As a child, Anita had a tonsillectomy, during which her uvula was accidentally removed. The surgery prevents her from singing vibrato and holding long notes, but lends to her much-revered percussive style. Anita overcomes her vocal hurdle, as well as many others — including poverty, heroin addiction and jail time for a drug arrest — to become one of the most prolific and respected jazz vocalists of the 20th century.
