Hit Woman is the story of Susan Hamilton s wildly improbable life:
from early days as a child prodigy and actor, through heady success
on the concert stage, in the boardrooms of Madison Ave. and over
the talkback microphones of recording studios all over the world.
This personal and most intimate tale is spun in a voice that is
fresh, funnier than hell, and always unflinchingly candid even in
the face of heartbreaking tragedy and more than one wrenching
life/love setback.
The story covers a broad swath of the musical landscape: lessons
from the teenage Maestro James Levine in Aspen; encounters with
Mitch Leigh (Man of La Mancha) in his penthouse at the Warwick
Hotel; Sir Elton John in the bowels of Madison Square Garden; Chuck
Berry at his St. Louis studio (a hostage situation develops); a
wild night on the L.A. club scene with Glenn Frey, falling in love
with Nashville and its 'bad boys;' and a poignant session with
Marvin Gaye in London as well as the UFO's, alligators, cultists,
monkeys and witches that provide an ever-changing backdrop to a
story that never loses momentum
Also included: 11 pages of behind-the-scenes photos and a
complete index to the 400+ pages.
The funniest, truest book I have read about the music business.

everything and writes surpassingly well about all of it. Her deep

does she. Randy Newman
