From Publishers Weekly
The influential, uninhibited entertainer's life is traced from her turbulent Missouri childhood to her fame as a jazz singer and dancer. "This indispensable biography treats in full the two cultures--American and continental--that formed Baker, and sets a new standard for critical studies of performing artists," cheered PW.
