Jack Lawrence wrote songs that launched the careers of at least a dozen top show business stars, as for example, Frank Sinatra (All Or Nothing At All) and Dinah Shore (Yes, My Darling Daughter). Here, Lawrence describes his Jewish upbringing, the discovery that he is gay, as well as his personal and professional relationships with the top performers of his era. He writes with humour, nostalgia and a candour not often found in memoirs. In addition to his narrative, the book is enriched with Lawrence lyrics and the stories behind their creation.
