Kurzbeschreibung

This first in-depth directory to the life and career of Gordon MacRae pays tribute to a truly versatile entertainer. In an industry where success is rare and fleeting, MacRae achieved stardom in six show business arenas: film, theatre, radio, nightclubs and concerts, television, and records. Insights and quotes from celebrities close to MacRae highlight Bruce R.Leiby's reference to MacRae's professional accomplishments and honours, his political and charitable involvements, and his personal struggles and triumphs. The biography section traces Gordon MacRae's rise from child performer to award-winning star whose honours include Emmy nominations, gold and charted records, and a star on the Walk of Fame. On the personal side, Leiby writes about MacRae's triumph over alcoholism, his stroke, and the battle with cancer that claimed his life in 1986. Following the biography is a separate section on each of MacRae's media credits, listing his achievements in film, records, Broadway and stock theatre, television, nightclubs and concerts, and radio - including a completing Railroad Hour radio log. Where applicable, Leiby includes dates, places, production details, critical reviews, and information on where to find copies of MacRae's work today. Ending with an annotated bibliography, a song index, a title index, and a general index, this is a valuable reference for libraries and researchers, as well as fans and students of film, television, radio, theatre and music.

Excellent bio. & career review of this unparalleled talent. 8. Februar 1999
Von Ein Kunde - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Gordon MacRae was a talent not soon, if ever, to be equalled and Bruce Leiby has done a marvelous job of telling his story and documenting his career in this one-of-a kind book that encapsulates his life and career in an easy to follow format.

Mr. Leiby writes Gordon MacRae's biography without passing judgment on the man but in such a way that the reader learns more about the entertainer than was generally made public. While not available in bookstores, this work is a most helpful research tool for the serious student of Gordon MacRae and one this reader and fan has found invaluable in knowing & understanding one of the greatest entertainers of our time.

Not for the average reader looking for good reading. 27. Juni 2002
Von Kathryn J Poschke - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
If all you want is to write about how many songs Gordon MacRae has sung or what the names of the films are that he's been in, then this book is for you. However, if your looking for his story to be told with some emotion, or some of Gordons own remembrances,this is a waste of money.Written in a way that is dry as dust! Jumps from one subject to another so that you're left hanging. Terrible reading. Very few pages of his story, and all the rest is documentation.Not many photos.
WHAT A CAREER! 29. April 2012
Von Lenore C. Jacobs - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
The book begins with a factual account of Mr. MacRae's beginnings, gradual rise, successes, and eventual retirement from the entertainment industry. Gifted with probably the most magnificent and versatile baritone voice ever, Gordon MacRae made his mark in every performance media open for a singer from the 1940s - early 1980s: radio, band singer, movies, television, stage work, night clubs, and concerts. The book also provides comprehensive lists of Gordon's radio, movie, television, night club, and concert appearances; a listing of all his record recordings, and known sheet music that has his picture on the cover. The amount of work he did was astounding! It would have been wonderful if he had been able to write his own biography, but he passed away before he could tackle that project.
