Through Shirley's Eyes
Author: Brinda Sue Robinson

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 139
Book Description
Who I Am My name is Shirley, I am the eldest of three sisters, the daughter of Alec and Clara, and the first grand-baby of Julia. I am not a woman given to long, deep, conversations-- rather long, deep thoughts. I was brought up in the South in the 1940s, during a time when black folks were still referred to as colored and white men roamed the countryside in pointy, white hats. Destiny Some say life is a simple string of coincidences tied together by insignificance, no more than random shifting, a leaf floating on lifes current having no destination or determination; but, I am persuaded otherwise. I believe that God, the Creator of the universe, has a plan for your life-- just like He had for mine!

Miss Shirley Bassey
Author: John L. Williams
Publisher: Quercus
ISBN: 1623652596
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 396
Book Description
From "Hot from Harlem" to "Goldfinger," the story of how a two-bit jazz singer from Cardiff became an immortal icon: In 1954, Shirley Bassey was seventeen years old. She had just returned from a cheesy revue tour called "Hot from Harlem." Depressed, disillusioned and four months' pregnant, she decided that her dream of being a professional singer was over. A mere ten years later, she was one of the biggest stars in the world. She had sold more records than any other British singer of the day, and was poised to conquer America. Her latest hit, "Goldfinger," was the theme tune to the year's blockbuster film. No longer the two-bit jazz singer from Cardiff, she was by now an international sex siren, as glamorous and unreal as Bond himself. Miss Shirley Bassey explores this remarkable transformation, both of an individual and of the British society and British psyche that made it possible. From the vibrant, multicultural oasis of Tiger Bay in the Cardiff docklands through the club-lands of Soho and Las Vegas to New York's Carnegie Hall, it is a journey from mere mortal to international icon. Along the way she would encounter homosexual husbands, predatory managers, newspaper scandals, and a range of friends and acquaintances from Sammy Davis Jr. to Reggie Kray. John L. Williams draws on original research and interviews to provide a portrait of a young woman on the cusp of stardom, whose rise to fame was in many ways symbolic of a changing world. Brilliantly written non-fiction in the style of David Peace's The Damned Utd or Nick Tosches' Dino, this is the story of a woman who set out to be extraordinary and--against all the odds--succeeded.

An Island Garden
Author: Celia Thaxter
Publisher: Applewood Books
ISBN: 1429014296
Category : Gardening
Languages : en
Pages : 146
Book Description
Celia Laighton Thaxter (1835-1894) was born in Portsmouth, NH. When she was four, her father became the lighthouse keeper on White Island in the Isles of Shoals. After resigning his post eight years later, he built a resort hotel on Appledore Island in Maine. The first of its kind on the New England coast, the hotel became a gathering place for writers and artists during the latter half of the 19th century. In her last year of life, Celia published this work, in which she lovingly describes her Appledore garden and its flowers. The flowers she grew in her cutting garden filled her own rooms and those of the hotel, and this work became famous for its descriptions of the old-fashioned flowers she grew there. Her island garden, a plot that measured 15 feet square, has been re-created and is open to visitors.
