The renowned jazz singer Anita O'Day lived through both "high times and hard times, " a phrase that perfectly captures the essence of her autobiography. During the mid-1940s, O'Day gained fame as a vocalist with the Stan Kenton and Gene Krupa orchestras, and she released a series of acclaimed albums in the mid-50s. Despite her struggle with drug addiction, which hindered her path to super-stardom, she left an indelible mark on jazz with her remarkable improvisational range and masterful interpretation of lyrics.
