Liner Note Author: Al Young. This ultra-romantic three-CD boxed set of songs for lovers showcases the widely differing vocal styles of three of the greatest singers in jazz. Billie Holiday's frail, regretful vocals lend special poignancy to songs like "Embraceable You" and "They Can't Take That Away from Me," while Sarah Vaughan's smooth tone warms "My One and Only Love" and the swinging "Make Someone Happy." Nina Simone's extraordinary delivery of "Wild Is the Wind" remains a wonder, while her soulful renditions of "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" and the gorgeous "Black Is the Color of My True Love's Hair" epitomize love's passion and tenderness.
