- Description
- Aside from the introduction by Blackburn, most of the book is taken up with transcribed interviews from men and women who knew Billie at different times in her life. Pimps from Baltimore who encountered her as a teenage prostitute: various musicians who accompanied her at different points of her career: a woman who worked as her assistant: her lawyer: the narcotics agent, a black man who feels remorse because he was also a fan and knew that there was injustice in her arrest and harassment. Of course everyone has their own slant on Billie, but what is so strong about this collection of memoirs is that the sum total of it all feels like a genuine portrait.

- 'Women singers' conjures up immediately an image of opera divas. But the thought that this is the only arena is far from the truth. The first professional female singers in modern history seem to be the well-educated women of the upper middle class or minor nobility who appeared in the late years of the sixteenth century at the courts of Ferrara, Mantua, Florence, hired to sing in the concerti delle donne, the consorts of ladies.

- Description
- Stephen Bourne is one of Britain's leading authorities on black history. In this biography he portraits the American born Elisabeth (Lis) Welch (1904-2003) as one of the most popular singers working in Britain. Born of mixed parentage, she also was a trailblazer for black women in Britain in the 1930s and 1940s. The emphasis of the book is on her work. In 1923 she launched the Charleston, and throughout the Jazz Age she was associated with some of the great names of the Harlem Renaissance. Her career in English musical theatre lasted sixty years. Later in life, she appeared in Derek Jarman´s 1979 film version of Shakespeares ´The Tempest´. Includes a list of performances and appearances in the media, and a discography.

- Description
- Bereits zu Lebzeiten war Maria Theresia Paradis (1759-1824) eine berühmte Pianistin, Komponistin und Sängerin. In frühester Kindheit erhielt das hochbegabte, im Alter von drei Jahren erblindete Mädchen eine profunde Musikausbildung. Schon mit ihren ersten öffentlichen Auftritten in Wien erwarb sie sich die Gunst des Publikums, insbesondere der Kaiserin Maria Theresia. Doch auch in anderen Städten feierte sie während einer dreijährigen Konzertreise durch Europa große Erfolge. Nach ihrer Rückkehr trat sie überwiegend als Komponistin hervor. Mit einem eigens für sie konstruierten Notensetzbrett konnte sie ihre Werke - Kantaten, Lieder, Klavierkonzerte, Kammermusik und Opern - komponieren. Im Jahre 1808 gründete sie eine Musikschule für junge Frauen - ein Novum in damaliger Zeit. Darüber hinaus setzte sie, die einen äußerst aufsehenerregenden, doch erfolglosen Heilungsversuch des Arztes und Magnetiseurs Franz Anton Mesmer erdulden musste, sich nachdrücklich für die Erziehung und Bildung von Blinden ein.
