1939

YESTERDAYS * BILLIE HOLIDAY * COLUMBIA 10009 * UK

Billie Holiday first recorded this profoundly moving Soulful ballad in 1939, it was released along with three other tracks on this Columbia EP in 1953. The song is timeless and becomes ever more relevant, and possibly, poignant as the listener ages, though it's hard to imagine, given her life story just when Billie Holiday's 'golden yesterdays' were.
