Guest garv Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 can anyone recommend a decent book on Billie holiday. Looking for recording history, stories from people that knew her & worked with her. Bit of an allrounder you might say. Not sure if in right section, please move if not. Thanks in advance Garv.

Not sure one book does all that Lady Sings The Blues probably most famous and think that may talk about her recoding history, long time since I read it. The best one for me is With Billie by Julia Blackburn, it tells her story through a series of interviews with people that knew her, most crtitics have said its the most rounded story about the real BH. I thought it was a fantastic read, really moving story of a hugely talented but troubled woman,
