Product Description

In this revealing autobiography, Canada’s first lady of song, for the first time, tells the whole story of her astonishing 40-year career in show biz. It is a candid retrospective of the extraordinary success achieved, and the prices that had to be paid.

“After ‘Snowbird’ hit, I was swept up like Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, and catapulted into a strange new universe … If I thought for a moment that I was really in control of events, I was deluded.” Anne Murray

An unflinching self-portrait of Canada’s first great female recording artist, All of Me documents the life of Anne Murray, from her humble origins in the tragedy-plagued coal-mining town of Springhill, Nova Scotia, to her arrival on the world stage. Anne recounts her story: the battles with her record companies over singles and albums; the struggle with drug- and alcohol-ridden band members; the terrible guilt and loneliness of being away from her two young children; her divorce from the man who helped launch her career, Bill Langstroth; and the deaths of two of her closest confidantes. The result is a must-read autobiography by Canada’s beloved songbird.


About the Author

Born and raised in Springhill, Nova Scotia, Anne Murray has enjoyed an unparalleled career, delighting millions with her signature voice and time-honoured songs. Over a four-decade-long career, she’s sold 54 million records, putting more than 30 pop hits, 50 country tunes and over 40 adult contemporary songs on the Billboard charts.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Tears in Paradise, Nov. 22 2009
Living in Sweden - so far away from Canada- news of Anne Murray have been non-existent for the past 30 years. But at least there were the LPs, the CDs- so her outstanding voice, at least, got here!!
Now the book!! - There are many examples of the hardships, of the sacrifices Anne had to endure- but through it all her wonderful sense of humour makes you smile. You feel sad,
humbled by what it cost her to bring us bliss,
amazed by the fact that her music, her performance never showed the turmoil she was in sometimes!!- ,
But then she makes you laugh again!
Just like her magical songs : They make you listen , you are nearly stunned by their beauty,then you realise you are grinning - her voice and performance do that to you!
And she treats every person with so much respect!! Other celebrities should read and learn!

This is a book I'll be re-reading soon.

Thank you, Anne, for sharing so much!

Your Sweedish fan, Honey

5.0étoiles sur 5 Good Book, Informative, A Pleasant Read..., Déc 1 2009
Par KarenFan (Ontario, Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
Judging the one review here of the frog from Quebec, it would seem as though Anne's biography and career are entirely pointless... Hardly. It's obvious this guy isn't even a fan, or why did he take the time to read the book in the first place? Those Quebec whiners never cease to amaze me...

Anyway, getting back on topic here.. The book traces Anne's upbringing in tragedy-plagued Springhill, Nova Scotia, her mediocre rise to fame joining the cast of Singalong Jubilee and finally her ultimate journey to the world stage. The book addresses the price one must pay for fame, and the dark sides of showbiz. The book also addresses the gay rumours, drug infested band members, her personal battles, her family struggles and ultimate divorce from a man many years her junior, her daughter's battle with anorexia, her relationship with Dusty Springfield, and finally her ultimate decision to retire and enjoy her senior years.

I personally found the book a nice read, and Anne didn't seem "self serving" at all. The book was to the point and didn't get into too much personal detail, things are frankly no one else's business anyway. It also steered of using all that fancy-mumble jumbo that one needs a dictionary to decipher. There was no gossip here, no resentment towards her peers or fellow contemporaries, just the story of a simple girl from small-town, Nova Scotia who happened to hit it big. I think Anne proved that there's nothing left to prove...

Murray's career has spanned 4 decades, produced over 54 million album sales, and she has been the recipient of every music award going. You simply cannot be Canadian without knowing and admiring Anne and her international contribution to music, both at home and abroad. Her music is recognized worldwide, and IMO her rich, warm alto has only been matched by Karen Carpenter, among others.

In an age of "here today and gone tomorrow" acts, I think it's highly commendable that Anne Murray has had such a lengthy run. And to say that her music and been "forgotten" and her fan base is "dwindling" is simply untrue. EVERY single one of Anne last few albums have consistently made the Top-20 on the Canadian charts. My own personal feelings about the music industry is one of pure disdain. Simply put, 90% of the stuff that radio and the big labels are pumping out today is total GARBAGE. Murray's music invokes a time when an artist displayed true talent, excellent vocal technique and an expressive nature, without using vocal "acrobats", pitch correction, and stage antics that are so prevalent among today's "artists".

I walked away from the book not wishing fame on anyone, but thankful that Anne shared her music, and her life with us. She will always be, simply, Anne Murray! Thanks, Anne. You made your mark and you will be remembered. Bon voyage!

2.0étoiles sur 5 They killed trees to print this?, Nov. 29 2009
Par Frederic White "FredEric White" (Montreal, QC.) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This book is the perfect extension to accompany her latest musical release. Commissioned by the publisher to target her fan base just in time for the holiday season.

However the public at large, apart from her declining fan base and a few Canadian citizens, have completely lost all interest in this artist a long time ago.

Sure she may toss famous names around on the pages of the book and recount her 60 minutes of fame during 1970 and early 1980s but she remains one dimensional. The book is uninteresting to one wanting to gain insight into the workings of the music and entertainment industries within the past 40 years.

This book will rapidly be priced to liquidate, possibly as soon as January 2010.

The book is a tedious read that remains very self serving.

Murray surprisingly maintained a career in the recording industry for over forty years yet highly misunderstands her somewhat limited alto as being the driving force responsible for her longevity within a fickle music industry.

After numerous years, as a recording artist, she must be on a heavy dose of prescription medication & seriously delusional if she believes the stupidities spouted on the pages of this book.
Her label, EMI, remained loyal & stood by her (keeping her signed to their national roasters of artists) even though the cost incurred to produce her ignored recordings far outweighed the revenue generated back to the label for their investment and loyalty. As is the case with Celine Dion, she loves to create a fantasy storyline of her past history.

This book is pointless with no specific goal to make - it turns the recent David Froster memoirs into a work of art.


Autobiographies can instruct or inspire - this one does neither!
Yes - this is the perfect extension to her latest musical release - both waste your money.

I suggest you wait till they liquidate this book in the reduction bargains bins alongside her latest musical release possibly as soon as January 2010.
