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," "Lover Man (Oh Where Can You Be)" and "Crazy He Calls Me." It's not an ideal collection, and it doesn't contain all of her great performances for Decca, but it's a nice sampler that makes for an effective introduction to this era. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
