Rating: - Loved Girls Like Us
I loved this book. Being from the 60's generation I found myself actually being there with these real life enterainers. These singers and song writers were part of my youth and to read about their lives was such a treat. Sheila Weller has once again scored an A+.

Rating: - If your a fan of all 3 Artist,you'll love this book
I just wanted to read about Carly Simon,even though I've always been a fan of Carole Kings music.
This book never stays on one artist,but just keeps skipping to the next.The only thing common with all 3 seems to be James Taylor.
Most of the stories I've already knew about Carly,but there is one chapter that is not brought up.Back in 1995 when Carly and Taylor performed together,something happened after the show . James Taylor wanted nothing to do with Simon afterwards.I would love to know what happened?
This book is still interesting if you are a fan of any of these GREAT Women.

Rating: - A Trip Well Worth Taking
Many years ago, in one of his rare lucid moments, the great Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones warned "trust the art, not the artist." In the vast majority of cases, Richards' warning has proved to be devastatingly accurate. Music lovers, hearing something resonant and personal in a song, long to get nearer to the source. In most cases they would have been better off keeping their distance. Closer looks at where art comes from often leads to keeping company with drunks, junkies,thugs, psychotics, and borderline morons. That was the first reason to avoid this book. The second reason was the title. Any book called "Girls Like Us" screams chick lit. Thank goodness for Amazon and mail order ... Read More

Rating: - An era's feminine soundtrack
A wordy Who's Who of the '60 onwards popular music industry. Sheila Weller weaves the lives & times of these groundbreaking divas' together: how & where they started, who they loved, how they crossed paths & where they are today. I enjoyed learning about their early years. A memorable read about the feminine soundtrack to the Baby Boomers' coming of age even if Judy Collins gets short shrift. Including a CD of their mega hits would have been groovy!
