In his autobiography, Tony looks back on his life as it converged with a number of remarkable episodes in history and the lessons he learned. Moore was born in Northampton, England. His mother died of tuberculosis when he was just four years old and this tragedy was just one of his many bouts with death and loss Tony experienced before he reached twelve years old. This, however, did not stop him from pursuing his dreams. From his years in an English boarding school to London in the swinging sixties, from surviving the throes of the London fashion and music scene to his pursuit of a career in engineering, Moore takes readers to all the colorful chapters in his life through well-told stories that will absorb with their truth and relevance to living and the universal need to find fulfillment. Ultimately, Moore’s experiences taught him a very important truth. He says, “I learned to take the risk, take a chance and just go ahead without fear… The question to ask ourselves is this; ‘If you could change anything in your life what would you change?’ Fifteen hundred retirees were asked that question and most answered very honestly, ‘I wish I had taken more risks.’ How sad that would be to realize that when it’s too late to do anything about it.” An inspiring testimony of the indomitable human spirit, One Of A Kind Making Things Happen tells a faithful story of life—in all its joys and absurdities— as it explores what it truly means be successful.

Martha’s story will take you through never told before stories, the tragic losses, the funny side of show business and the very special relationship she shared with Mr. James Brown. Martha’s story takes us behind the scenes; life on and off stage, performing with The Jewels, The Flames, The Bittersweets and the JB’s before starting her incredible solo career still performing all over the world! “He’s A Funny Cat Ms. High” an expression James Brown often used, in reality described Mr. James Brown himself and his relationship with his ‘sister’ Martha High who spent more time with James Brown, than anybody else over the course of their long professional and personal relationship.
