Billie Holiday Sings Detour Ahead, also Recorded by Joe Williams as arranged by Sun Ra

Going through some old vinyl and I came across this Billie Holiday album. Click here for a link to Detour Ahead:

The song Detour Ahead was also recorded by Joe Williams with the Red Saunders Orchestra in 1953 with Sun Ra doing the arrangements. There is a great CD release called "Joe Williams Sings". I highly recommend getting a copy of it. Try this link:

This version of Billie Holiday singing "Detour Ahead" is very sweet.
