Billie Holiday with Eddie Heywood and His Orchestra
Embraceable You
From the counter
George wrote the music, but the words on "Embraceable You" came from Ira, his brother, and the two of them share the credit on half the songs in this bin. Billie Holiday had it on record before George's own cut; play hers first and follow Ira.
