Need Help finding this painting?

Question

It is a picture of a african american jazz singer and I thought that was the name. I saw it at a hobby store and didn't buy it and the artist is unknown. I thought the name said the jazz singer or something along those lines, but I can't find it anywhere and the painting is gone. It is a african american singer with her hair parted to the side and back in a bun. She is wearing a white- beige looking dress with a flower in her hair and singing into a old style lounge microphone. I may be off on a few details I just got a brief look at it, but I loved it and would like to find this painting again. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

The person in the pic might have been Josephine Baker. Can't tell you who the artist might be though.

Answer 2

This sounds like a picture of Billie Holiday. Try a Google Images search. Many images of her would fit your description!

Is this it?
