"Gloomy Sunday
with shadows I spend it all
my heart and I
have decided to end it all."

It is time to take another trip in the music time machine going back to the year 1941 when Billie Holiday recorded this song for the first time.

Back then this song was banned by BBC as being detrimental to wartime morale; one may find it hard to believe that the ban was not lifted until 2002.

Billie Holiday – Gloomy Sunday is found on the record “Billie Holiday Vol. 3” released in 1954.
