Colette Boky

La présente biographie relate une carrière riche, autant à l'opéra qu'au concert et en récital. Le lecteur pénètre dans les coulisses parfois mystérieuses des maisons d'opéra. Colette Boky nous entretient de ses relations avec ses collègues, de sa conception des principaux rôles qu'elle a incarnés, de ses prestations devant maints personnages célèbres. Mais, plus encore, ces pages tracent le portrait d'une femme résolue, fonceuse, au franc parler, qui ne craint pas de mettre sa réputation au service de causes qui lui tiennent à coeur.

Clay Eals

Intimate and touching, this biography captures the warmth and wit of Steve Goodman, one of the most respected songwriters of the 1970s and early 1980s. Diagnosed with leukemia at the age of 20, this portrait tells how Goodman strove to be a model husband and father while juggling experimental medical treatments with a career he found irresistible. Often strained for commercial success, Goodman found solace in performances for audiences from the tens to the tens of thousands. Drawing from more than 850 interviews—including those with family members, Jimmy Buffett, Steve Martin, Willie Nelson, Studs Terkel, Roger Ebert, and Carl Reiner—this book verifies the universality of his work, replete with Goodman’s themes on the fleeting nature of human existence. A 17-song tribute CD is included.

Wynonna Judd with Patsi Bale Cox

From the heart of one of the world's most beloved entertainers comes an engaging memoir of professional triumph, private heartbreak, and personal victory. From Wynonna Judd's beginnings as part of the celebrated, multiple-award-winning, platinum-selling duo with her mother Naomi to an equally triumphant solo career to the dramatic turning point that forced the country music superstar to reevaluate her life, her priorities, and her past, this is a memoir as dynamic as the woman herself-a story of survival, strength, family, and forgiveness.
