What was it like to live the life of a vaudevillian in America? Before movies, radio, and the Great Depression transformed the entertainment world there was vaudeville. David Soren grew up as a featured performer on CBS and ABC television kiddie shows, in gangster-run nightclubs, and with crooked carnival grifters when he was not singing doo-wop on Philadelphia street corners. Here is a very personal take on the entertainment world that existed in America before the modern era. Interweaving American history, popular culture, and the story of American music, this book is intended for general audiences seeking to know about the entertainment form that influenced many of the shows we have today.
