When eighteen-year-old Billie Holiday stepped into Columbia studios in November of 1933 to record ?Riffin? the Scotch? and ?Your Mother?s Son-in-Law?, it marked the beginning of what is arguably the most remarkable and important career in twentieth-century popular music. Today, Billie Holiday is an icon ? an artist whose voice has weathered countless shifts in public taste, and whose impact on contemporary music is unquestionable. This biography concentrates on the artist, her music and her uncanny voice.
