He worked with several great bandleaders, including Benny Goodman and Tommy Dorsey, before beginning a solo career that vaulted him to Hollywood stardom. In 1944, he worked with Twentieth Century-Fox, headlining such hit musicals as Billy Rose's Diamond Horseshoe and State Fair.

Despite efforts in the 1970s, he never re-established success. This book uses over forty personal interviews with singers, musicians, composers, arrangers, and Haymes's family members. The author searches archival recordings of The Dick Haymes Show, films, recordings, music studies, and histories to present a full portrait of this complicated man. She chronicles Haymes's childhood, his rise in the 1940s, his decline into alcoholism, his multiple marriages--among them to such leading stars as Rita Hayworth and Joanne Dru--and divorces, and the minor resurgence of his career in Europe during the last years of his life.;
