Billie Holiday’s 1944 song “Lover Man (Oh Where Can You Be?)” was written for her and became one of her signature tracks. Friends Roger Ramirez and Jimmy Davis penned it about longing for love. Holiday’s 1945 recording reached the Top Ten and was later inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. An interesting footnote: jazz legend Charlie Parker recorded a famously ruined, intoxicated version of “Lover Man” in 1946, highlighting the song’s emotional power.
