All Roots Lead to Rock - Legends of Rock 'n' Roll (Hardcover)

You'll read about Louis Prima, the Italian-American who created big-rhythm music and also pioneered the Las Vegas floor show; Screamin' Jay Hawkins, the godfather of Satanic rockers from Alice Cooper to Marilyn Manson; Shirley Lee, who was a role model for strong women in rock and roll from Bonnie Raitt to Sheryl Crow; Duane Eddy, the father of rock's twangy electric guitar sound; and many, many more. These are stories touched with tragedy, but always celebrating the youthful energy of the music itself.
