The Centennial Collection [CD]

A great collection for any fan, a person looking to get into and/or simply want some have some of Billie Holliday's most well known music. Having another collection of music from 1935-1958, I noticed this Centennial version actually included some tracks that I had wanted to own. if you recently watched and were moved by The United States vs. Billie Holiday (2021), this is especially great to own, as it has many of the songs played in the movie. Given the decline of CD inventory across stores, when you find this gem, definitely pick it up.

If you appreciate blues, jazz, and pop from the 30's & '40's sung by a groundbreaking female artist, Billie Holiday is one of the most important icons from that era. She made an indelible mark on blues and jazz.

Billie Holiday packed quite a punch during her jazz run. This is truly an overall sterling collection from one of the greatest voices in jazz and also throughout the music catalog landscape.......

This is a great collection of songs; it is a great addition to your music library. I am satisfied with the choices and the fidelity of the recording. I recommend for the music lover to buy this one!

I PURCHASED THIS CD BECAUSE AS A LITTLE GIRL MY GRANDMOTHER WULD ALWAYS PLAY HER SONGS OVER AND OVER. SO I GREW UP ON ALL KIND OF MUSIC.

Billie Holiday is probably the most influential female singer in the past 100 years, particularly in the field of jazz. This collection shows just how unique she was when it comes to timing, phrasing, and interpreting the feeling of the music.

Although, the preference seems to have shifted for many listeners, I enjoy CD’s especially on long trips or I just have that need to here a specific artist. Here’s a wonderful collection that hits the mark!

I am regraded to purchased this CD. Its not good sound and I don't like this music.
