Lawrence Schulman’s second book for BearManor Media includes all of his non-Garland writings, save three, between 2000 and 2024, on a whole host of other artists and authors, including Peggy Lee, Frank Sinatra, Mildred Bailey, Patsy Cline, Bernard Herrmann, among others. With a Foreword by Tish Oney, author of Peggy Lee: A Century of Song and Jazz Singing: A Guide to Pedagogy and Performance, and an Afterword by Manuel Betancourt, author of The Male Gazed: On Hunks, Heartthrobs, and What Pop Culture Taught Me About (Desiring) Men and 33 1/3: Judy Garland's Judy at Carnegie Hall, the book offers a panoply of reviews, articles, and liner notes about some of the greatest popular musical figures of the 20th century. The 47-chapter book displays Schulman’s vast knowledge of the Great American Songbook and beyond, such as his ground-breaking reviews and articles on singer-songwriters Tim Buckley and Peter Allen.

“I am happy to see your life's work in a master compilation like this.”
— REX REED, movie reviewer for Vogue, GQ, The New York Times, The Daily News, The New York Post, Women's Wear Daily, and The Observer, actor in the films Myra Breckinridge, Superman, Inchon, and Irreconcilable Differences, and Grammy nominee for his liner notes to the LP Judy. London. 1969.

“Lawrence Schulman is a critic, biographer, and music historian par excellence. He peerlessly writes the whole picture of these artists: capturing both the forest and the trees, resulting in the whole story coming into vivid resolution. Few writers can aspire to his depth of knowledge within this era of popular singers… An extraordinary book.”
— CHRISTOPHER C. KING, a Grammy-winning producer, musicologist, and prominent 78-rpm record-collector, Editor of the ARSC Journal, and author of Lament from Epirus: An Odyssey into Europe's Oldest Surviving Folk Music
