I hold the pen with which I write my story--and it doesn't need to be sad as long as I have learned from it. The pen is in my hand, so why would I give it to anyone else?

Judy Torres is a Bronx legend, a freestyle music icon, and a voice that helped define a generation. Known as the Queen of Freestyle, Judy rose to fame in the late 1980s with club staples like No Reason to Cry, Come Into My Arms, and Love You, Will You Love Me. She is one of the most recognized and respected figures in the freestyle genre. Her powerful vocals have kept her a fixture of freestyle and dance pop through decades of touring and radio play, and her talent and charisma have simultaneously cemented her as an actress and a beloved New York radio personality. In her memoir, No Reason to Cry, Judy traces her path from a Bronx childhood to a record deal during the explosion of the freestyle phenomenon--and, for the first time in print, she bravely exposes the behind-the-scenes battles she fought along the way.
