Billie Holiday - PLEASE, DON'T TALK ABOUT ME WHEN I'M GONE (Compact Jazz - Billie Holiday)
Please don't talk about me when I'm gone
Honey, though our friendship ceases from now on
And if you can't say anything uptight
It's better not to talk at all, is my advice
We're parting, you'll go your way, I'll go mine
I have just this to do
Give a little kiss and hope that it brings
Lots of love to you
Makes no difference how Jerry carries on (but I'll make it, baby!)
Please don't talk about me when I'm gone
Please don't talk about me, honey, when I'm gone
Though our friendship ceases from now on
And if you can't say anything real nice
You better not talk at all, is Jerry's advice
We're parting, you'll go your way, I'll go mine
I have just this to do
Here's a little kiss, I hope it brings
Lots and lots of love to you
Makes no difference how I carry on
Please don't talk about me
Please don't talk about me
Please don't talk about me
Please don't talk about me
Please don't talk about me
Please don't talk about me, honey
Please don't talk about me when I'm gone
Please Don't Talk About Me When I'm Gone (04:15)
A version of the popular song by the talented Billie Holiday that I couldn't find anywhere on
YouTube, much to my dismay.
Yes , yes and YES! GERSHWIN was the best ever... Billie was AMAZING

@gray70 Indeed it was. I just found this recording by chance since I gave it a try on the piano. This is by far the best version I've heard.

i love it as much as ella's interpretation; they both perceive it from such a different place. Both Billie, Ella and of course mr Gershwin are a true gift for our ears!!
