Synopsis
Born in 1915 to young teenage parents, Billie Holiday opens her autobiography with revelations about the shocking treatment she experienced in childhood before recalling how, on the brink of homelessness, she tried her luck at singing for money – stunning her audience; earning enough money for the rent, ‘a whole chicken and some baked beans’; and setting herself on a path to stardom.

Lady Sings the Blues
Seller: Bill & Ben Books, Faringdon, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. 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. Seller Inventory # 0098351
