"If you ever heard or saw Frank Yankovic perform, you have to read this book ... Dolgan did a masterful job." -- Polka Times
The definitive biography of American music legend Frank Yankovic describes a life filled with triumphs, defeats, crises, and controversies.
An uninhibited original, Yankovic earned his international reputation. For half a century he wowed polka fans around the globe with hits such as "Just Because" and "The Blue Skirt Waltz." He sold millions of records, won the first Polka Grammy, and found fame and fortune beyond his wildest dreams.
But behind the light-hearted sounds of the accordion stood a man obsessed. With a tumultuous touring schedule, a restless temper, disgruntled bandmates, and three failed marriages, Yankovic found himself struggling with dark emotions while playing the "happiest music on earth."
Yankovic could be lovable, mean, generous, and petty, but always brave and audacious. Above all, he was an entertainer. There may never be another like him.
Includes a comprehensive discography.
