Jonathan Schwartz on Paying Tribute to Billie Holiday

This month marks the centennial anniversary of a legendary singer, Billie Holiday. Here at the Jonathan Channel, we have been doing our best to pay tribute. But, who would we be if we didn't hear a few words from our host.

Each year in a tribute to Holiday, Jonathan Schwartz reads a passage which he believes to be one of the better things written about Lady Day. Here he is, reading from the novel Sleepless Nights written by Elizabeth Hardwick.
