Features interviews with the stars of pop and rock 'n' roll. This book delves into the dazzling and often treacherous world of the music industry in its golden age.
In this second book of interviews with the stars of pop and rock 'n' roll, Dave Nicolson delves deeper into the dazzling and often treacherous world of the music industry in its golden age. The author's firm belief that popular music represents an important aspect of social history, and his reputation for accuracy and honesty as a writer, have enabled him to obtain some revealing and highly personal first-hand accounts from 15 pioneering performers who were at the forefront of the Fifties' music revolution: Freddie Bell, Martin Denny, Johnny Farina (Santo & Johnny), the Kalin Twins, Robin Luke, Chas McDevitt, Phil Phillips, Marvin Rainwater, Herb Reed (Platters), Tommy Sands, Joe Terranova (Danny & The Juniors), Mitchell Torok, Marty Wilde and the 'Cool Ghoul' himself, John Zacherle.
