'Billie Holiday was - and is - a singer who stays in the mind of everyone who heard her. Like all jazz musicians, she sang about who she was at the moment and during all that preceded that moment. Julia Blackburn's With Billie tells Billie's own storie of that life, and this book becomes part of the music'
Nat Henhoff

'At last, a portrait of the artist and person called Billie Holiday. This extraordinary book completes her story.'
Mike Figgis
