ALL OR NOTHING AT ALL for me is my quinesential lady day album

ive loved this album since i discovered it on vinyl back in 88-i used to drink black nescafe,smoke marlbro and listen to this joint with my friend sarah thinking we was sophisticated

great memories and a sublime work of art

i love this album with a passion and it always seem a shame with artists of this magnitude that many of their complete album works are very difficult if not impossible to find

the artwork is fantstic too

My sister has this album as well and she absolutely love it. She is a huge Billie Holiday fan.

Billie Holiday ALL OR NOTHING AT ALL lyrics
Jack Lawrence / Arthur Altman
All or nothing at all
Half love never appealled to me
If your heart never could yield to me
Then I'd rather have nothing at all
All or nothing at all
If it's love there is no in between
Why begin, then cry for something that might have been
No, I rather have nothing at all
But, please, don't bring your lips so close to my cheek
Don't smile or I'll be lost beyond recall
The kiss in your eyes, the touch of your hand makes me weak
And my heart may grow dizzy and fall
And if I fell under the spell of your call
I would be caught in the undertow
So, you see, I've got to say
No, no
All or nothing at all


Billie Holiday ALL OR NOTHING AT ALL lyrics

No , but I am going to see her tomorrow so I will ask her can I listen to it.

This is my FAVE album from her...



Her delivery in there strucks like bullet. All you have to do is listen to I'm A Fool For You and then wait for the tears to run down profusely.

I will definitely listen to it. Thank you.
