'Lady Day' was just one of the best jazz singers the globe ever before listened to. In 1971, journalist Linda Lipnack Kuehl set out to write the clear-cut bio of Billie Holiday. Prior to her mystical death in 1978, Lipnack Kuehl had actually taped over 200 hours of meetings. The tapes have actually never been heard. Now they form the basis of an atmospheric, multi-layered docudrama that captures the many complicated aspects of a happy black lady, violent druggie, loyal buddy, ruthless lover as well as unforgettable vocalist of 'God Bless The Kid', 'Saddest Tale' and also the haunting 'Weird Fruit'.
