5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent single-disc overview of Billie's career, December 28, 2010
This review is from: Definitive Collection (Audio CD)
This is an excellent (and excellent-SOUNDING) overview of Billie Holiday's career. If I were asked how to improve it, I would add one or two more of her early numbers ("I Cried For You," say). And I would substitute the earlier version of "God Bless the Child" (the one included in the Ken Burns CD) for the later one here. That said, sound-wise this runs rings around that Burns CD. And it includes several key Holiday songs not on the Burns. Highly recommended!
