Come Fly With Me : Michael Buble's Rise to Stardom a Memoir Hardcover

Beverly Delich

In 1993, Beverly Delich discovered an 18-year-old singer named Michael Bublé in a Vancouver talent contest, became his manager, and moved with him to Toronto, and then L.A., as he tried to break into a tough, unforgiving business. This book is her vivid, behind-the-scenes story of the making of a modern-day superstar, from the early days when she and Bublé struggled to get bookings, to the giddiness of hobnobbing with musical royalty, to the pivotal and sometimes heartbreaking decisions that would take Bublé to the top and found Beverly on the sidelines.

It's a stylish telling of two stories: Michael Buble's story from aspiring singer to international star and that of his manager, Delich, a self-made, ingenious woman who recognized talent in the boy from Vancouver. Big names such as David Foster and Paul Anka also add life to this unique, fast moving memoir... --Publishers Weekly "A recommended pick for fans of the singer and any who want personal insights into what it takes to break into the music world." --California Bookwatch
