Description

With his tongue-in-his-cheek the author looks back on sixty years spent working in the international popular music industry during which time he has been a journalist, a publicist, an artiste manager (twice) a senior record company executive (twice) and most recently a concert promoter in Poland and Brazil. During that time he has worked with more than 200 artistes, from some never-heard-of no hopers to a handful of the all-time biggest names in popular music. Beginning in 1968 when the author interviewed the up-and-coming singer Joe Cocker and ending in the summer of 2026 when he promoted the French keyboard legend Jean-Michel Jarre in Poland, the book includes chapters on Shirley Bassey, Black Oak Arkansas, Black Sabbath, Ted Nugent, The Motors, Paul McCartney, Michael Jackson, Aerosmith, Mariah Carey, Ricky Martin, Van Morrison and Tony Iommi’s “Heaven and Hell”.
