( Synopsis )

​

The year is 1940.
I am about to sing my first solo in front of an audience.
I am 4 years old.
My Father is a fundamentalist Minister with a large congregation on the Northwest side of Chicago.
In a morning worship service, he stands me up on a stool and I sing my solo for the adoring congregation which erupts with applause and cheers when I finish my rendition of “God Bless America”.
And with that, I am hooked.
I want to be a singer.
Not a fighter pilot. Not a fireman.
Not even shortstop for my beloved Chicago Cubs.
A singer.
And I never look back.
This book is about how my dream came true.

70 years in show business have brought me some great memories of working with entertainment giants like… well the sub-title gives you some idea. I’m hoping for a Fall publication.
