Regarded as the most important documentary on the career of an unforgettable singer, this film attempts to unravel her vocal technique, with the help of fellow singer Carmen McRae, among others; the meanders of an ill- fated personal life dominated by addictions; and even some

stories from her famous autobiography Lady Sings the Blues. It also compiles much of the available performance

footage of the author of “God Bless the Child”.
