I Guess I'll Get the Papers and Go Home: The Life of Doc Cheatham

This autobiography covers seven decades of jazz, taking in Cheatham's deputization for Louis Armstrong in the 1920s, involvement with Cab Calloway's orchestra in the 1930s and development of a unique style of solo singing from the 1950s until his death in June 1997.
