"This edition combines for the first time in one volume two rare autobiographies by cantor, My Life Is in Your hands (1928, with David Freedman) and Take My Life (1957, with Jane Kesner Ardmore).".
"Within these pages Cantor retraces the steps that carried him from a dingy one-room apartment on New York's Lower East Side through a thousand stage doors.
He recalls his childhood as an orphan; his job as a singing waiter on Coney Island (where he worked with Jimmy Durante); and, in a career that ranged from vaudeville to television, his relationships with friends and colleagues like Florenz Ziegfeld, Busby Berkeley, Irving Berlin, Al Jolson, /will Rogers, Clara Bow, Sophie Tucker, Ethel Merman, and Jack Benny.".
"This special edition includes a never-before-published, "lost" chapter from his first autobiography; over five dozen photos; a new filmography; a new discography of Cantor's gramophone recordings and hits; and, for the first time, a comprehensive index of Cantor's autobiographies. The result is the definitive book on Eddie - by Eddie."--BOOK JACKET.
