It's a fascinating and detailed look inside the music business from the 1910s to the 1970s, through the eyes of a man who was an important promoter, music publisher, label owner, A & R man, and performer, and one with a special interest in black music, from jazz to rhythm & blues. It's a must-read for those interested in the inner workings of the music business in a bygone era." --Tim Brooks, author of Lost Sounds: Blacks and the Birth of the Recording Industry, 1890-1919
