Book Description

Does a particular song take you back to a certain time and place?

More than 100 celebrities were asked what songs bring back special memories.

– Film star Joan Collins The Way You Look Tonight reminds her of the first dance at her wedding to Percy Gibson.

– TV presenter Richard Madeley remembers playing guitar at the local folk club when he hears American Pie by Don McLean.

– Pavarotti’s rendition of Nessun Dorma sets off memories of the 1990 World Cup for Gary Lineker

– Joanna Lumley thinks of her childhood in the Far East whenever she hears Nat King Cole singing Stardust.

Music is one of the most evocative forces on earth. A whole cascade of memories can be brought on by a single tune.

They Can’t Take That Away From Me is a musical memory tour with the stars to a place where it is yesterday once more.
