from Dinah Washington to Aretha Franklin to Amy Winehouse and it's difficult to guess at the direction that popular music might have taken, had Billie's recordings not been there to guide it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBillie crammed a lot of music into a career that barely lasted 25 years, and there have been all sorts of anthologies that take an overview of her quarter of a century of recording. This Jasmine collection concentrates primarily on one decade - the 1940s, when Billie was probably at her peak as a singer and finally able to record songs that she personally identified with, rather than songs that her producer thought were what her audiences ought to hear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this collection you can hear many of the songs that have become forever associated with 'Lady Day', whether through her own versions or via revivals by the likes of Diana Ross and Alison Moyet. Songs like 'That Old Devil Called Love', 'God Bless The Child', the famously infamous 'Strange Fruit' and our title track 'Trav'lin' Light' are woven into the very fabric of what made Billie Holiday such a musical icon, whose music lives on more than 60 years after she left us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeautiful music, beautifully produced arranged and sung, beautiful audio, another beautiful listening experience from your friendly neighbourhood Jasmine label!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI Got A Right To Sing The Blues\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFine And Mellow\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStrange Fruit\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrav'lin' Light\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMy Old Flame\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI'll Get By (As Long As I Have You)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI Cover The Waterfront\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEmbraceable You\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs Time Goes By\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe's Funny That Way\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLover Man\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat Old Devil Called Love\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDon't Explain\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGood Morning Heartache\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEasy Living\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSolitude\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI Loves You Porgy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMy Man (Mon Homme)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAin't Nobody's Business If I Do\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMy Sweet Hunk O' Trash\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThem There Eyes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGimme A Pigfoot (And A Bottle O' Beer)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGod Bless The Child\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlue Turning Grey Over You\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDetour Ahead\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54419482411393,"sku":"2491555","price":12.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/0604988282726.jpg?v=1750562383","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/2491555","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
