Singing was the easy part

Vic Damone with David Chanoff

"In Singing Was the Easy Part, Vic Damone tells the whole story of his life - and what a life it's been! A mob boss tried to throw him out the window of the Edison Hotel in New York City when he broke off an engagement to the boss's daughter. He was married to a string of glamorous women, including the beautiful Anna Pierangeli and the tempestuous Diahann Carroll. When he got to Hollywood, Judy Garland gave him his first screen test, he got drunk for the first time with Ava Gardner at Chasens, and he went golfing regularly with George Burns and Jack Benny. Oh yeah, there's also the story about how he took a nude chorus girl into the steam room of the Sands Hotel, where Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., and Dean Martin were relaxing between shows. All that - and much more - makes Singing Was the Easy Part a rollicking star-studded memoir from the great Vic Damone."--BOOK JACKET
