FRED GOODMAN is a former Rolling Stone editor and the author of the books Fortune's Fool, The Secret City, and The Mansion on the Hill, which was a New York Times Notable Book and received the Ralph J. Gleason Award for Best Music Book.
"[A] savvy, evenhanded biography...Goodman makes the nuts and bolts
really interesting...Sharp thumbnail sketches of various
performers, managers, and record company executives also liven
things up." --The Daily Beast "A compelling work of rock-'n'-roll
history."
--Wall Street Journal"Fred Goodman makes this world come alive and
any fan of rock or insider tales of the music industry will be in
heaven reading about this fascinating, troubling character."
--Judd Apatow "Writing about contracts, percentages and deals can
be tedious, but Goodman makes it as exciting as reading about an
artist's sex life. The book explodes with inside dope."
--Jim Farber, New York Daily News "In this thoroughly researched
biography, Goodman (a former Rolling Stone editor and author of The
Mansion on the Hill) gives a much more complete, balanced look at
the man . . . who has mostly been viewed as a cartoon villain, and
fleshes out his portrait with more nuance and brush strokes than
even before.
--Houston Press"One highly engrossing read. . . . Fred Goodman is a
superb writer and his account here of one of rock 'n' roll's most
polarizing figures could not be more readable. [A] triumph."
--Yahoo! Music"I want you to read it, so you can see how the world
really works. Allen Klein reinvented the wheel."
--Bob Lefsetz"Goodman's eye-opening biography of a pivotal insider
reveals the record-company machinations behind some of the biggest
names from the 1960s."--Booklist "In this balanced, fascinating,
and well-written biography, Goodman gives [Allen Klein] credit
where it's due."--Kirkus, STARRED
