zaralei 's review for:
Lady Sings the Blues
by Billie Holiday
“It was called ‘The United States of America versus Billie Holiday’. And that’s just the way it felt.”
Billie Holiday’s resilience in the face of virulent racism, addiction, and loss is unimaginable— and so plainly spelled out in her own words.
“I’ve been told that no one sings the word ‘hunger’ like I do. Or the word ‘love’. Maybe I remember what those words are all about”.
A true artist, Billie was a pained and beautiful soul.
