Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums of All Time - Rated 317/500!
Lady in Satin is an album by jazz singer Billie Holiday released in 1958 on Columbia Records. It is the penultimate album completed by the singer and last released in her lifetime. The album was produced by Irving Townsend, and engineered by Fred Plaut. After years of Noman Graz's Clef/Norgran/Verve group of labels, and impressed by arrangements Billie Holiday had heard by Ray Ellis, she cut this album for Columbia. The results are a very smooth, velvety set of tunes that go down like a twelve year old single-malt Scotch."...still an incredible singer. The feeling and tension she manages to put into almost every track set this album as one of her finest achievements." -allmusic.com
