Growing up on Chicagos South Side in the 50s and 60s. I was struck by how much of his story about the groups. the music. the venues and Chicagos music scene. even the record industry. all resonated with me. He sort of downplays his entry into the business world with a beer distributorship. something that piqued my interest since. in Chicago. that can be a lucrative business. I wanted more on that as well as his venturing into politics. Jerry Butler is a remarkable man and his story is most interesting to those of us. black and non-black alike. who grew up on that thriving music scene. The book has an older copyright date than I expected but even with the passage of well over a decade the story still plays well.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
