Billie Holiday - Golden Greats
Review by vahab abdul
Golden Greats by Billie Holiday is a timeless masterpiece that showcases the legendary jazz singer's talent and versatility. The album features some of her most iconic hits, including "Lover Man," "God Bless the Child," and "Strange Fruit," each delivered with Holiday's signature soulful and emotive vocals.
The album is a perfect introduction to Holiday's music for those who are new to her work, as well as a must-have for die-hard fans. The tracks are arranged in a way that allows the listener to experience the breadth and depth of Holiday's artistry, from the hauntingly beautiful ballads to the upbeat and lively swing numbers.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Good Morning Heartache," which is a testament to Holiday's ability to convey raw emotion through her voice. Her rendition of the song is heart-wrenching and powerful, leaving a lasting impression on the listener.

Nohow
Love just goes so far
No more
Woke up this morining and found
I didn't care for you no more
Nohow
Never felt so good before
You're down to my size
It's over and done
So honey, step down from your throne
That look in your eyes
Don't bother me none
Can take or leave you alone
From my window
Skys ain't grey nomore
Not now
Here's the day
That I've been waiting for
Got only one heart
One heart with no spares
Must save it for loving
Somebody who cares
So you ain't gonna bother me
No more, no more
I don’t know why but I’m feeling so sad
I long to try something I never had
Never had no kissin’, oh, what I’ve been missin?
Lover man, oh where can you be?
The night is cold and I’m so all alone
I’d give my soul just to call you my own
Got a moon above me but no one to love me
Lover man, oh where can you be?
I’ve heard it said that the thrill of romance
Can be like a heavenly dream
I go to bed with a prayer that you’ll make love to me
Strange as it seems
Someday we’ll meet and you’ll dry all my tears
Then whisper sweet little things in my ears
Huggin' and a kissin', oh, what we’ve been missin'
Lover man, oh where can you be?
I’ve heard it said that the thrill of romance
Can be like a heavenly dream
I go to bed with a prayer that you’ll make love to me
Strange as it seems
Someday we’ll meet and you’ll dry all my tears
Then whisper sweet little things in my ears
Huggin' and a kissin', oh, what we’ve been missin'
Lover man, oh where can you be?
