By the time Helen Shapiro turned fifteen, two of her records had reached number one in the UK pop charts. The second of them - 'Walking Back to Happiness' - made Helen Shapiro an international superstar.
By the age of nineteen, with millions of record sales behind her, her pop career was over. She struggled to stay in showbusiness, paying the price in her personal life. Only in 1979 did the renaissance begin. Helen was cast as Nancy in the West End production of Oliver!
These days her career is blooming. Trumpeter Humphrey Lyttleton describes her as one of the great jazz singers of the age. She also sings gospel. At the age of forty, Helen accepted Yeshua as the Jewish Messiah, and became a 'Messianic' Jew. The story of her spiritual quest is a moving and powerful conclusion to this, Helen Shapiro's autobiography.
