Also included are songs, which Billie wrote herself, like: "Fine And Mellow", "Don't Explain", "God Bless The Child", and "Lady Sings The Blues" and was the film title in which Diana Ross portrayed Billie Holiday. Mr. DuVall will be the piano accompanist for this performance in which the singer's story and career is followed from her rise to fame, drug addiction and death in 1959 at the age of 44.
