The inspirational tale of how Paul B Allen III went from singing in karaoke establishments, to become the lead singer of one of the greatest vocal groups of all time, The Platters (Only You; Smoke Gets in Your Eyes; The Great Pretender, etc.).
Paul was not allowed entry into his elementary school chorus because of his “tin ear,” so the trip from "reject' to lead vocalist was an incredible journey.
Paul shares that journey, as well as all the things he did, step by step, that led him to performing at venues like the world-famous Kennedy Center, backed by the National Symphony Orchestra, and his singing for the rich and famous all around the world, including performing for the Royal Family in London, Prince Albert in Monaco, and being invited to the White House to perform for the President of the United States of America.
This book is made up of two parts that are linked together by Paul’s real-life experiences in the music industry, as an internationally published songwriter and as the lead vocalist of The Platters.
Part One tells step by step how he did it (and how you can too), and Part Two tells what happened once he “arrived.” It is a truly fascinating account that can only be told by someone who has lived the life. And as you read, you’ll feel like you’re living it right alongside of him.
