Singers: a collection of short stories

language (Hippo Books Nov. 1, 2018)
It's not easy to become a famous singer. You need a combination of talent, ambition, charisma and, of course, lots of luck!

In this fascinating collection of short stories, you will read about how Stevie Wonder became a child star and mastered many different musical instruments, despite being blind from birth; how Elvis Presley, far from being an overnight star, had to work long and hard on his way to the top; and how two teenagers from Liverpool, John Lennon and Paul McCartney, almost didn't agree to play on the same stage. You will also learn how Psy finally made it big with his huge hit Gangnam Style; how B.B. King almost lost everything on his road to fame; and how Sixto Rodriguez came back from the dead to become one of the biggest-selling stars in South Africa today.

We hope that these stories of real-life success through hard work and commitment will inspire and entertain you.
