"Sh-Boom! The Explosion of Rock 'n' Roll (1953-1968)"
"Clay Cole's new best-seller, "Sh-Boom!" is brimming with the gossip, scandal, and heartbreak of an upstart billion-dollar music biz in his behind-the-scenes look at live television, Top 40 radio, and mom-and-pop record labels, set in a boozy, Mafia-run Manhattan during the 1950s/1960s, when America's teenagers created rock 'n' roll."
Pat Salerno, my TV dance show regular with me at the Connie Francis gala
dinner in Belleville, NJ
on October 25
Sh-Boom! was launched in my hometown, Hubbard, Ohio, with a book signing and a reunion with my 1953 -1957 "Rucker's Rumpus Room" TV cast - Carole Doughton, Janice Belleville and Marilyn Smelko --
"Clay Cole is about as credible as they come. A new book, Sh-Boom! offers his story in frank detail, written in a style so sharp and rhythmic it's not unlike the music he championed for an era ... laced through the tale are fun, startling and all-out honest notes on how the popular music industry developed. Sh-Boom! is not a dry dredging of recollections or generic examples of then-and-now. It's a crowded shindig bursting with swirling spotlights, rare insights, warmth, debauchery, the Mafia and gobs of stars." --Ben Brown
