Vinyl Highway
"I cannot tell you how much I'm enjoying Vinyl Highway. The writing style is captivating and the stories are fascinating. I'm especially enjoying the memories of Shindig and Sharon. Hearing those memories from Dee Dee's point of view is great, since I lived some of the same memories."
-- Jimmy O'Neill, host of ABC's Shindig
"This well written book is engaging from beginning to end. It has great stories, hilarious scenes, poignant moments, interesting detail, and a breezy style that makes the pages turn themselves."
-- The Elliot Wave Theorist Financial Newsletter
A rollicking tour across the early and mid-1960s, this memoir chronicles the life of Mary Sperling as she transforms from a shy, 18-year-old college student into part of the singing/songwriting phenomenon Dick and Dee Dee, one of the most popular recording duos of the era. But with success comes increasingly rigorous touring, pressure to adapt to the changing music scene, and growing tensions between Dick and herself. Through never-before-told tales of Dick Clark, the Rolling Stones, the Beach Boys, Tina Turner, and other 60s recording artists, Dee Dee reveals her life on the road, her gig as a semi-regular on the ABC show Shindig, and the unpredictable demands of her singing partner. The warm, first-person account exposes the highs and lows of her metamorphosis, illuminates the dark side of fame, and offers hope and light for the future.
