A unique memoir that takes you from the Harlem Revival and the Golden Age of Jazz to the New Millennium, I Wish You Love is an account of the African American Jazz Experience from one of the voices that led it.

Born and raised in Harlem, Gloria Lynne lied about her age and won the Apollo Amateur Hour at the age of fifteen. Launched into a career that would span four decades, I Wish You Love is the story of her roller-coaster, trouble-filled life. It is an inspiring story of a courageous woman overcoming terrible adversities--a story of triumph over tragedy, of heartbreaking and heart-mending, and a jazz career that would span four decades. It is also an important piece of American history, a first-hand account of the African-American music experience during the second half of the twentieth century.
