Billie Holiday - Prelude To A Kiss Lyrics

This is beautiful beyond words! My therapy 💕 Billie Holiday was something else

Unfortunately, you can hear that her voice was pretty well shot already by this time. All her best work was between 34 and 41.

The period I prefer in Billie Holiday's career is unfortunately the years 46-59.

I prefer the later Billie, despite the shot voice. No voice, but much more depth of interpretation.

What's this Genre called exactly?

jazz that they cant make like anymore

@Lisa Barnthouse it's possible, but there are no good singers, so they make jazz without vocals.

Boy! Do I love that saxophone

what a solo! Lester!

Ricardo . gracias por la música.

uma cantora extraordinária, cercada de músicos excelentes, uma melodia excepcional, uma letra excentrica

unglaublich.. noch immer ... so faszinierend...

If you hear a song in blue
Like a flower crying for the dew
Thst was my heart serenading you
My prelude to a kiss

And if you hear a song that grows
From my tender sentimental woes
That was my heart trying to compose
A prelude to a kiss

Though its just a simple melody
With nothing fancy, nothing much
You could turn it to a symphony,
A schubert tune with a Gershwin touch

Oh how my love song gently cries
For the tenderness within your eyes
My loves a prelude that never dies
A prelude to a kiss

(Interlude)

Though it's just a simple melody
With nothing fancy, nothing much
You could turn it to a symphony
A Schubert tune with a Gershwin touch

Oh how my love song gently cries
For the tenderness in your eyes
My love is a prelude that never dies
A prelude to a kiss

Thank you for the lyrics.

Maravilhosa voz!

esbanjando harmonia

Benny Carter! Get it, bro. If you play like this, you live to be over 100. : )

Que luxo, que voz, que banda, que ritmo,...
