Hound Dog: The Leiber & Stoller Autobiography, by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, with David Ritz. Simon and Schuster. Print Length: 336p. Kindle edition $16.99. Text-to-Speech: Disabled.
"In 1950 a couple of rhythm and blues-loving teenagers named Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller met for the first time. Leiber was looking for someone to help compose music for lyrics he'd written, and a friend recommended a piano player named Mike Stoller. They discovered their mutual affection for R&B, and, as Jerry and Mike put it in this fascinating autobiography, it was the beginning of an argument that has been going on for more than fifty years with no resolution in sight. Leiber and Stoller had their first success with a song called Hard Times that became an R&B hit in 1952. They followed it with the classic song Kansas City, and then another bluesy composition, Hound Dog, for the inimitable Big Mama Thornton. They were still in their teens and working with some of the pioneers of rock and roll. A few years later Hound Dog would become a #1 record for Elvis Presley, and Jerry and Mike became the King's favorite songwriters...With the assistance of David Ritz, they describe what it was like when Elvis was a fresh new face and when two young guys with tons of talent and an insatiable love of good old American R&B could create the soundtrack for a generation..." - Amazon.

"Bill Clegg had a thriving business as a literary agent, a supportive partner, trusting colleagues, and loving friends when he walked away from his world and embarked on a two-month crack binge. He had been released from rehab nine months earlier, and his relapse would cost him his home, his money, his career, and very nearly his life. What is it that leads an exceptional young mind want to disappear? Clegg makes stunningly clear the attraction of the drug that had him in its thrall, capturing in scene after scene the drama, tension, and paranoiac nightmare of a secret life - and the exhilarating bliss that came again and again until it was eclipsed almost entirely by doom. He also explores the shape of addiction, how its pattern - not its cause - can be traced to the past..." - Publisher.

Sean, who grew up poor, believed that one day he could provide a home that would be 'a place of miracles.'
