In "This Magic Moment", author Harry Turner transports us to the days of juke boxes & the lure of R&B & rock & roll, & eventual changes in the late 50s--"...the end of innocence." Turner makes the case that the British music invasion, fueled by the record industry & all-powerful media, eclipsed all in its path with rapacious greed, drugs & hedonism, which filtered into the fabric of society with lasting effects. As the author reflects on music & society drifting toward outrageousness, we sense a deep loss for us all. But it is the relationship that Turner has developed with a number of R&B & early rock & roll artists such as Freddy "Boom Boom" Cannon, the Platters & the Drifters, as well as sixteen pages of black & white photographs that add merit to the book. "Great reading! Harry tells it like it was!"--R&B legend & Tony award winner Ruth Brown. "...gives a whole new meaning to the value of R&B."--Grammy winner & producer, Al Ham. "This Magic Moment" is easy reading, nostalgic, insightful."--Dr. Joe Lesesne, President, Wofford College.
