The Hot Canary by Joan Ellis, Tower Publications Inc., New York, 1963.
Young Donnie’s voice was not so hot, but everything else about her was. When she made her first public appearance she wore a red jersey top, one size too small, and a pair of short shorts. The men in the audience did not care whether or not Donnie could sing. So started her climb to the top, but to get there, she had to spend a lot of time on the bottom.
