Me, the Mob, and the Music: One Helluva Ride with Tommy James and the Shondells, by Tommy James (Scribner, 2011)
#INLINE-CHART#
I am a music freak and only really read biographies. This book is the ultimate look into the "real music business" from the eyes of a major recording artist. Tommy James had about 12 number one hits, and I mean big hits. Even though I know and like his songs, I wouldn't say I was a fan per say (more of a classic rock fan), but after I read the book, he happened to be doing a concert in my area, so I went to see his show. Wonderful show and got to meet him afterward to sign the book and also chat a bit about the book (he wouldn't speak about the "mob" parts of the book – I guess for good reason).
