Why you'll love it

Lady in Satin was the album Billie Holiday herself was proudest of late in her career, and her weathered, deeply expressive voice against Ray Ellis's strings is unforgettable.

About the album

Produced by Irving Townsend, Lady in Satin pairs Billie Holiday with a full orchestra arranged and conducted by Ray Ellis, setting her voice amid lush, romantic strings and a choir on a programme of great torch songs and standards.

"I'm a Fool to Want You" is one of the most moving vocal performances in jazz, "You Don't Know What Love Is" and "For All We Know" are breathtaking, and "Violets for Your Furs" and "But Beautiful" are tender and intimate.
