This study recounts the dramatic stories of three cabaret artistes, Rosemary Clooney, Barbara Cook and Julie Wilson. Following these artistes through the 1993-94 performing season, the author brings to life the cabaret scene, the intimacy of smoke-filled clubs, but also the realism of their working lives. The book follows their careers through stardom and success at an early age, mental and physical breakdowns and family troubles, and the struggle to rebuild their lives and careers.
Following Clooney, Cook, and Wilson through the ups and downs of the 1993-94 performing season, Winer brings to life the world of nightclub singing in the 1990s: the rebirth of the cabaret form, the reasons why it is still an impossible way to earn a living, and the magic that makes people keep trying. 15 photos. Octavo in dustjacket. Flap not clipped. Quarter bound: black cloth spine with gold lettering. Raspberry red paper covered boards. Tanned end pages Complete number line. Clean, sound, unmarked interiors. [247 pp.]
