• "Lady In Satin" marks Billie Holiday's last major hit and her penultimate album. Although several live recordings were made after this Columbia album, and she even made a second album with Ray Ellis for MGM, none of these were as enduring as Lady in Satin. In fact, Billie loved this album herself. Most jazz fans consider Lady in Satin to be Billie Holiday's last great achievement.
  The album was included in the book "1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die".
  This is Billie Holiday's penultimate album and the last to be released during her lifetime. On the one hand the album has some flaws, on the other hand it is a timeless document of a wonderful singer.
  The recording made it into the Grammy Hall Of Fame in 2000, probably because it was a very emotional reflection of the early heroin-addicted singer's work at the time.
