Description
Lady In Satin is Billie Holiday’s haunting swan song—recorded just a year before her death, and steeped in emotional fragility and orchestral grandeur. Backed by Ray Ellis and His Orchestra, Holiday’s voice is weathered yet deeply expressive, turning every lyric into a lived experience. This Not Now Music reissue is pressed on 180g clear vinyl, housed in a standard sleeve with vintage artwork and a printed tracklist insert.

Often described as flawed yet transcendent, the album includes torch-song staples like I’m a Fool to Want You, You’ve Changed, and The End of a Love Affair. Inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame, it remains one of the most emotionally resonant recordings in jazz history.
