Summary: Stars from beyond
Comment: I did enjoy this book and am glad I purchased it. It has been well researched and a lot of thought has gone into the text, although there are a few glaring omissions.

Rating: 5
Summary: The girls sing the greatest
Comment: This book is so readable and so filled with anecdotes and facts about the girl singers, the best of all time, those who sang with big bands and on recordings. There is everyone from Doris Day to Patti Page, even Teresa Brewer. An easy read too. All the girls were the best of the era. There is even Diana Krall that Grudens picks up on as a future best, and it has come true. He knows about all of them, mostly through personal interviews. The photos are simply wonderful. if you want to read about your favorites, Helen Forrest, Rosemary Clooney, Jo Stafford, Lynn Roberts, Connie Haines, and Lena Horne, get this book. There is also a tribute to Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald. The book is worth the price and is a timeless book for your collection.

Summary: Another great Big Band singer's book
Comment: The stories about the girl singers are so rarely written about. Interviews with Doris Day, Kitty Kallen, Rosemary Clooney, Jo Stafford, Teresa Brewer, Lynn Roberts, Diana Krall, Helen O'Connell, Connie Haines ( the best of them all) Helen Forrest, Peggy Lee and others are simply wonderful. I feel I now know them all. And the tribute to Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald is beautiful. There's even a nice story about Josephine Baker that I loved. Five stars for sure.
