I believe this is a Billie Holiday tune. Although I'm not a big fan of Holiday's voice, she was definitely a great in her genre. This is a song about love lost...and feeling blue. I still can't get the image of Eartha in her costume out of my mind. She was indeed special being that she was a black woman on a hit TV series aimed at children. I always admired her for that. Those were different times and some tough attitudes prevailed.
