This is the true story of a standout artist in the field of pop and
sentimental song; a star entertainer who rose to fame in Cape Town,
South Africa. The world reflected in this book has several
genealogical strands reaching back to other histories – to the
nineteenth century theatre, to the rise of racism in South Africa,
and the ways people were forced to negotiate the contradictions of
being human against impossible odds. We encounter a biographer with
a subject which is close to him, and which he has meticulously
researched over a course of time. The book offers insights into the
musical world of the phonograph, of the global popular culture
after the Second World War and how this was absorbed into Cape
Town’s popular culture.
