1.Becoming Billie HolidayBecoming Billie Holiday
from Wordsong
Price: $13.57

Customer Review:
Wowie, wow, wow. This little beauty just leapt to the top of my wish list. I've had my eye on Carole Boston Weatherford ever since she wrote Moses: When Harriet Tubman Led Her People to Freedom (Caldecott Honor Book), but as far as I'm concerned she's topped it with Becoming Billie Holiday.

2.Wishing on the Moon: The Life and Times of Billie HolidayWishing on the Moon: The Life and Times of Billie Holiday
from Penguin (Non-Classics)

Customer Review:
I approached this book hoping that it would educate me and be an interesting read. I have already seen the movie about her life and read Lady Sings The Blues, so I was hoping for a more in depth look at the lady. To be truthful, this book is not up to that challenge and throws little new light upon... more info

3.Lady Sings the Blues the 50th Anniversary Edition (Harlem Moon Classics)Lady Sings the Blues the 50th Anniversary Edition (Harlem Moon Classics)
from Harlem Moon
Price: $10.85

Customer Review:
Nice reissue of the 1956 original. Billie was and still is an American jazz icon. For me the CD stuck in the back of the book was a wonderful bonus. 16 year old Renee Olstead singing "Good Morning Heartache" just blows me away! She has the potential to become another great jazz icon!

from Da Capo Press
Price: $16.38

Customer Review:
This was the best Bio I have read on Billie. Previous Bios never were clear on how many times she was married. Actually she was only married twice. There was also quite a bit of detail on her growing up in Baltimore. I always thought that Billie was from the Pennsylvania Ave. section of West... more info

7.Lady Day: The Many Faces of Billie HolidayLady Day: The Many Faces of Billie Holiday
from Da Capo Press
Price: $18.00

Customer Review:
The reason this book is so powerful is the perfect
melding of photographs and text.

The author's rich, empathetic text makes plain Billie
Holiday's genius as an artist and, unlike some of the
so-called biographies of her life, don't simplify her to
the point of caricature.

Customer Review:
How was lynching ever respectable? Why did nightclub owners discourage Billie Holiday from singing this protest song against the murder of innocent Blacks? How did this powerful, somber song become Time Magazine's Best Song of the Century?

David Margolick traces the history of Strange Fruit from a... more info
