All of me - Billie Holiday



I listened to this song for the first time on the movie "Lady Sings the Blues" when I was 10 years old. Diana Ross as Billie Holiday sung this song on audition scene in this movie.

The following video is the trailer of the movie though the scene is not contained.



Though I have the OST (2LP set) in my record archives, forgetting the contents.

I think she is not good as Lady Day because she is too thin and spritzy i.e. different type of singer. Of course Diana herself is a good singer for common listeners.
