The Encyclopedia of the History of Broadway, Hollywood, Swing, and Pop Singers, and Vocal Musical Arrangers [Paperback] Review

Harvy Sheldon has an obvious love for music, comedy, show and style that literally jumps off of the pages.His insight's into stars like Judy Garland, Gene Kelly, Vaughn Monroe, Mel Torme and nearly 200 others is mind boggling. He made me smile ear to ear when he included my favorites "Dino" and The Mills Brothers...man could they swing.
When I read about the author I soon relalized the years he spent as leader of his own bandstand and meeting many of these "musical legends" personally, gave him an in-depth grasp of the artists lives and what they were about.That is what makes these stories not just the some old tabloid gossip... they are more...they sparkle!
I would like to have seen the names alphabetized for easier reference, but that is a selfish observation.My family and friends keep this on the table during an evening of fun to settle many trivia questions about the stars we all love.
Thanks Harvey, you brought it all together, in one book, a true "encyclopedia" of magical people from a magical time.
