As Pluto once said, “…Books give a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything.” I found Meredith Coleman McGee’s Billie Holiday: Jazz Singer, a biography of Lady Day, to be an extraordinary and exceptional book which shares the incredible life of Billie Holiday. May the gardenias in the garden continue to bloom for the next generation of artists who have a passion for the arts and revolution.
