Customer Reviews

The Good Honest Truth

Gloria Lynne was astoundingly forthcoming about her trials, personal and professional, which I appreciated. Too often memoirs are vague and less than honest. In I Wish You Love, Miss Lynne gives readers an honest accounting of the record business and the difficulties she faced in the industry. And among all of the hard subjects she tackled, this book is full of humorous anecdotes that add to its appeal. I highly recommend it. It was a truly enjoyable and insightful read.

For All You Jazz Lovers--PICK IT UP!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! It was just great. I'm telling everybody I know. If you're a Gloria Lynne fan, a jazz fan, a music lover or just a lover of good books--this one's for you. Pick it up!

An Inspiring Memoir

In terms of content, style, and language, this book ranks amongthe best. It has all of the flavor of '60s Harlem vernacular--jazzy,sexy and cool. It places in each time period, from the 30s to 90swith ease, and carries you on a terrific journey through the music world. I was particularly impressed with the style of the memoir, the timeline, the historical information, the personal stories--I heard Gloria Lynne's voice mixed with a wonderful literary style by the book's co-author. It was so refreshing to read an autobiography where you knew the two authors spent time together; too often these books are written from a distance and in the literary voice of the writer, and not the voice of the person's whose lifestory is being told. This was a great blend, a great match. Gloria Lynne's story deserves to be told. There is much we all can share, relate to, empathize with, love and understand.

This one's a winner.

I'm a huge Gloria Lynne fan and I was elated when I heard that she had a book out. Just as I expected, I really enjoyed reading her story. Kudos to Gloria and Karen for writing such a great book. P.S. Even if you've never heard of Gloria Lynne, you will enjoy reading her story.
