Billie Holiday
Billie Holiday was a servant girl growing up. She washed stoops of the people in her neighborhood. She had a sharp mind and figured she could make more money if she carried her own supplies. The money she got from this paid her family 's rent. One house she didn’t charge to wash because she heard music from the homograph while cleaning. She then got a singing career. Everyone she sang for was awed because she had her own way of singing. Her mom died and she started to take drugs. She stopped drugs for a while, but then she started again, and died because if it. *Homograph:An early 1900's record player Duke Ellington Louis Armstrong All That Jazz Home
