"The story that the public were never supposed to read. Brilliantly written, a must-read for all those who want to know the real story." – Peter Karrie "Colourful, candid, humorous and poignant, I couldn't put the book down. Vibrant with unique and wonderful characters." – Iris Williams Just Help Yourself tells the story of The Senators – soon to become The Squires – in 1960s Britain. The band, formed by sixteen-year-old Vernon Hopkins, was to play something called rock and roll, the fresh musical import from America. From practising in his parents' front room to a reputation as the best band in south Wales took just a year. But by 1961 they were in need of a new singer. Vernon recruited local boy Tommy Woodward, and the rest is history. Or is it? This is a classic tale of rock and roll. Successful young musicians from 'the provinces' are enticed to London by their hopeful management, in search of the game-changing record deal. After a period of hardship in Notting Hill, and the addition of a new and thrusting manager, they get a break: records are cut, gigs are played, tv appearances arrive. But as success and money comes the star singer is ruthlessly uncoupled from the band. While Tim Jones takes off, The Squires become increasingly peripheral. Finally, they are cleverly and brutally sacked by the manager, and left to carve out their own careers in the shadow of Jones' success. Vernon Hopkins's authentic story reveals the highs and lows of the music business, and of the allegedly Swinging Sixties. It is full of gritty detail about life in Pontypridd and London, and with great insight into the music business, Just Help Yourself is a cautionary tales of ambition and success. Illustrated with previously unseen photographs from the author's archive.

And The Hits Just Keep On Comin written by Peter E. Berry and has been published by Syracuse University Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 1977-03-01 with Music categories.

And the Hits Just Keep on Comin' spans twenty-two years of popular music history from 1955 through 1976. It is a fusion of definitive statistics and commentary from Pete Berry, a radio personality also known as "The Flying Dutchman." Complementing the text, a detailed discography of the leading artists and their greatest hits, their million sellers, and their gold and platinum albums makes this volume a musical "world book of records." Berry opens with Bill Haley's famous "rimshot" that rocked the world in the mid-fifties, then works his way into the mid-seventies, an age whose idiosyncrasies have given birth to the widest variety of musical tastes in history. Each chapter is a graphic look at an individual year of American musical taste—each fifty two week interval unravels its own story. To simplify the statistics, Pete Berry presents annual charts of the top fifty songs, the week-by-week number-one songs, the most significant artists, and the Grammy and Oscar winners. He supplies facts that the average record buyer or collector previously has been unable to obtain except at great expense or through extensive research. Berry's sources include his own year-by-year records which, as a professional disc jockey, he has kept for the last twenty-two years, information supplied by such organizations as the Recording Industry Association of America, and data gleaned from record companies. An illustration section includes many of the most famous performers and groups. And the Hits Just Keep on Comin' will undoubtedly become an invaluable tool for the settlements of wagers as to the who, when, and where of popular music, and more than likely it will bring memories that are forever frozen in the lyrics and harmonies of the popular song.
