In 1971, journalist Linda Lipnack Kuehl set out to write the definitive biography of Billie Holiday. Over eight years, she tracked down and tape-recorded more than 200 hours of interviews with the extraordinary characters that populated the iconic singer's short, tumultuous life. However, Kuehl’s book was never finished and the tapes never heard—until now.
