Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The Singer's Singer is the highly-anticipated story of one of Britain's most iconic singers, the man who recorded the very first James Bond theme song ("From Russia with Love"), represented his country in Eurovision's Song Contest and Royal Command and recorded the international hits "Softly as I Leave You", "Born Free", "Walk Away" and "Portrait of My Love".
Tracing his life from a poverty stricken upbringing in post-war Britain through his steady rise to fame and detailing his battles with the highs and lows of the entertainment industry. This is the man behind the image, punctuated by encounters with some of the most famous names in the business.
