Lady in Satin (Columbia CS-8048), recorded and released in 1958, marked Billie Holiday’s last big hit and her second to last album ever. It represents something close to her swan song.

Although some live recordings made after that Columbia album exist, and she even cut a second LP with Ray Ellis for MGM, none of these works were as enduring as Lady in Satin. Most jazz fans now consider Lady in Satin to be Holiday’s last great effort.

Holiday’s complete LP Stay With Me (Verve MGV-8302), recorded in 1955 but also issued in 1958, has been added as a bonus.
