A Great Yiddish singer and Cantor

It is a great book of how a traditional Jewish Opera Tenor made it in the Opera world. it is a warm and revealing story of a great man on his way to the top of his singing career. it also tells of his relationship with the Lubavitch Chassidim which started in The Berekely Chabad House Where he met and befriended his Chabad conection Chaim Drizin.

Excellent source of info on Jan Peerce's career

This is a great book for learning about the life and career of one of the greatest tenors of the twentieth century. The book describes Jan Peerce's beginnings from his youth through his old age. There are many interesting and humorous stories in this book, including the story of how he got his stage name (Jan Peerce wasn't his original name). I highly recommend this book.
