Biography.com Documentary on Billie Holiday

Posted about 1 year ago

Today has been a blow for all of us learning of the death of Bernie Mac. But in my grief, I take his memory to heart which is to continue to learn and to share with all. I used to watch his show, The Bernie Mac, show on television. I loved the lessons he shared with his families. He always adressed the viewing audience saying, "America..."

That is how I feel when I blog but it is not Hello, America but hello to the world or hello to what I am witnessing.

While trying to find a documentary on Bernie Mac, I ended up finding a wonderful documentary on Billie Holiday on biography.com

I am someone who only knew her music but I did not know all that I learned through this documentary. It is an excellent look at her tragic life. I honestly did not half the things I learned though I was aware of her drug abuse the other things I did not know.

Enjoy!

    Thank you. I recently got to read a lot about her life and the waves of tragedy that flooded it. Never seen a documentary though, so this is much appreciated.
