Book Reviews of Lonely Avenue: The Unlikely Life and Times of Doc Pomus

Book Review: Music libraries will find it an excellent addition
Summary: 5 Stars

During rock 'n' roll's early years Doc Pomus wrote some of the biggest hits from his Lonely Avenue to Save the Last Dance for Me and Hushabye. His works were picked up by Elvis Presley, B.B. King, Bob Dylan and more - and LONELY AVENUE documents his life, inspiration, achievement, and times in an outstanding blend of quotes from his journals and biographical examination. Music libraries will find it an excellent addition.
