Ep. 111-Lady Sings the Blues

Download the episode

Front Row Classics is celebrating the 50th anniversary of Lady Sings the Blues. Brandon and Eric are joined by Bea Bonner from NPR Illinois’ Community Voices. The hosts discuss Diana Ross’ Oscar nominated performance as the legendary Billie Holliday. The performances of Billy Dee Williams and Richard Pryor are also celebrated. Lady Sings the Blues is a heart wrenching, if not entirely accurate, biopic. We hope this episode will inspire a new generation to discover one of the most underrated films of the 1970s.

FEATURING: Brandon Davis, Eric Flick and Bea Bonner
