Haygood writes with such headlong energy as well as novelistic insight and compassion about this tortured song-and-dance man. -- Christopher Silvester, Sunday Times 1 August 2004
One of the best, and sometimes one of the saddest, show-business biographies I have ever read. [A] sad, illuminating book. -- Charles Spencer, Sunday Telegraph, 15 August 2004
