The Life of Dick Haymes: No More Little White Lies (Hollywood Legends Series)

avoid; a bunch of minutiae & we get NO INSIGHT into this genius singer

Poorly written book that reads like an Encyclopedia; nothing at all about how he got to be such a brilliant singer & the whole book is a mess + NO PICTURES!!!.

The greatest of his era.

The very best popular singer of his era who unfortunately led a sad life.

Odd Focus

I'm a fan of music from the forties, so I was interested to read this biography of Dick Haymes.

Sad kind of story about a washed-up, now unknown singer

I knew about Dick Haymes, but only because I've read a few biographies about Rita Hayworth, and he was one of her several husbands.

A cautionary tale well worth reading

Ruth Prigozy has done an admirable job in bringing Dick Haymes life story to light.

High school requisite

Many better biographies have been written over the years, but none more urgent than this.

"I Couldn't Put it Down"

Ruth Prigozy has written a balanced account of the life of a man who was tipped for mega stardom in his formative professional years but who through bad judgement and sometimes fate was destined to struggle for the rest of his life.

THE BEST OF HAYMES EVER

Ruth Prigozy writes a poignant biography of an otherwise neglected big band and beyond singer whose rich baritone rivaled Bing Crosby's.
