The book
Lady Day: Body & Soul presents Billie Holiday as style icon and influence on countless generations of artists, singers, stylists, writers and fans, from the 1930s to present day. It is a large format, full-colour, lavishly illustrated and designed tribute to Lady Day, created in cooperation with the estate of Billie Holiday. Edited by Nichelle Gainer (Vintage Black Glamour) and with a foreword by Whoopi Goldberg, it includes contributions from among others Beverly Bond, Rebecca Ferguson, Laretta Houston, Corinne Bailey Rae, Nile Rodgers, and Billie’s goddaughter Lorraine Feather.
