I had an Amazon gift card from my sister. I remembered this book came out last year so I bought it. I haven't finished yet but it's good. It managed to weave its way around the fact and fiction of this amazing person. It does the Alan Freed era nicely which was obviously a big impact on his live show. His complicated love life is written about. The British tours of the 60s are an interesting phase to read about. later life and recordings are all covered in detail with some humour. Well worth a read.
