From Booklist

Among the legends of American popular music, Carmichael, composer of such standards as "Star Dust" and "Skylark," is not getting his due, argues the author, who intends to rectify this injustice. The result is a thorough and engaging profile of the great American composer and performer. Sudhalter recounts Carmichael's humble beginnings in Indiana, his rejection of a legal career to take a risk in show business, and his subsequent success in New York and Hollywood. For all his legendary success, Carmichael was not above human temptations and failings. Beautiful women were a weakness, and his first marriage dissolved in part because of an affair with the English actress Jean Simmons. And despite his overwhelming material success, Carmichael could never leave his hardscrabble upbringing behind, and he developed a reputation for stinginess, one that influenced his conservative politics, often putting him at odds with the liberal Hollywood circle he frequented. Sudhalter also offers a clearly written musicological analysis of his compositions, revealing the influence of his former band mate and tragic alter ego, Bix Beiderbecke. Ted Leventhal

From Library Journal

Jazz trumpeter and author Sudhalter (Lost Chords) admirably fills a gap in the literature on American popular music with this biography of songwriter and performer Carmichael (1899-1981), whose own had been the only readily available sources of information. Chronicled here are Carmichael's personal life and musical development, from his early years at Indiana University through his time in Florida, New York City, Hollywood, and later Palm Springs, CA. Probably best remembered for writing popular songs (e.g., "Star Dust," "Heart and Soul"), he also played piano and sang, acted in movies, hosted television revues, composed serious music ("Johnny Appleseed Suite"), and painted with varying degrees of success. Sudhalter's entertaining yet straightforward style propels the narrative forward, and the musical examples are a plus. The exhaustive research, including interviews with Carmichael's relatives and colleagues, makes this essential for all popular music, American culture, or Indiana collections. (Photographs not seen.)

Sudhalter does it again 19. September 2002
Von Rick Kennedy - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
We owe Richard Sudhalter for preserving the often-forgotten history of America's early jazz pioneers and composers. His subjects are white musicians, but he doesn't write about them with a nasty political agenda. He just doesn't want their contributions to be forgotten. Along the way, he pays warm tribute to the black musicians who led the musical revolution. Unfortunately, politically-charged reviewers refuse to see this.
I especially love this Sudhalter work. Sadly, Hoagy is becoming a forgotten genius of American song. Duke Ellington once called him America's greatest songwriter, and Sudhalter goes a long way in providing the evidence to such a claim. I especially enjoyed the focus on Hoagy's home state of Indiana, which was an amazing hotbed for jazz in the 1920s. One should take this book and drive around Bloomington, Indiana, and find all of the haunts described in rich detail by Sudhalter. Then go to Indianapolis, and Richmond, Indiana. Sudhalter really did us all a huge favor in providing such a wonderful document.

Accurate, well written 6. Juli 2002
Von chris dant - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
My father, Bud Dant, is prominently featured in this book, as a man who helped Hoagy write down Stardust and I grew up hearing about the stories and now here they all are in a book...not just a book, but what I know is an extremely accurate and real account of Hoagy's life...the writing is terrific and Richard's obvious love of the music and times shows in his accounts...I know for a fact he researched this material exhaustively...it shows! It pretty much dwarfs all other books on Hoagy.

AN EXTRAORDINARILY TALENTED SONGSMITH 25. April 2002
Von Brady L. Buchanan - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Whatta life! From poverty to great wealth based on musical talent of creating songs as well as a wonderful actor. He had many highlights writing songs and acting but after rock & roll took over the musical scene his talents went for nothing as no youth were interested.

Mr. Sudhalter covers Hoagy's entire life and an interesting one it was. The writing in many places is of a "text book" nature, but the content of relating Hoagy's life puts the reader in the center of life as it existed in the 20's through the 60's. Apparently Hoagy's type of music is gone forever which is a loss without question. New generations continue on and what was usually stays behind as merely history.
