[Pre Order] Billie Holiday - Body and Soul - Verve Essential Vinyl Series LP *

Release Date: October 9, 2026

Lady Day's 1957 Verve session, in the Verve Essential Vinyl Series.

Billie Holiday's life and career ended far too soon in 1959 after a lifetime of personal struggles. But Lady Day's final works for Verve Records, including 1957's Body and Soul, showcase a voice that, despite some changes, lost none of its power to move audiences in much the same way as she did with her bold, early, expressive recordings. These late-career interpretations of favorites like "Embraceable You," "Let's Call the Whole Thing Off," "They Can't Take That Away from Me" and the heartfelt title track had a profound influence on generations of song interpreters — a brilliant keepsake of a voice that still resonates today.
