They've been in love all the years they've worked together, making musical pictures at Hollywood's grandest studio, but will they ever be able to merge their lives without scandal? Follow America's Singing Sweethearts into an impassioned wartime what-might-have-been, as they handle separations, collaborations and accusations on their way to their own happy ending.

For young Kay, growing up in middle class America during World War II is a confusing and sometimes painful experience. Her stepmother, Amazing Grace, is a selfish woman who takes her unhappiness out on those around her. And for a little girl so concerned with pleasing others and doing the honorable thing, life with Amazing Grace is nearly unbearable. But Kay is also a believer. She’s determined to “keep smiling through,” as the song says, knowing that one day she will do something extraordinary. “A bittersweet historical novel.”—Kirkus Reviews

"The first book to trace the recording careers of the great entertainers: singers, comics, actors and actresses, vocal groups, show-business personalities."--Jacket.

In recent years sheet music collectors have become increasingly interested in the sheet music published in the United Kingdom. British publishers are prolific in issuing the sheet music for their country's films and often publish many more songs for American films released in Britain than their American counterparts. For the first time ever, all sheet music published in the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia from 1919 through 1994 can be found in this comprehensive reference work. Each of the over 2,450 entries includes the title of the film exactly as it appears on the sheet music cover, studio, date of the film's release, main stars, the song title, composers and lyricists, publisher, and a brief description of the cover. Song and composer indexes are provided for further utility.

Compiled from the author s own enormous collection and years of research, this book lists approximately 6,200 films and the music that was a part of them. Each entry gives the movie title, studio, year of release, stars, songs sung during the film (over 15,000 throughout the book), composers and/or lyricists, and a brief description of the album cover. This book is a necessity for sheet music collectors, musicians, historians and the general public who are interested in a greater knowledge of film music."

First published in 1974, this illustrated book spotlights film romances, year by year, from 1932 to 1973. Selected movies include 1939's "Wuthering Heights", 1942's "Now, Voyager", 1957's "The Barretts of Wimpole Street", 1966's "Madame X", and 1970's "Love Story."

From the pre-Gilbert and Sullivan 1860s to the 1980s, this important reference surveys more than a century of British light musical theatre, including its writers and composers. Ganzl provides a wealth of information on the book, lyrics, and music of over 800 London musicals, including contemporary reviews, cast lists, performances, plus pertinent notes gleaned from a study of surviving scores and libretti. Volume 1 traces the development of the genre between 1865 and 1914, describing its roots in burlesque and opera-buffe, and discussing the comic opera tradition and the Gilbert and Sullivan partnership, the flowering of the so-called musical comedy under George Edwardes, and the important influence of the British musical theatre around the world, particularly in America. Volume 2 covers, among other topics, the reciprocal influences on the British musical theatre of the American style, the advent of the dance-and-laughter musicals of the 1930s, the rock operas of the 1970s, and the subsequent development of the modern British musical in its second period of international prominence, highlighted by such hits as Evita and Cats."
