More than half a century after her death, Billie Holiday remains the most famous of all jazz singers. "Lady Day" - a nickname given to her by jazz saxophonist Lester Young - had an innovative, behind-the-beat phrasing that made her quite influential. This signed receipt for a $200 pay advance on September 22, 1958 is clean and crisp, with a rust mark from a paper-clip that doesn't affect the NRMT signature. It is one of the last times Holliday would affix her signature on anything as she would die less than 10 months later from cirrhosis of the liver due to heavy drinking. Her legacy lives on as one of the most exceptional talents in music history.
