This is a very rare Billie Holiday interview that hasn't been heard since it was given (presumably in the summer of 1956). In it, Holiday promotes her newest album for Clef (later Verve) Records titled "Velvet Mood" as well as her best selling autobiography "Lady Sings the Blues." The reason for the interview not airing was because the radio station feared that listeners would think that Holiday was drunk during the interview because of her slurred speech.
