5.0 out of 5 stars The 1950s Brought Back to Life Aug 27 2011
By Keith - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
As the nephew of Tommy Edwards and the owner of the slide collection, I know for a fact that extensive research was done for all the photos in the book. I was, and am, a big fan of Bill Haley and his Comets and fully understand that they were the first "Kings of Rock & Roll," as does author Chris Kennedy, who states in the book, Bill Haley was "our first rock superstar" and he acknowledges that his "brilliant music survives." I was sorry to read that Jack Haley took issue with certain statements in the book. The intent was never to diminish Bill Haley and his Comets, as many fans (including myself) of that era loved him.
Long Live Rock & Roll.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have! Aug 5 2011
By James V. Roy - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is simply fascinating. Having done research and writing about similar subject matter for Scotty Moore's website I was familiar with some of the research Chris had done regarding events said to have that transpired in and around Cleveland in 1955. When I heard that this book was being released and saw the quality of some of the photos I had only ever seen cropped and diminished before I knew I had to get a copy based on those alone. The inclusion of the veritable plethera of unreleased shots taken by Tommy Edwards of many of the other artists of the day were just the bonus. I commend Chris on his research and his presentation and can only hope at some point he realeases a Volume II. This book is a must have for any serious fan of Rock 'n Roll history.

4.0 out of 5 stars 1950's Radio In Color Aug 20 2011
By Frank A. Buongervino Jr. - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
The late, Tommy Edwards was a D J in Cleveland on WERE - AM.
His hobby was Photography. He started taking pictures of
everybody that he interviewed on his show. He also hosted
sock - hops on Friday Night. Starting in 1956, he began
featuring a slide show at his sock - hops. This was 25 years
before music videos or MTV. Maybe Tommy was ahead of
his time. Every page filled with great pictures. All the
great singers and some that never made the big time.
All these singers were just starting their careers.
Very young . Well worth the money.
