About this audiobook
The story of The Mills Brothers is much like that of many entertainers, featuring humble beginnings,, big dreams, success, tragedy and ultimately a happy ending. In 1973, host Wink Martindale sat down with two of the original Mills Brothers, Harry and Donald, to recount their tale.
The pair details the earliest days of their career in Piqua, Ohio. From that small-town start, the group went on to sell millions of records and enjoy wildly popularity. Listen in as they share the many ups and downs of their successes in their musical career.
