Good Morning Heartache is a jazz and blues standard written by Irene Higginbotham, Ervin Drake, and Dan Fisher. It was originally recorded by Billie Holiday in 1946 and released as a Decca single with No Good Man as the B-side, the track running 3:05. The New York City session on January 22, 1946 featured Bill Stegmeyer and his Orchestra, and Holiday’s expressive vocal delivery helped it become a jazz classic about waking up to heartbreak. The song was later revived by Diana Ross for the 1972 film Lady Sings the Blues, released as a single and charting on the R&B and pop lists.
