Annotation |
Portrait of a musician who began her career as a jazz singer at sixteen and later crossed over to pop songs and Broadway music. Because Fitzgerald, who was outgoing in public but shy in private, did not cooperate with Nicholson, he relied on interviews with people who have known her for years. He examines her encounters with racism in America and her rise to international acclaim. Includes discography.
