Autobiografie van Billie Holiday (1915-1959) uit 1956. Met een nieuwe discografie van Vincent Pelote. Van de flaptekst: ‘In a memoir that is as poignant, lyrical and dramatic as her legendary performances, Billie Holiday tells her own story. […] a turbulent adolescence in Harlem during the 1920’s […] working in New York City’s famous jazz clubs […] and her own dazzling rise to the top. The darker side of the Holiday legend is here too: the men who exploited her, the racial prejudice she encountered and her harrowing struggle with heroin addiction.
