From Library Journal:

The second edition of this useful reference book, first published in 1978 (LJ 9/15/78), adds 300 new entries and brings former entries up to date for a total of 1100 performers, as well as playwrights, composers, directors, and others affiliated with the performing arts. The entries include blacks both living and dead, and for the firt time, black musical groups as well as individuals are included. Using the same format as the first edition, this lists entries alphabetically, with a classified index by field of endeavor. Film, record, television, and theater credits, as well as other known facts, are noted in a cursory fashion. Despite the limited data, this is probably the most complete reference of its type for both current and past performers.
