Easy Living- Beautiful Billie Holiday tribute from Morgana King
In 1937, Ralph Ranger ( Composer ) and Leo Robin ( Lyricist) wrote this lovely ballad for a movie with the same title.
In 1979, 17,000 fans gathered at the Hollywood Bowl to hear 5 major female vocalists pay tribute to Billie Holiday.
Morgana King, a much admired but lesser known singer, provided a heart-breaking interpretation of Easy Living accompanied by a wonderful orchestral arrangement.
Incidentally, Morgana King also played the role of Marlon Brando's wife in The Godfather, in which she sang a risque Italian song during that iconic wedding ceremony.
