Billie Holiday can be heard at its musical zenith between 1944 and 1950 in absolute best form on this 2-CD set, which includes her complete Decca recordings. During her time with the label, she was accompanied by strings and studio orchestra for the first time in her career. Her voice was strongest in those years. The highlights are original versions that Billie kept in her repertoire, such as Lover Mann (her biggest sales record), Don t Explain and Good Morning Heartache. This collection also includes two studio duets with Louis Armstrong as well as three previously unreleased alternative takes. 24-bit digitally remastered, extensive 20-page booklet.
