Yes, sans, I thoroughly enjoyed reading Szwed's book on Billie. As a
rule I read musicians and singers bios and auto-bios all year round and
for some artists I'll read every take I come across. Billie, Coltrane, Louie, Miles and James Brown are all in that club for me. The recent bio
of James Brown did something most authors overlooked, actually
going to the people who knew JB personaly. Novel idea or what?....
