Opis

Celebrity Autobiography Ambassador Bill Pinkney, D.F.A.H., the longest surviving original member of the immortal singing group The Drifters, shares an historical overview of the United States in the 1930s through the 1960s, including a detailed World War II chapter. Focusing on the evolution of American music from the 1940s through the turn of the century and beyond, he tells personal stories about the American Treasures who captured the soundtrack and landscape of the Baby Boomers' experiences. The encouraging message of hope, through steadfast faith in one's ability to achieve, has international, multi-cultural, and multi-generational appeal. Pinkney blazed one of the deepest and most unique trails in music history, as a trailblazing artist and for his career long quest for artist rights and fair business practices. Having lived many lives, his testimony of endurance and moving forward is a 'must read' for historians, educators, and music lovers everywhere.
