What I’m Doin’ for Love! The Sensational Libby Holman by L.E. McCullough stars Lisa Bansavage as the
flamboyant yet flawed Broadway singer, heiress and social activist whose fairy-tale life was marred by
a series of mysterious deaths including her own alleged suicide in 1971. Confidant of Mongtomery Clift,
Martin Luther King, Jr., Josephine Baker and scores of 20th-century cultural icons, What I’m Doin’
for Love! is the story of a woman who succeeded beyond her wildest dreams, then spent the rest of her
life atoning for it.

What I’m Doin’ for Love (Jack Yellen / Milton Ager)
Recorded by Libby Holman, Brunswick Records, 1929
The world may think I’m wrong
But I’ll just go along
I’m doin’ what I’m doin’ for love
Who cares what others say
I’ll be the one who’ll pay
For doin’ what I’m doin’ for love
I gave up all I had
But I’m glad
I did it for you
Though I know after years
They bring tears
But what can I do?
I have broken many laws
But heaven will forgive me cause
I’m doin’ what I’m doin’ for love
