Body and Soul is a studio album by jazz singer Billie Holiday, released in 1957.[4]
In its 1957 review of the album, Saturday Review wrote:
"With changes in her voice which bring Miss Holiday's singing closer to recitative has come an occasional timidity about altering a melody where before there was boldness. But she remains one of the best jazz singers, not only for her unique sound and attack, but for her straightforward, honest, musical communication."[5]
