About this title

Synopsis

Traces the life and career of the great jazz singer, including her imprisonment for heroin possession, her struggles against racial prejudice, and an analysis of her performances and recordings

Review

"[A] sensitive, perceptive biography. . . [Nicholson] successfully portrays both the genius and the tragedy of the legendary Lady Day." --Publishers Weekly "�A� sensitive, perceptive biography. . . �Nicholson� successfully portrays both the genius and the tragedy of the legendary Lady Day." --Publishers Weekly "A worthy complement and counterpoint to Holiday's own account." --Library Journal "With perhaps more success than any biographer so far, Nicholson illuminates complexities in [Holiday's] personality, her art, and her times that made the singer a phenomenon of American culture. As good as he is in biographical detail, his greatest contribution is perspective on the singer's creative process."--Doug Ramsey, JazzTimes
