Billie
By James ErskineSynopsis
Billie Holiday, one of the greatest voices of all time, was a black woman in a white man’s world, a victim, and a rebel whose infamous “Strange Fruit”, the first protest song, earned her powerful enemies. In the late 1960’s journalist Linda Lipnack Kuehl set out to write the definitive biography of the artist. She tape-recorded over 200 hours of interviews, with testimonies from Charles Mingus, Tony Bennett, Count Basie, her lovers, lawyers, pimps and even the FBI agents who arrested her. But Linda’s book was never finished, and the tapes never heard… until now.
