1	Unforgettable (1991) more music like this by Dinah Washington Her greatest (or at least most influential) single track, plus six bonus cuts and much better sound than 1963 original. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $5.00! new only from $13.78!
2	Lady Day: The Best of Billie Holiday (2001) more music like this by Billie Holiday Forget for a moment that The Best of Lady Day: The Best of Billie Holiday was tied into the release of the superb box set, Lady Day: The Complete Billie Holiday on Columbia, thereby offering a bit of advertisement to the full-fledged set. That doesn't matter -- even if there was never a box set, this would have been a welcome addition to Billie ... see all copies from $11.40! new only from $19.53!
3	Love Songs [Columbia Portrait Cover] (1996) more music like this by Billie Holiday Billie Holiday sang plenty of love songs throughout her career, yet it still seems a little odd to have a Holiday collection entitled Love Songs, mainly because her love songs were never quite so simple. And that's part of the problem here -- Holiday's art may be too rich for audiences who just want a collection of love songs like this. It's ... see all copies from $5.99! new only from $9.04!
4	Greatest Hits [Columbia/Legacy] (1998) more music like this by Billie Holiday There's something scandalous about the fact that this 13-song CD is, as of spring 2000, the only upgrade to date of Columbia Records' holdings on Billie Holiday. It's good as far as it goes, as part of Sony Music's 20-bit remastering of the highlights of its jazz catalog, but it makes one wonder how long listeners have to wait for the nine volumes ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $6.94!
5	Greatest Hits [MCA] (1995) more music like this by Billie Holiday GRP's Greatest Hits is not designed for collectors or serious fans, as it will likely frustrate them. Casual fans, however, and the curious will be well served by this 19-track collection of highlights from Billie Holiday's Decca recordings, featuring such songs as "Easy Living," "Solitude," "God Bless the Child," "T'Ain't Nobody's Bizness if I Do ... see all copies from $8.15! new only from $9.92!
6	Swingin' Miss 'D' (1998) more music like this by Dinah Washington see all copies from $11.82! new only from $13.71!
7	Songs That Got Us Through WW2, Vol. 2 (1994) more music like this by Various Artists Songs That Got Us Through WW2, Vol. 2 collects more early-'40s pop favorites like Dinah Shore's "You'd Be So Nice to Come Home To," Roy Rogers' "San Fernando Valley," and Johnny Mercer's "On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe." More overtly war-themed songs such as Buddy Johnson & His Orchestra's "When My Man Comes Home," Louis Jordan's "Ration ... see all copies from $12.85! new only from $16.23!
8	Love Letters from Ella (2007) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald Observing what would have been Ella Fitzgerald's 90th birthday, Concord and its Starbucks partner raided Concord's Pablo vaults and patched together this somewhat brief (40-minute) collection of outtakes and virtual collaborations, hoping for another synergetic success. Ella is in fine late-period (1973-1983) form (some shakiness in the later ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
9	What a Diff'rence a Day Makes! (1959) more music like this by Dinah Washington One of the more notorious albums in the history of vocal music, What a Diff'rence a Day Makes! is the lush session that bumped up Dinah Washington from the "Queen of the Blues" to a middle-of-the-road vocal wondress -- and subsequently disenfranchised quite a few jazz purists. Washington had been praised in the same breath as Holiday and ... see all copies from $4.00! new only from $15.43!
10	16 Most Requested Songs (1993) more music like this by Billie Holiday 16 Most Requested Songs is a mid-priced collection that spotlights many of Billie Holiday's best-known and most popular performances for Columbia Records, including "Body and Soul," "The Way You Look Tonight," and "Easy Living." 16 Most Requested Songs is far from a perfect retrospective of her total career, but it is a nice sampler of good ... see all copies from $4.95! new only from $9.99!
11 view cover	Dinah Jams (1954) more music like this by Dinah Washington Recorded at the start of Dinah Washington's climb to fame, 1954's Dinah Jams was taped live in front of a studio audience in Los Angeles. While Washington is in top form throughout, effortlessly working her powerful, blues-based voice on both ballads and swingers, the cast of star soloists almost steals the show. In addition to drummer Max Roach, ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $10.29!
12 view cover	Billie's Best (1992) more music like this by Billie Holiday There is no end in sight to the debate over Billie Holiday's career as a vocalist: Is the essence of her art to be found in her early recordings for Columbia or in the recordings she made for Verve at the end of her short and, by all accounts, miserable life? The early work finds her in clearer voice and singing with energy and conviction, while ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $9.92!
