I heard this for the first time last night.
I was mesmerized.
Apparently, Joaquรญn Rodrigo, who was blind, composed it in Paris in 1939. His wife was in labor -- for ten days. She lost the child. Every day, he would walk to the hospital to see her. When he would return home at night, he sat at the piano and wrote it.

Billie Holiday - For All We Know
From her penultimate album" Lady In Satin" -the last to be released in her lifetime.
[quote]Ray Ellis made his arrangements of the songs to match Holiday's voice. By the mid- to late-1950s, Holiday's voice had changed drastically due to years of alcohol and drug abuse, altering its texture and giving it a fragile, raspy sound. Despite her voice's condition, its distinctive edge had not been lost, and the style of phrasing that had made her a popular jazz singer remained at her command. Ray Ellis said of Holiday's voice:
[quote]I heard her voice [and] I dug it. I was in love with that voice and I was picturing a very evil, sensuous, sultry, very evil...probably one of the most evil voices I've heard in my life...Evil is earthy to me. When you say someone is evil, it means very, very bad. I don't mean bad.
