Reviews
Larry Harris’ book is one third music history book, one third business book and one third 1970’s pop culture book. I enjoyed this book very much and found it an important read. If you are interested in any of the three topics I highly recommend it. The book is easy and exciting to read and I found that I did not want to stop reading. Mr. Harris’ book flowed well and I was left wanting more, which was satisfied because the book is enhanced by many YouTube videos online.
