Over a fifty-year performing career, Billy Tipton fooled nearly everyone, including Duke Ellington and Norma Teagarden, five successive \"wives\" with whom Billy lived as a man, and three children who he \"fathered.\" As Billy Tipton herself said, \"Some people might think I'm a freak or a hermaphrodite. I'm not. I'm a normal person. This has been my choice.\" This jazz-era biography evokes the rich popular-music history of the Great Depression and reads like a detective story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Mariner Books","offers":[{"title":"Suits Me: The Double Life of Billy Tipton | Diane Wood Middlebrook | Paperback | 9780395957899 | Used: Very Good | Biography 1766856","offer_id":50734442053890,"sku":"1766856","price":26.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/71ZMhnVAWeL_4a118ee0-f1ee-4db9-aa0e-574b76adc5de.jpg?v=1791922793","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/suits-me-the-double-life-of-billy-tipton-1","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
