JERRY LEE LEWIS
Lost And Found
by Joe Bonomo
In Jerry Lee Lewis: Lost and Found, author Joe Bonomo delves deeply into the accidental intersection between fading American Rockabilly and the ascending Beatlemania. By first taking a look at the critical years before his famed night in 1964 at West Germany’s Star-Club, then the tumultuous years that follow, culminating in his years on the American Country charts in the late 60s/early 70s, Bonomo brings Jerry Lee Lewis to life in new and fascinating ways.

LITTLE
RICHARD
The Birth Of Rock'n'Roll
by David Kirby
This book is a concise, evocative, and thoroughly researched study of one of the great rock'n'roll pioneers. After “Tutti Frutti," Little Richard began garnering fans from both sides of the civil rights divide. He brought black and white youngsters together on the dance floor and even helped to transform race relations.
