By the time Donny Osmond's first solo single, 'Puppy Love', hit Number One in the summer of 1972, the 14-year-old was already a veteran of TV and Las Vegas. Part of the hit-making family The Osmonds, and famed for his duets with sister Marie, with whom he went on to make the hugely popular series The Donny & Marie Show, Donny Osmond was THE teen pin-up of the 1970s. But after punk, the clean-cut approach wasn't so popular, and record companies felt that there would be no interest in the grown man. In this revealingly honest memoir, Donny Osmond reveals how he kept faith, how he battled against a debilitating social phobia and made a hugely successful comeback, not just as a recording artist, but also as a star of stage in a record-breaking musical. He continues to tour regularly and remains hugely popular to his fans around the world. This book shows how he kept on going, and will be an inspirational read to all.

Napsáno podle tajného deníku Larryho Gellera, Elvisova přítele a důvěrníka. Jaký byl vlastně Elvis Presley ve svém soukromí? Larry Geller, který byl od roku 1964 až do Elvliovy smrti v roce 1977 nejen jeho kadeřníkem, ale zároveň i jeho důvěrníkem a rádcem, vedl si podrobné záznamy o jejich společných hovorech a o tom, co se kolem dělo. Elvis se nám v jeho podání jeví jako změť protikladů, a to snad také bylo součástí jeho mystiky. Ve své době ovlivnil miliony mladých lidí, ale přesto, byl symbolem revolty mládeže proti generaci jejich otců, sám byl v mnohém značně konzervativní a mimořádné citově vázán ke své matce, otci i babičce.
