Must Read for Composers, Songwriters, and Creative Folks—Especially Theater Nerds

Fast-paced, fun biography of one of America’s greatest songwriters and musical theater creators. Learn about the ups and downs of creating material for major musical theater productions as well as eccentric individual stars (Frank Sinatra, Perry Como, Sammy Davis Jr.) Jule Styne was a mercurial and brilliant thinker whose musical output was enormous. So many of his songs became standards still widely sung today, not just in revivals of his musicals, but in Jazz and other musical mediums. If you are a creative type, you’ll be inspired by his story and the way he maintained near-constant output even with the many misses as well as hits he was a part of. If you love musical history, you’ll enjoy hearing about the making of hit shows (and later on, movies) like Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, Gypsy and Funny Girl. A fast-moving bio, fun and delightful to read.
