Aprašymas

Out of My Father’s Shadow is a depiction of the stormy relationship between my father and me. My dad was a singer and actor, and although he never made it in the United States, he DID make it big in France and became a superstar in 1949, thanks mostly to his love affair with Edith Piaf. He soon purchased an estate outside of Paris where he entertained international celebrities on weekends. When I turned 11, he and I recorded a duet that became a hit single and sold two million records on the Barclay label. The song’s title was The Man and the Child (L’homme et l’enfant) that had been sung by Frankie Laine and Jimmy Boyd in the US. It’s kind of ironic that the song was about love, because he and I had such a tumultuous relationship that at the age of 15 ½, I ran away from home with a 21 year old penniless Frenchman whom I later married and had two children with.
