About this title: In this paean to legendary jazz singer Billie Holiday, author Farah Jasmine Griffin attempts to debunk the myths that swirl around Holiday's alleged history. In doing so, she challenges the previously published works of other biographers, including William Dufty who claims to have helped Holiday write her autobiography, LADY SINGS THE BLUES.
