Billie Holiday is known best for the depth of feeling in her singing, especially as it relates to melancholy and despair. The Saga compilation Blue Billie isolates the best of her '30s and '40s songs in that vein, and as such includes several of the landmark performances of her career: "Strange Fruit," "Billie's Blues," "My Man," "Fine and Mellow." As only one glimpse of the complete picture of Billie Holiday's talent, Blue Billie isn't a good stand-alone collection, but when paired with Saga's companion volume, Happy Billie, it forms a much better look at one of the best singers in American history.
