Billie Holiday - Lady Sings the Blues

Journey through the life of a jazz legend in this unforgettable and timeless memoir. Follow Billie Holiday from her rough childhood in Baltimore, to her emergence on Harlem's club scene, and sold-out performances with the biggest names in music. Experience the highs and lows of her career, from mesmerizing debuts to ignominious jailings, along with her trenchant observations on the racism that darkened her life and the heroin addiction that ended it too soon. Written in Holiday's tart, streetwise style and hip patois, this memoir reads as if it were written yesterday.
