As well as being a personal memoir Johnnie Hamp's autobiography contains a
collection of fascinating showbusiness anecdotes and some embarrassing
moments involving many of the stars he has worked with - the all time greats of
variety, the rockers, the song writers, the movie stars, the pop idols,
the 'discoveries', the comedians.

Johnnie explains how it feels to be chosen as the subject for This Is Your Life,
why he still cringes when he remembers what he said to John Lennon, why
Frank Sinatra got the hump, why he gagged Bernard Manning, how he
conned Woody Allen, hustled Peter Sellers and shot Larry Hagman.

During a unique showbusiness career which spanned six decades Johnnie
worked with most of the major British and American stars of his era, from
the first time he appeared on stage as a boy stooge to his magician father,
until he eventually rose to become Head of Light Entertainment at Granada TV.
