Farah Jasmine Griffin If You Can't Be Free, Be a Mystery - In Search of Billie Holliday
The Free Press 0-684-86808-3 / 9780684868080 Hard Cover
Singer, composer, actress, lover, wife, writer, pleasure seeker, drug addict, icon, commodity, myth and mystery: Billie Holiday is still one of the most famous jazz vocalists of all time. But Holiday's image - the gifted torch singer with insatiable appetites for food, sex, alcohol and drugs - is not the full story. Farah Jasmine Griffin's enchanting investigation of Holiday, her world and how she is remembered, at last fully liberates Lady Day from the tragic Songstress of myth.
