Sam Shrouder's parents often wondered what he was going to do with his life. Little did they know that Young Sam (as he is known by Ken Dodd) was actually going to have a fantastic adventure as a bingo caller, disc jockey and entertainer and then rise to become one of the theatre world's most influential people.
Read how it happened, how he would rather have been a professional cricketer, how he rubbed shoulders with Little Richard, Shirley Bassey, Andy Williams, the Royal Family and countless other people that the rest of us only read about in the newspapers.
Sam's is an amazing story and includes how he used some of his influence to benefit others in need in many parts of the world. You might cry now and then but you will find it fascinating.
You get the feeling that Mr Shrouder has not finished yet and that he might well respond when someone says yet again
PLAY IT AGAIN SAM.....
