Heavyweight Champ Ezzard Charles? Swing King Artie Shaw? Butterfly McQueen? Hank Greenberg? Ricardo Cortez? Dick Haymes? Janet Gaynor and Charlie Farrell? Just as the strains of an old song have the power to transport us back in time, so the mention of a name, perhaps long forgotten, can take us back to another day, another place. In this second book based on his highly successful radio program, Richard Lamparski has again parted the fragile curtains of time to let us look into the cherished past. As in his first book, he has, with love and compassion, shown us another facet of what America was then, and therefore is now, and may yet be, thanks to 100 people - some beautiful, some not so beautiful, but all of them unique.
