Author: Billie Holiday

Format: Paperback / softback

Number of Pages: 192


The bluesy, gutsy, no-holds-barred memoir of jazz legend Billie Holiday. 'I've been told that no one sings the word 'hunger' like I do. Or the word 'love'.' Lady Sings the Blues is the inimitable autobiography of one of the greatest icons of the twentieth century. Born to a single mother in 1915 Baltimore, Billie Holiday had her first run-in with the law at aged 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, 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.
