Essential - Billie Holiday - Vinyl LP Record (Arrives in 20 days)

The live recordings included here
are among the very best from Billie
Holiday’s final years. Part of the
motivation behind the 1956 Carnegie
Hall concert was to promote Billie’s
autobiography, Lady Sings the Blues.
The music was attuned entirely to
Billie’s character part, reinforced by
readings from her book by Gilbert
Millstein. Although recorded in 1956,
the LP was issued in 1961, nearly two
years after Billie’s passing on July 17,
1959, at the age of 44.
