About This Song
About "I'll Get By (As Long As I Have You) (with Teddy Wilson & His Orchestra) (Take 1)" by Billie Holiday
Take 1 of 'I'll Get By' finds Holiday buoyant, almost playful, despite the song's dependent plea. Teddy Wilson's orchestra swings with a light touch, and Billie's phrasing is a masterclass in understated hope. The tension lies in the gap between the lyric's need and her cool delivery.
