Review # 1 was written on 2007-12-10 00:00:00 Christopher Fish I knew zippo about Dick Haymes except that Ruth was crazy for him. For years she recited me the line from Philip Roth's THE HUMAN STAIN in which Haymes's voice is described as the epitome of Aristotelian catharsis. Then she sent me a CD and I was hooked. I devoured her bio of this neglected figure in about a day and a half while streaming Haymes selections on Rhapsody. The story is profoundly sad---numerous wives, alcoholism, fading celebrity. The nadir? Haymes's last screen appearance was in WON TON TON: THE DOG THAT SAVED HOLLYWOOD (1976). That's right: WON TON TON: THE DOG THAT SAVED HOLLYWOOD....

Review # 2 was written on 2010-05-27 00:00:00 Luke Stammers Even if you're not familiar with the latin music scene, you can't help but fall in love with Benny! His charm leaps off the pages. This book takes you to a Cuba long ago -- a time many look back on fondly.
