Autorenporträt
Behind the glitter of the stage lights, the music business was chaos-equal parts brilliance, madness, and cutthroat deals. Tom was there for it all. At RCA Records, he promoted Elvis Presley, David Bowie, Lou Reed, and Harry Nilsson. Later, he co-founded labels, signed hitmakers like Chic, and revived publishing catalogs still thriving today. In Music Business Stories - Book One (1965-1985), Tom reveals the untold truths: Stories about special Tiffany Christmas gifts. A TV Special on record industry corruption using The Zepplin and David Bowie as the lead in. Recording artists behind the curtain and backstage comedy that sometimes came with a cost. This isn't a polished history. It's the raw, unfiltered ride through rock 'n' roll's and R&B's golden age-told by someone who lived it and survived to tell the tale.
