Book Description
As Bing Crosby once put it, Tiny Tim represents 'one of the most phenomenal success stories in show business'. In 1968, after years of playing dive bars and lesbian cabarets on the Greenwich Village scene, rubbing shoulders with the likes of Bob Dylan and Lenny Bruce, the forty-something falsetto-voiced, ukulele-playing Tiny Tim landed a recording contract with Sinatra's Reprise label and an appearance on NBC's Laugh-In. The resulting album, God Bless Tiny Tim, and its single, 'Tip-toe Thru' The Tulips With Me', catapulted him to the highest levels of fame. Soon, Tiny was playing to huge audiences in the USA and Europe, while his marriage to the seventeen-year-old 'Miss' Vicki was broadcast on The Tonight Show in front of an audience of fifty million. Before long, however, his star began to fade. Miss Vicki left him, his earnings evaporated, and the mainstream turned its back on him. He would spend the rest of his life trying to revive his career, with many of those attempts taking a turn toward the absurd. But while he is often characterized as an oddball curio, Tiny Tim was a master interpreter and student of early American popular song, and his story is one of Shakespearean tragedy framed around a bizarre yet loveable public persona. Here, drawing on dozens of new interviews, never-before-seen diaries, and years of original research, author Justin Martell brings that story to life with the first serious biography of one of the most fascinating yet misunderstood figures in popular music.

In the Eagle's Shadow
Author: Kyle Longley
Publisher: Wiley-Blackwell
ISBN: 9780882952710
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 378
Book Description
All too often undergraduate readers can find themselves overwhelmed by foreign relations textbooks, the onslaught of names, events, and resultant policies and counterpolicies leaving them unable to form an appreciation, much less a working knowledge of, international relations. Worse yet, loose references to prominent scholars can leave them scratching their heads. It is with the student in mind that we are proud to present the second edition of our popular text, a concise narrative history that in straightforward language relates the long and complex history of the relationships between the United States and the nations of Latin America. Like its predecessor, this new editon of In the Eagle’s Shadowis ideal for use as a core text for courses in U.S-Latin American relations, as well as engaging supplementary reading for the U.S. or Latin American history surveys.
