CRITIC REVIEW:

“There is a wealth of detail in this book: all quotations and reproductions of pictures and text are properly annotated and the writing is that of an ardent enthusiast rather than an academic….This book is an undoubted labour of love and certainly deserves a warm welcome as the first major English language account of an important and influential singer.”
