Biography

Edit

Anita O'Day, American jazz singer, was born in 1919. She pushed the envelope, wearing coats and skirts instead of evening gowns, becoming a hip female musician.

She was born Anita Belle Colton, and renamed herself O'Day, pig latin for "dough" or money. She also earned the nickname "The Jezebel of Jazz" due to her ongoing problems with heroin and alcohol addiction and erratic behavior.
