The gravestone of jazz singer and songwriter Billie Holiday is viewed March 25, 2015 at Saint Raymond's Cemetery in New York. Billie Holiday died with just $50 to her name taped to her thigh, but on the 100th anniversary of her birth the jazz legend is enjoying a renaissance as a trailblazer for generations of singers. Holiday was broken down by heroin use, police harassment and a husband who would beat her so severely she would tape her ribs before concerts. But ahead of the centennial of her birth on April 7, a more complete picture of Holiday is emerging as artists acknowledge her foibles yet hail her not only for her ineffable voice but for her dignified stance against racism.
