Billie
'Woman Day' was one of the greatest jazz singers the globe ever heard. In 1971, reporter Linda Lipnack Kuehl set out to create the definitive bio of Billie Vacation. Before her mysterious death in 1978, Lipnack Kuehl had taped over 200 hrs of meetings. The tapes have actually never been listened to. Currently they form the basis of an atmospheric, multi-layered documentary that catches the many complex elements of a proud black female, fierce drug abuser, loyal close friend, spiteful lover and also unforgettable singer of 'God Bless The Youngster', 'Saddest Tale' and the haunting 'Strange Fruit'.
