Fil-Am book fest features life of Elizabeth Ramsey
One of the books featured during the recent Filipino-American International Book Festival in San Francisco is a book that chronicles the life journey of Elizabeth Ramsey and her six-decade long career as the Philippines' queen of rock and roll.
Prior to her death two years ago, Ramsey told her story through one of her children, Sansu, about what it took to make it as the first black Filipina accepted in the Philippine entertainment business.
"She wanted all her fans, and family and friends to know more in-depth about who Elizabeth Ramsey was," said Sansu.
Conflict between Ramsey's children is also included in the book - particularly between Sansu and Jaya, a soul singer in the Philippines.
"I wish that one day she can visit her mother's burial - if she knows where it is, if she really wants to, if she is interested to see where her mother is buried. To let you know, Jaya, she was buried in San Carlos where she was born and raised - you may have to take a trip!" Sansu said.
