The book Lady Sings the Blue was so different from the movie featured decades ago. This book told her entire life story growing up in Baltimore. It explains the relationship with her mother; and the addictions she had that landed her in and out of jail.. I enjoyed the stories of her road trips. The author made you feel you were right there on the tour bus; and in the sleazy hotels. If you are a Billie Holiday fan; or a old blues fan; you will enjoy this book.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Was disappointed as I thought that I was getting a bookBy CustomerWas disappointed as I thought that I was getting a book..an autobiograpy of Billie Holidays life (my daughter wanted to use it for her research paper). Even the "look inside" showed written pages of a book. Instead; it was written music...piano and vocal. I went ahead and still gave it three stars because it is something we can still use. We are going to keep it because my daughter is a vocalist and would like to add some of her music to her repertoire; but it wasnt what we thought we were originally ordering.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Interesting ReadBy SoniaCI enjoyed this book. It was an interesting look at a pretty unique life. Billie Holiday was a pretty big personality and it comes through in her book.
