78 RPM RECORD  BILLIE HOLIDAY.  PORGY & MY MAN.  DECCA 24638.  RECORDED ON DECEMBER 10, 1948.  BILLIE IS ACCOMPANIED BY BOBBY TUCKER ON PIANO, MUNDELL LOWE ON GUITAR, JOHN LEVY AT THE BASS AND DENZIL BEST, DRUMS.  IN MY OPINION, "PORGY" IS THE FINEST VOCAL THAT BILLIE DID DURING THE LATE 1940'S.  HER VIOCE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND THE ACCOMPANIMENT BY BOBBY TUCKER'S GROUP IS PERFECT!  SUPER RECORDING QUALITY.  FEW VERSIONS OF THIS GERSHWIN CLASSIC FROM "PORGY AND BESS" COME CLOSE TO BILLIE'S.  RECORD IS IN "E" TO "E+" CONDITION AND THE STARTING BID IS $39.99.  PLEASE SEE MY OTHER ITEMS FOR MORE BY BILLIE HOLIDAY.
