From Small Screen to Vinyl

September 15, 2015
This unique reference covers, as noted in the title, television actors who also had success (to any degree) as recording artists. Radio-personality Leszczak has interviewed dozens of these celebrities, and nearly 200 of them are profiled in this AZ compilation, including Wayne Brady, Rory Calhoun, Lynda Carter, Regis Philbin, Telly Savalas, and Tina Yothers. The brief entries contain biographical information, trivia about the stars' television show(s), and details about the recording(s). Trivia hounds, television junkies, and music fans will get a kick out of this quirky volume, which is suitable for public and academic collections and could do well in the circulating stacks.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2015, American Library Association.)
