Remarks: | Unkown interview, recorded after the recording sessions of "Velvet Mood". Billie Holiday is announced as "mademoiselle" Billie Holiday. Thanks to Chieo Yamada for notifying. |
Note: | This is a very rare Billie Holiday interview that hasn't been heard since it was given (presumably in the summer of 1955). In it, Holiday promotes her newest album for Clef (later Verve) Records titled "Velvet Mood" as well as her best selling autobiography "Lady Sings the Blues." The reason for the interview not airing was because the radio station feared that listeners would think that Holiday was drunk during the interview because of her slurred speech. |
