I Cover the Waterfront - the Spirit of Billie Holiday
T1424011753
Billie Holiday had an eventful upbringing which greatly affected her adult life and career. Her parents married young and separated early. She was raped at the age of eight, became a prostitute in the 1930's and a hardened drug user in the 1940's. She died at the age of 44 and was arrested for drug possession as she lay dying. But to this day, she remains one of the all-time great jazz singers - join us to celebrate her life and her work.
