Despite some early close shaves with a number of diverse career paths, ranging from gravedigging to professional football, it was music that truly captured his heart and he never looked back. Rod started out in the early 1960s, playing the clubs on London s R&B scene, before his distinctively raspy voice caught the ear of the iconic front man Long John Baldry, who approached him while busking one night on a railway platform.

Very readable and lovely photographs
Having been a teenager, only slightly younger than Rod, this book took me right back to those special years. I liked the way it was written in Rod's own words and his descriptions of the tours he undertook gave me a vivid picture of life as a popstar. I have always been a huge fan of Rod and I now feel that I know him as a person . Great book!
