4.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful look at the author's life!, April 24, 2000

By	James A. White (Cookeville, TN United States) - See all my reviews

Although many have heard about Rosemary Clooney and have probably listened to her songs, few really know much about her. I was one of those people. Not now!

This book is an intimate portrayal of her life as a person and as a singer. Both aspects are skillfully combined. Beginning with a dramatic point in her life, she uses an excellent transition to begin the biography. After her life story, she transcends back into the dramatic episode. There were many interesting facts about other celebrities of her day as well.

This book is great for anyone who loves her songs. After reading it, you feel a greater appreciation for the songs and will want to listen to them more than ever. This book only left me wanting one thing: to read her new autobiography which came out last year!
