Publisher's Synopsis
This is the story of a beautiful young girl from Melbourne with an outstanding voice who is invited to tour Australia as a support act for Frank Sinatra in 1959. At the age of eighteen she flew alone to the USA, where her childhood dreams of stardom came true when she made her debut at the famous Blue Angel Nightclub. Diana succeeded in popular music and then reinvented herself to carve out a new career as a successful country singer, touring the world and performing for fans in the USA, UK, Europe, Canada, Australia and Japan. But it was not all smooth sailing.
Diana was one of the first popular Australian singers to be successful in the USA and many others followed: Helen Reddy, Olivia Newton-John and in recent times Keith Urban. American audiences have fond memories of Diana's appearances on the television series Sing Along with Mitch then her hit songs on the Country Billboard charts, and her Australia fans will remember The Di Trask Show.
In this revealing book, Diana talks about her friendships and collaboration with superstars such as Frank Sinatra, Jack Benny, Bob Hope, Glen Campbell and many others, and relates her struggles to find success in music and love.
