A terrific musical review, based on the lives and music of Billie Holliday and Dinah Washington. Wendy Gordon portrayed both singers, with Marvin Cockerell, the music director, on keyboards, Stanley Coleman on saxophone, Willem von Hombracht on bass and Bernard Long Jr., on drums. Billie Holliday always wore a large flower o the left side of her head when performing. The show explained that early in her career, before going on stage, Holliday burned the left side of her head with a curling iron. She covered it with a flower and it became a trademark.
