  Revealing details about icon Amy Winehouse’s childhood, musical influences and substance abuse, this biography by her father “can’t fail to move”(The Sunday Times). 
   
  The intimate, inside story of the life of multiple Grammy Award-winning singer and songwriter Amy Winehouse is told by the one person most able to tell it—Amy’s closest advisor, her inspiration, and best friend: her father, Mitch. 
   
  Sifting fact from fiction, Mitch Winehouse reveals the events and the people that shaped Amy’s youth—from her mischievous childhood to her grandmother’s Jazz Age stories, to her father singing Frank Sinatra around the house. Shedding light on Amy’s musical coming-of-age, Mitch explores how she honed her distinctive sound, created her unforgettable look, and channeled her own life into hits such as “You Know I’m No Good”, “Rehab”, and “Back to Black” —some of the most memorable and personal pop music in years. 
   
  Mitch holds nothing back about Amy’s addiction to drugs and alcohol and the toll it took on the family and friends who refused to give up on her. Dispelling many of the rumors about her tumultuous marriage to Blake Fielder-Civil, Mitch exposes the years of behind-the-scenes drama and explains how, for those who knew Amy in her last months, the greatest tragedy of all was that she finally appeared to be conquering her demons. 
   
  Amy, My Daughter includes exclusive, never-before-seen photos and paints an open and honest portrait of one of the greatest musical talents of our time. 
   
  “An unsparing portrait of addiction.” —The Times  
   
  “Mitch does a fine job of fleshing out his daughter in all contradictory glory.” —Observer  
   
  “An unflinchingly honest memoir.” —Independent

  While some would contend that Carly Simon’s wealthy background gave her a leg up, her talent and skill as a musician make it clear that she earned every bit of her current and future success on her own. Her first break came while she was on vacation. She and her sister Lucy took a trip to Cape Cod and tried to get a job performing in a summer resort. As luck would have it the previous performer had left, so they started singing there with a repertoire of three songs.  The duo continued to perform before eventually disbanding and Carly began performing as a solo artist. In June of 1971, she sat down with Wink Martindale for a detailed conversation about her life, career and passion for music.

  A mad killer is on the prowl, and there's a dead body in the trunk. This is a good shocker with surprise ending. The script was previously used on Inner Sanctum on September 18, 1945. 
   Linda Dixon is driving north in to the mountains in her six year old car that has motor troubles. She is already feeling a little nervous when she hears a siren in the distance. She knows that the State Prison is in the vicinity and turns on the radio to hear the message that motorists are warned to be on the lookout for Lee Hartley who has escaped from the death cell at state prison at 9:15pm. He is five foot ten with dark hair and is a confirmed killer who is believed to be armed and would rather kill than eat.
