Billie Holiday - Billie Holiday - Lady Sings The Blues

Facts Lady Sings the Blues is the inimitable autobiography of one of the greatest icons of the twentieth century. Billie Holiday, born to a single mother in 1915 Baltimore, had her first run-in with the law at the age of 13. But Billie Holiday is no victim.

Her memoir tells the story of her life spent in jazz, smoky Harlem clubs, and packed-out concert halls. It delves into her love affairs, her wildly creative friends, her struggles with addiction, and her adventures in love. Billie Holiday is a wise and aphoristic guide to the story of her unforgettable life.

"I've been told that no one sings the word 'hunger' like I do. Or the word 'love'." - Billie Holiday
