Bo Diddley had a cameo in the 1983 film Trading Places, where he haggles with Dan Aykroyd over a watch.

When Billie signed her last longterm contract with producer Norman Granz, he tried to repeat the small group magic of her early days. This album contains recordings taken from her 1952 sessions, and is an excellent sampler of her skills and charms. Backed by tight, laid-back session musicians, and with Oscar Peterson playing piano on many of the tracks, Holiday here enjoys the last full flush of her talents before health and substance abuse problems claimed her voice in the late '50s.
