Cleo

Rating:
Summary: Cleo Laine honestly and warmly tells her story.
Review: Cleo takes us through her life from being an extra in "Thief of Bagdad" through many ups and downs, to grammy and tony nominations and awards. Her honest rendering brings us in contact with the world's greatest in music & the theatre. The humorous tales of taming her hair always brought me a chuckle. Mostly, she gives us a glimpse of someone who just loves to sing.

Summary: So charming...
Review: Obviously not ghost-written, this book is a portrait of a very charming lady who face life with a smile.Her way with words is clever and unpretentious, her stories funny and she consiously avoids telling about some darker moments, althought is sure she had to have them as she wasn't always so succesful as in later chapter of her career.Perhaps is just the way one is born, this woman is obviously optimistic and she desreves all the succes she got!
