In her autobiography “Lady Sings the Blues” she mentions that she discovered at her father Clarence’s funeral she discovered that he’d been romancing a white woman (Billie calls her a “second step-mother”) who had bore him two children whom She’d brought to the funeral with her (A boy and a girl who Billie referred to as her half-siblings). The woman had not told the children Clarence was their father and she told Billie she was bringing the children up white (to which Billie thought unfair, that they should know the truth). No names were ever mentioned but if he woman at the funeral was truthful, then Billie definitely has blood siblings out there. It’s likely they grew up having NO idea of their connection with Lady Day so may never come into the public eye.
