Publisher Description

It is hard to imagine life without music. We hear it constantly on the radio, TV, through our computers and iPods. However, as each song tells a story, there is often an even more amazing story behind the life of the musician. This unique audio collection from the Amazing People Club explores the life stories of five amazing musicians and reveals their challenges and what inspired them to create the music they did.

Irving Berlin, writer of songs including God Bless America and There's No Business Like Show Business is considered as one of the greatest and most important American songwriters. Elvis Presley's life has been documented in books and film's; however, it comes alive in a very different way through this audio. Louis Armstrong was one of the world's most amazing voices, and his life was truly remarkable. Follow him on his journey from poverty-stricken circumstances in New Orleans to becoming one of the world's most celebrated musicians. The equally amazing careers of George Gershwin and Al Jolson are also celebrated in this unique collection.

Each story comes to life through BioViews®. BioViews® are short biographical stories, similar to interviews. These unique stories provide an easy way of learning about amazing people who made major contributions and changed our world.
