One Chance
A Memoir

The inspirational memoir by international classical music star Paul Potts, winner of Britain' s GotTalent-- soon to be a major motion picture from The Weinstein Company One Chance is the remarkable true story of Paul Potts, cell phone salesman by day, amateur singer by night, who stepped onto the stage in the premiere season of Britain' s Got Talent, and changed his life. When he opened his mouth to sing Puccini' s " Nessun Dorma," judge Simon Cowell and millions of viewers were stunned. Paul went on to win the show' s competition and become a YouTube sensation and multiplatinum artist virtually overnight.
