Produktbeschreibung

"How did Mae West influence a Motown hit? What theme song earned millions and millions for the writer? Who was the drummer on the hit song, "Dancin' in the Streets"?

The Saturday Morning Song Chronicles: Memoirs, Motown, and Music is more than a book. Paul B Allen III has written a musical encyclopedia, with artist biographies, a primer on how the music business works and a video catalog all in one… a feast for music lovers of jazz, R&B, soul, Motown, pop, disco and more… This book is a treasure trove of stories about great artists… [Allen] paints nuanced pictures of the artists as people with all their faults, foibles, kindnesses, personalities and histories… Lucky for us, he shares his vast musical and insider knowledge in this fascinating book." - S. Tuffin. Book reviewer for the Lawrence Technological University library.

"Allen's book is purely and simply, GENIUS." - Earle Holder - Music Mastering Engineer and Grammy judge.

Autorenporträt

Paul B Allen III has been a professional in the music industry for nearly fifty years. He has written songs that became Billboard magazine number one hits for U.K. Jazz Fusion band Incognito, and for Brothers in Rhythm (on the American charts). His song, "Such A Good Feeling" has been listed as one of the "Greatest 100 Dance Singles of all Time," by the venerable dance music magazine, Mixmag.

Allen has also served as the lead vocalist of a legendary vocal group, the Platters ("Only You," "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes," "The Great Pretender"), and as such, he has lead the group in performances at prestigious venues all around the world, including The Kennedy Center, where the group was backed by the National Symphony Orchestra. He has also performed for the Royal Family in England, and for Prince Albert of Monaco, as well as for the President and First Lady of Fiji. He was also invited to perform for the President of the United States of America.

Allen's style of writing is eclectic. To date he has completed four books, including a historical science fiction / fantasy, named Benjamin Franklin: Time Tripper, an autobiography, From Karaoke to The Platters, a whimsical set of short stories named The Tall Tales of Erasmus Obadiah Short, and a superhero screenplay rendered to book form, The Power of X.

Eagerly anticipated by many around the world, The Saturday Morning Song Chronicles becomes Allen's fifth book, and perhaps his most compelling work to date.
