Billie Holiday - I CAN'T GET STARTED (The Quintessential - Volume 6)
Ira Gershwin / Vernon Duke
Iv'e been around the world in a plane
Settled revolutions in Spain
The North Pole I have charted
But can't get started with you
And at the golf course I'm under par
Metro-Goldwyn wants me to star
I've got a house and a show place
But can't get no place with you
You're so supreme
The lyrics I write of you
Dream, dream, day and night of you
Scheme just for the sight of you
Baby but what good dose it do
I've been consulted by Franklin D.
Even Gabel had me to tea
But now I'm broken hearted
Can't get started with you
You're so supreme
The lyrics I write of you
Dream, dream, day and night of you
Scheme just for the sight of you
But what good does it do
I've been consulted by Franklin D.
Even Basic had me to tea
But now I'm broken hearted
Can't get started with you
Billie Holiday - I can't get started (02:51)
Billie Holiday With Lester Young & Teddy Wilson
@luckyshow Lucky , You`re right they were too stoned to get involved. There bigger concern was to cop junk after a gig but yet they played like no other.

these comments have nothing to do with music and from 1900 to at least 1950 is a lotta time for music top be written of course there are a lot of standards! Heroin and heroine a beautiful combo whether u like it or not foo you!
