From the very first pages, the reader embarks on a journey and the author sails you through photographs and information that will absolutely delight any fan of the hugely successful television series Singalong Jubibee. It is one of those books that is a masterpiece and any fan of the CBC show will be thrilled. It's great to read about very famous Anne Murray and others. The book tells us where the performers are today -- and if they are living or dead. I can't recommend this book high enough. No wonder it seems to be out of print on Amazon already.

I stumbled upon this book at a shop on the waterfront in Halifax over the Christmas holiday, and promptly bought all the copies they had! I was very excited to see it, because my parents worked on the show. The photos are fantastic and the interviews interesting. My only issue is that there are several pictures of my father with the wrong name listed! Otherwise, very impressive and well worth the purchase, expecially since that oversight probably matters most only to me. LOL!

Sing A Long Jubilee was one of the best Musical Canadian Television shows of our time, it was a disappointment that it went off the air, but while it was on it gave dozens of singers an opportunity to show their talents on air. The book gives you a glimse into the past, and the singers that graced the Canadian Stage at a time when Canada wasn't popular. If it wasn't for Singalong Jubilee then we would never have known the greatest Canadian Singers like Gene MacLallan, Anne Murray, and dozens of others. Thank God for Singalong Jubilee, because of this show we would never have known what Canada Music was all about. Buy the book - buy a piece of Canadian Musical History.
