Disc Jockeys, Preachers, and Elvis: 55 Years of Behind the Scene Stories of Disc Jockeys, Rock & Roll, and Elvis . . . as told by the author, who lived them.

Description

182 pages and over 250 pictures tell the stories of my 55 years in the business . . .

Disc jockey, program manager, general manager, concert promoter, radio trade publication owner/publisher. You’ll discover how difficult it was for a new artist to get his record played on the radio, and how without that airplay, any chance for success was almost nil. You’ll read about my relationship with Elvis generating background stories you’ve never heard or read until now (luckily the author was born in Tupelo). You’ll wonder why the universal quote from DJs was “I can’t believe they will pay me for doing what I love so much.” Yet, today most of those DJs have departed the radio business, with AM radio, in particular, signing off one final time.

The book is rated 5 stars on Amazon and tops across the board by other DJs.

Was it all sex, drugs, and rock & roll? Yes, no, maybe, sometimes . . . as Bob Seger sang, “turn the page” and read the real stories. Today, as we scan the dial . . . favorite DJs and stations are gone . . . off the air. The answers are here.
