There are so many incredible singers that this past century has produced and unfortunately so many young kids today have never even heard of them. I hope this wonderful new book "Shout, Sister, Shout!" will become a part of as many school libraries as possible across this country. It will hopefully not only educate but also inspire the next century's group of great singers and entertainers.
