October 04, 2003: Kudos! The best book I have ever read on Billie Holiday, factual, consise well written. Most biographers have a hard time stepping out of themselves and their own illreveleant opions to be good but nichlson is great. A must read. And much better than that trash 'wishing on the moon' I reccomend anyone that is into Lady Day read this and enjoy. Its almost like being there!!!! I was floored, I read this in one day!!!
