    All Music Guide Review

    American Capitol or British EMI usually issues excellent torch-song anthologies, since it holds in its vault a fount of great material. Lady Sings the Blues expands the template of jazz-driven torch songs to embrace soul and '60s pop as well, thus its success at presenting a compilation with depth and variety. Along with the usual nuggets of torch-song pop -- "Fever" by Peggy Lee, "Cry Me a River" by Julie London, "Black Coffee" and "Stormy Weather" by Sarah Vaughan, "Trav'lin' Light" by Billie Holiday -- Lady Sings the Blues also includes many well-chosen performances from soul artists, including Bettye Swann ("Tell It Like It Is"), Aretha Franklin ("Today I Sing the Blues"), Betty Lavette ("Let Me Down Easy"), and Tina Turner ("Night Time Is the Right Time"). ~ John Bush, All Music Guide
