Billie Holiday performs her song "Am I Blue?" at the Offbeat Club in Chicago in September 1939. The song expresses the sadness and loneliness of a woman whose romantic partner has left her, wondering if the tears in her eyes show how blue (sad) she feels. She questions if she only felt happy when she was with her love and now feels blue that he is gone and their relationship is over. The performance was photographed by Frank Driggs.