13 view cover	Billie's Blues [Blue Note] (1942) more music like this by Billie Holiday Most of this excellent CD features one of Billie Holiday's finest concert recordings of the 1950s. Recorded in Europe before an admiring audience, this enjoyable set finds Lady Day performing seven of her standards with her trio and joining in for jam session versions of "Billie's Blues" and "Lover Come Back to Me" with an all-star group starring ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.00!
14 view cover	Lady in Satin [Columbia 17 Track] (1958) more music like this by Billie Holiday This is the most controversial of all Billie Holiday records. Lady Day herself said that this session (which finds her accompanied by Ray Ellis' string orchestra) was her personal favorite, and many listeners have found her emotional versions of such songs as "I'm a Fool to Want You," "You Don't Know What Love Is," "Glad to Be Unhappy," and ... see all copies from $3.98! new only from $3.98!
15 view cover	Empty Bed Blues [Living Era] (1996) more music like this by Bessie Smith This collection of some of the best Bessie Smith recordings of 1927-1928 starts out quite happy with joyous versions of "Alexander's Ragtime Band," "After You've Gone," and "There'll Be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight," showing that Smith could turn anything into a blues. The mood darkens later in the program with such numbers as "Send Me to ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $13.50!
16 view cover	All or Nothing at All (1955) more music like this by Billie Holiday This two-disc set features some of Billie Holiday's top Verve performances from the mid-'50s. Over the course of 28 cuts, she runs the emotional gamut from summery optimism ("Love Is Here to Stay") to pathos-rich musings ("Ill Wind"). Befitting her perennial after-hours mood while at the label, the majority of songs here feature Holiday in a low ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $20.18!
17 view cover	My Funny Valentine: The Rodgers & Hart Songbook (1993) more music like this by Various Artists One of the choicest of Verve's many venerable songbook releases, My Funny Valentine spotlights some of the jazz canon's best moments in song; and how could it be otherwise, considering the program features the core of Rodgers & Hart's monumental song canon? That's why it's an all-star affair, with such singing royalty as Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah ... see all copies from $2.97! new only from $13.78!
18 view cover	Have Yourself a Jazzy Little Christmas [Verve] (1989) more music like this by Various Artists This 15-track CD has something for everyone: the smooth vocal styling of Billy Eckstine on "Christmas Eve," and the purring Dinah Washington on the seductive "Ole Santa," and Ella Fitzgerald showing her soft and sentimental side on the single, "The Secret of Christmas." Billie Holiday, with help from Benny Carter and Sweets Edison, warms up the ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $9.58!
19 view cover	Naughty, Bawdy and Blue (2007) more music like this by Maria Muldaur Maria Muldaur's trilogy of old-timey blues and jazz releases for the Stony Plain imprint (she simultaneously records more contemporary music for the Telarc label) concludes with this appropriately titled set. Much is made in the liner notes of the veteran jazz/blues/pop/gospel singer being mentored in her early jugband years by no less of an icon ... see all copies from $10.19! new only from $14.78!
20 view cover	Great Ladies of Jazz [Rebound] (1995) more music like this by Various Artists Though there are only 12 tracks on this collection, the selections are impeccable: two standards by Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan and Dinah Washington each, plus individual tracks by Lena Horne, Nina Simone, Abbey Lincoln and Shirley Horn. Keith Farley, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
21 view cover	Lady Sings the Blues (1956) more music like this by Billie Holiday Taken from a pair of sessions taped during 1955-1956, Lady Sings the Blues finds Holiday in top form and backed by the sympathetic likes of tenor saxophonist Paul Quinichette, trumpeters Charlie Shavers and Harry Edison, pianist Wynton Kelly, and guitarists Kenny Burrell and Barney Kessel. And while these autumnal sides bear some of the frayed ... see all copies from $7.78! new only from $10.99!
22 view cover	Dirty Blues (2000) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $8.71! new only from $11.68!
23 view cover	Forever Gold (1999) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
24 view cover	The Essential Dinah Washington: The Great Songs (1992) more music like this by Dinah Washington Dinah Washington recorded a stunning amount of material in her too-short career (when she died in Detroit in 1963 she was only 39 years old), most of it during her lengthy association with Mercury Records between 1948 and 1955, the era covered by this single-disc retrospective. Washington seemingly tackled everything under the sun in the recording ... see all copies from $6.13! new only from $11.60!
25 view cover	Great Ladies Sing the Blues (1995) more music like this by Various Artists Although only some of the featured artists on this budget-priced collection are blues singers in any strict sense, one thing's for certain -- they're all great ladies. Highlights include performances from Billie Holiday ("Good Morning Heartache"), Ella Fitzgerald ("Love for Sale"), Nina Simone ("Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out") and ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
