Being a fan of 1960’s music, I was really interested to read Sly Stone’s autobiography. I did enjoy learning about how he became a musician and the stories behind the big hits. It’s also nice that I can ask Alexa to play a song after I read about it as I did that for his…

This book was provided to me from Netgalley, so I can read and review it before it’s published. Before I begin my review, let me quickly say that The Beatles are my favorite band. When I was 13 years old, I purchased The Beatles complete collections of CDs. I eventually added a little bit of…

I have been seeing this book as an advertisement on my Kindle. I knew about his music with Peter and Gordon and his involvement with The Beatles and Apple Records but had no clue about how prolific his career as a producer and a manager was until now. James Taylor and Linda Ronstadt were by…

I have tried and failed to read this one a few times, but since I just read a book about some of the girl groups of the 1960’s, and some of the songwriters from that book were featured pretty prominently in this one. So, I gave it a go again and am very glad, I…

So, basically, Matt is losing his…

I had no clue who Sally Stevens was, as I only read this book because of the title and description. I enjoyed her stories of being a singer with Nat King Cole and Burt Bacharach, just to name a few stars that she sang and toured with. In addition, she led her voice on the…

This book was provided to me from Netgalley, so I can read and review it before it’s published. Man, I had no idea of the troubles Aaron Neville got into throughout his life. I always pictured him as a clean dude who was always singing with his family. But I am glad he persevered, because…

I saw this book as an advertisement on my Kindle, and when I read the description and the names of Elton John, John Lennon, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Freddie Mercury, and more, I was intrigued and instantly purchased it. A lot of the autobiographies/biographies books I have this year have been either been sports…

When I saw this book as an upcoming release a few weeks ago, I immediately threw it in my Amazon Wishlist (I use it to keep track of books I want to read). I do have a few of her songs on my iPhone playlist. One of them is called Are You Alright, and one…
