Sensitive and empathetic ... lovely details abound' Guardian

Shirley Bassey has shown that even a triply underprivileged black Welsh woman could make it to the giddy heights of showbiz. This is the story John L. Williams tells in a fascinating book: the way in which she negotiated herself into another world' Independent

Wildly entertaining. Someone should make a movie' The Times
