Publisher's Synopsis
The Men Singers who are The Legendary Pop Crooners have numerous credentials that give them the status they so richly deserve. In this book, you will read in depth stories about their personal lives including fate and even some of the tragedies they had to endure. And of course, certainly their awards and accomplishments are a part of that. I will be talking with you about one of the things that I feel is so important in describing them. And that is, their sound. The immediate recognition you get when hearing their voice or as some would describe it as a commercial voice. It's the type that when you hear it on the radio or on a record, you think to yourself 'Hey isn't that Dean or Perry or The Everly Brothers, et cetera. Just as important as the hits is the ability of the singer to stay on course and make changes if necessary to continue heading upward. Many a celebrity will tell you that it's harder to stay on top of your game when you're famous. And you have to work harder when you are there than when you were working your way up. Sometimes fans do not realize that there is more to a celebrity's life than just the music. Many of them have family to take care of which can involve parents, spouses, children and extensions of that. If the singer is the main bread winner, then they have to adapt to that situation as well. Another topic is the artist's personality. I'd be willing to bet that for an artist like Dean Martin you would be able to guess what he's like just from what you have seen of him. I'll be sure to mention the story for you when we talk about it in Dean's section. Biographical books are really a history of the persons that they are about and there is much to be covered. I feel this book will give you a treasure trove of information. There is a small section on songwriters as surely singers would be lost in their journey if they did not have the ability to record some of the great songs that writers create. I only wish there was more time to include many more additional artists who deserve credit as Legendary Pop Singers.
