Here's a sweet but sad clip of Billie Holiday from February 1959. It's one of her last performances--possibly her last TV appearance, according to the comments at YouTube. She died just a few months later. She's in pretty bad shape here, but she still does an incredible job with the song.

It's heart-achingly sad...such a hard life too.
Thanks for uploading the clip, M!
Yes, thanks for the clip!
Wonder who that fabulous band is. It ain't the Count, but it's mighty good.
I've watched this three more times since I put it up. Love it!
I saw your question, Bozo--Blogger is just being very slow today, it seems. By the way, the original uploader at YouTube says it's the Peter Knight Orchestra.
