Review: I loved this book so much. Jerry Vale is truly one of the most gifted singers I have ever heard. What he sings come straight from the heart as did this beautifully written book. What is wonderful about Mr. Vale is his sincerity and honesty. I loved this book and would recommend it not only to his fans but to anyone who wants to read a book about a nice man, a nice family and a wonderful career.

Summary: Jerry Vale-A Singer's Life was a great experience.
Review: The story is true. Jerry contributed to it and approved every word. Dozens of interviews were conducted. The author traveled with Jerry on the road and toured with him at book signings. At concerts fans bought while Jerry signed books. They love him. His story is a wondrous adventure into the backstage area of show business and stars Sinatra, DiMaggio, Mantle, Durante, Goulet, Dean Martin, Jayne Mansfield and others. From life in the teeming streets of the 1940s Bronx until the great triumph for him at Carnegie Hal; and the inbetween rejections, panic, the big break and the heartbreak, it's all there illuminating and insightful without complaint or regret,a charming and refreshing glimpse of a sturdy and passionate, music-loving vital hitmaker, who, by the way, is still working at his craft. I may have written it, but, I still love it and it's subject, one of the best singers ever - Jerry Vale. Sorry, but I had to tell you all what great fun it was writing the book with Jerry Vale, his wife Rita and all the great characters who make up the book.
