Description
This book is a personal journey behind the scenes into the world of music-makers who created the film scores, television music, sound recordings, commercials and concert evenings over the last sixty years.
It’s about a long singing career that began in 1960 with concert tours – Ray Conniff, Nat King Cole, and later, solo work in concert with Burt Bacharach – to thirty years of vocals and main titles for The Simpsons, vocals for Family Guy…vocals on hundreds of film & television scores & sound recordings, plus twenty-two years as Choral Director for the Oscars. It’s also the personal story of growing up in a “his, hers and theirs” family in the forties and fifties, and how a shy little girl became a second-generation singer in the ever-evolving music business of Hollywood.

“Sally Stevens' memoir is just like Sally…elegant, honest and full of music and history. The only thing that could make this book better is if Sally sang it!”
~Marc Shaiman, Tony and Grammy Awards Winning Film & Theater Composer
“You may not know her name, but you've heard her voice a thousand times – in movies, on TV, in commercials and on records. And now Sally Stevens is telling her own story of success in the music business. It's a colorful, candid and delightful memoir.”
~ Jon Burlingame, Music Journalist & author of The Music of James Bond
"The book is written honestly and openly by Sally, whose achievements are far-ranging and well deserving through the dogged perseverance of her passion. Her work with the union is particularly inspiring, and she is a true role model."
~ Literary Titan
"I Sang That: A Memoir from Hollywood isn't just another starlet's exploration of the industry, but a music-oriented probe of some sixty years of Hollywood film scores, television music, sound recordings, commercials, and concerts."
~ Midwest Book Review
"Author Sally Stevens is fascinating, wise, generous with her time, and fair in her perspective—and she has lived an extraordinary life. "
