Publisher's Synopsis
This is the story of the little girl with the magnificent voice from Savannah, Georgie who sang out to America with the Big Bands of Harry James and Tommy Dorsey. For two years Connie Haines and Frank Sinatra, who won the title Best Boy and Girl Singer of the era, sang shoulder to shoulder on stages across America, singing: Let's Get Away from It All; Snootie Little Cutie; and Oh, Look At Me Now. With a foreword by her friend and singing companion Jane Russell, and comments by Frankie Laine and Rhonda Fleming, you are transported back to the 1940s and '50s, Big Band Era. With over 50 wonderful, original photos you will relive her days with the Big Bands and the Abbott and Costello tours and with 'Les Girls' Jane, Beryl Davis, and Rhonda Fleming. As Jane Russell says, "I'm sure you'll enjoy learning more about this honourable, faithful, fun-loving, talented, crystal Chandelier-loving Southern Belle.". Richard Grudens brings you this heart-warming story of one of America's best-loved vocalists who still performs today. He provides you with that special insight into her life.
