This book is a personal journey behind the scenes into the world of music- makers who created the film scores, television music, sound recordings, commercials and concert evenings over the last sixty years. It's about a long singing career that began in 1960 with concert tours - Ray Conniff, Nat King Cole, and later, solo work in concert with Burt Bacharach - to thirty years of vocals and main titles for The Simpsons, vocals for Family Guy...vocals on hundreds of film & television scores & sound recordings, plus twenty-two years as Choral Director for the Oscars. It's also the personal story of growing up in a "his, hers and theirs" family in the forties and fifties, and how a shy little girl became a second-generation singer in the ever-evolving music business of Hollywood.
