Review of Lady Sings the Blues (1972) by Luke G — 23 Mar 2012
Billie Holiday, a controversial yet iconic figure in music. The drug addicted star is played magnificently by the legendary Diana Ross. That is all you have to say to have me hooked on the film. It follows Billie's rise to stardom and the crowning achievement of her being the first African American woman to sing Carnegie Hall before her addiction to drugs worsened and her tragic death.
Truly a terrible loss, but a true talent in every sense of the world.
