Description This is the extraordinary story of Billie Holiday told through anecdote and song, set in one of her faourite venues just four months before her pitiful death in 1959 at the age of 44. Jazz diva Joy Yates gives us profound insight into a life of anguish and humiliation, unlikely triumph and profane homour, on the journey from Holiday's tumultuous childhood to an ongoing battle with addiction.
