Body and Soul is a studio album made by jazz singer Billie Holiday, released in 1957.[2] In their 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."[3]
