Book Reviews of It Wasn't All Velvet
Book Review: A legend tells his tale in his own articulate voice
Summary: 5 Stars
Mel Torme was an incredible man and talent. His accomplishments in show business are staggering and this book is a wonderful insightful read. If you dig Tony Bennett or idolize Sinatra, read about a guy who puts them both to shame (almost none can-except Mel!)He is a legend and although he passed away June 1999 his star still glitters. The only problem with this book is that he wrote it too soon, there is more to tell 1988-1999 that happened after its printing. Mel sang and worked brilliantly until the end....no decline for him. I highly recommend this book...you will not only respect Mel's accomplishments but like him as a person after reading it.
