|summary=A biography of one of America's most successful singers and actresses. To an extent it is an account of her life, if a somewhat uneven one; what the title and sub-title do not reveal is that the main focus of the book is an in-depth account of her 1975 TV variety show.

Having looked at the title and sub-title, the latter being no more than the two-word title of one of her latter-day hits, I assumed this was going to be a fairly comprehensive biography of the American singer. The sub-title, ''Strong Enough'', taken from one of her latter-day hit singles, reveals nothing. Not until I had almost finished it, a little puzzled at it not being quite what I had expected, did I finally look at the blurb on the back – at which point all became clear. This was not the full story of a showbiz career which has lasted close on half a century, but for the most part an extraordinarily detailed account of her 1975 TV variety show.
