Описание: Originally released by Doubleday in 1956, Harlem Moon Classics celebrates the publication with the fiftieth-anniversary edition of Billie Holiday's unforgettable and timeless memoir. Updated with photos and with an insightful introduction and a revised discography, both written by celebrated music writer David Ritz.

Lady Sings the Blues is the fiercely honest, no-holds-barred autobiography of Billie Holiday, the legendary jazz, swing, and standards singing sensation. Taking the reader on a fast-moving journey from Holiday's rough-and-tumble Baltimore childhood (where she ran errands at a whorehouse in exchange for the chance to listen to Louis Armstrong and Bessie Smith albums), to her emergence on Harlem's club scene, to sold-out performances with the Count Basie Orchestra and with Artie Shaw and his band, this revelatory memoir is notable for its trenchant observations on the racism that darkened Billie's life and the heroin addiction that ended it too soon. We are with her during the mesmerizing debut of "Strange Fruit"; with her as she rubs shoulders with the biggest movie stars and musicians of the day (Bob Hope, Lana Turner, Clark Gable, Benny Goodman, Lester Young, Coleman Hawkins, and more); and with her through the scrapes with Jim Crow, spats with Sarah Vaughan, ignominious jailings, and tragic decline. All of this is told in Holiday's tart, streetwise style and hip patois that makes it read as if it were written yesterday.

Описание: Overcoming a significant physical handicap is the theme for the true story of " The Amazing Blind Dog." Billie the Jack Russell Terrier had a great life after being adopted by a new family. She had a large yard to roam and play in, moles to dig for and lots of squirrels and deer to chase. But then, a sudden illness caused her to lose her vision. How would she adapt to not being able to see? Would she ever be able to run and jump and play again? Follow Billie on her journey as she overcomes two operations that take her sight and her incredible recovery as she re-learns everything she once knew to become "The Amazing Blind Dog." The story is a great way for families to discuss physical disabilities and how they can be overcome through persistence, effort, patience, and love. This story is true. It is about the life of a blind Jack Russell Terrier named Billie Rae, known to us as simply, "Billie." She came to Ohio from a Kentucky Horse Farm in 1998 to join our family. Billie was not always blind. Due to an optical condition that caused painful cataracts, Billie ended up having two operations that removed her eyes. There was no cure or other option. When her second eye became affected, several people asked if we were going to "put her down." The thought never entered our minds. Billie had dealt with the loss of her first eye just fine and remained an important part of our family. To lose her was unthinkable. Her incredible spirit and boundless energy brought tremendous joy to our lives. This book chronicles her life and the amazing way she dealt with her blindness. She was truly an inspiration to everyone that she met and her ability to adapt quickly and effortlessly to losing her eyesight never ceased to amaze us. It seemed like almost every day she did something astounding that was impossible for a blind dog.....but not for Billie. She lived for over 14 years, most of them totally blind.
