Though much has been written about the great songwriters of classic pop---Berlin, Porter, Gershwin, Sondheim--little has been written by the singers who made the music so famous. This work explores the fascinating lives of those singers and their influence on nthe development of one of the ost enduring music forms of the 20th century. The book is divided into two parts: the first describes the development of classic pop in the 1920s and 1930s; the second covers World War II to the 1990s. Covered are such unforgettable performers as Al Jolson, Louis Armstrong, Bing Crosby, Ethel Mreman, Billie Holiday, Judy Garland Nat "King" Cole, Ella Fitzgerald, Sinatra, Peggy Lee, Tont Bennett, Lena Horns, Streisand, Minelli, and more.
