<p>No singer has been more mythologized and more misunderstood than jazz legend Billie Holiday who helped to create much of the mystique herself with her autobiography <i>Lady Sings the Blues</i>. This authentic biography sets the record straight. Donald Clarke was given unrivaled access to a treasure trove of interviews from the 1970s with those who knew Lady Day in all stages of her short tragic life—from her childhood in the streets and good-time houses of Baltimore through the early days of success in New York and the years of fame to her tragic decline and death at the age of forty-four. This biography separates fact from fiction to reveal the true Billie Holiday.</p>
