Product Description
by Jim Cech (Author)
Former Milwaukee radio broadcaster and tour coordinator Jim Cech (pronounced "check") traveled across America for three decades speaking with hundreds of performers whose music reached the pinnacle of pop. The men and women responsible for some of the Rock Era's most recognizable songs will take you inside their hits with stories about recording sessions, inspirations and the moments they took over the number one spot on Billboard Magazine's Hot 100 chart. You will find out which singer pulled a cassette demo out of the trash to create her first chart-topping single. Who lived with the regret of turning down an invitation to play Woodstock and which artists were cheated out of royalties? Reaching for the Stars will answer those questions and many more along with opening a window on artist management and stories from life on the road with Jordan Knight, the lead singer of New Kids on the Block.
