"Lady Day" had one final burst of glory in late 1957 when she sang "Fine and Mellow" on The Sound of Jazz telecast while joined by Lester Young, Ben Webster, Coleman Hawkins, Gerry Mulligan and Roy Eldridge, but the end was near.
"The blues to me is like
being very sad, very sick,
on church, being very happy
there's two kinds of blues:
happy blues and the sad blues
I don't think I ever sing it twice
I don't think I ever sing the same tempos
sometimes a bit slower,
next time a little bit brighter,
depends on how I feel.
I don't know…
blues is so a mixed thing to me…
One has to feel it!
Anything I do sing it's part of my life!"
