About
"Take a walk through the 50s, during the time of the birth of rock n' roll with Willy J. as he rises from the black ghetto of the Chicago stockyards to become a world-wide star as a singer and songwriter. He starts his journey at just ten years old with a god-given wonderful voice and is discovered while singing "Amazing Grace." Along the way, he experiences the adrenalin[e] of being a success and the deep sorrow of losing loved ones and best friends. His overwhelming success will bring him face-to-face with difficult decisions. On this journey, readers will also get to know many of the stars of the rock n' roll years: Muddy Waters, Four Lads, Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, Kingston Trio, Howlin' Wolf, Patsy Cline, Mahalia Jackson, Ray CHarles, Sam Phillips, a young John Lennon, and others responsible for the music that will last forever"--Page 4 of cover.
