About This Song
About "Reading From Lady Sings The Blues, Pt. 4 (Live At Carnegie Hall / 1956)" by Gilbert Millstein
A spoken-word interlude from Carnegie Hall, 1956: Gilbert Millstein reads Billie Holiday's memoir aloud, his voice a solemn incantation. The hush of the room becomes a séance, conjuring ghosts of Harlem and heartbreak. Calm narration trembles with the weight of a life lived too close to the bone.
