Synopsis
With her five-octave range, Kate Smith recorded more than 20 million-selling records though she never had a singing lesson and could not read music. But it was radio that truly made Smith one of the country's most popular entertainers in the 1930s and 1940s, particularly during World War II when she sold over $600 million in war bonds. Through detailed research, access to the singer's correspondence, and interviews with Smith and others, the author has told a remarkable story.
