A Review for The Melody Lingers On
"An absolutely lovely guide and everything a fan could desire from a critical and cultural historian, including good sense and great taste. These are the classic composers-- Hollywood immortals all-- whose songs come back like a lump in the throat or a big bloomy feeling in the chest. . . Hemming examines not only the film scores but their Broadway originals when there was one, what got dropped, what survived, and what ew was added

His other books include Discovering Great Music-A New Listener's Guide to the Top Classical Composers and Their Masterworks and, with David Hajdu, Discovering Great Singers of Classic Pop, both published by Newmarket Press.
