Description
Connie Converse: A Life of Music and Mystery The enigmatic life of Connie Converse, a mid-century New York singer and songwriter, has long fascinated music lovers. Her music, a unique blend of traditional Americana, pop standards, and the emerging singer-songwriter movement, has been rediscovered and reevaluated by a new generation. But what drove Converse to create such innovative music, and what ultimately led to her disappearance? In this deeply researched and engaging biography, Howard Fishman delves into Converse's life and music, uncovering the stories and secrets that have long surrounded her. From her early days in Greenwich Village to her mysterious vanishing in 1974, Fishman's narrative is both a hopeful and melancholy exploration of Converse's life and art. Through Converse's music and legacy, Fishman reveals a complex and fascinating portrait of a woman who defied convention and strove for independence in a male-dominated industry. This is a story of dark family secrets, taciturn traditions, and a visionary intellect and talent that continues to inspire and intrigue.
