Nobody has mentioned Billie Holiday's Gloomy Sunday?
It's the English version of the notorious 1933 "Hungarian Suicide Song" which supposedly led hundreds of people to kill themselves. That turned out to be an epic urban legend, but the song is so sad it's believable. The English version here added a Hollywood ending so it wouldn't be quite as depressing. But Billie Holiday's voice is still as mournful as it gets.
