BackStage is a raucously funny, narrative non-fiction compilation of stories, tales, and gems from the Golden Era of entertainment circa 1960 - 1980. The stories are told by the bass trombonist who played in the Tommy Dorsey band, with Frank Sinatra and later toured with Elvis’ Orchestra into the Rock & Roll era and to his end. Marty Harrell was also the best friend and roommate of Frank Sinatra Jr. through their Tommy Dorsey years. The book is filled with tales of the brightest stars of the greatest era of music entertainment during the nascent days of television and new media, and provides a personal perspective of this behind the scenes character - who unknowingly bears witness to the most beloved of the era. These great little gems that have never been told before, range from when Dean Martin called the police on his own party, and when Marty stuffed a potato into the exhaust pipe of Liberace’s mini-Roll Royce on live television. Another favorite is the story of when Elvis kicked a girl out of his hotel room during a Winter storm. This band member also tells stories of the raw talent that could only be appreciated up close and personal, like when Frank Sinatra sight read and sang the song “My Kind of Town Chicago is” perfectly, without ever hearing the melody, or when Elvis, on his last tour, surprised the band by sitting at the piano, and belting out the most amazing performance of “Unchained Melody” without ever rehearsing it with the band. The narrative non-fiction highlights the innocence and nostalgia of the time, while providing a glimpse behind the curtains, and giving personal perspectives of these truly talented and beloved entertainers and how they interacted with the crowds and their talented backup.

This is a very cheap looking, poorly written book. The printing is very small and light. The paper is very rough and cheap. The book is loaded with spelling errors, grammatical errors, and typos. Did anyone bother proofreading this pile of crap? The Elvis section contains so many factual errors it is ridiculous! Did no one consider checking any dates or facts before it was printed? There are hardly any direct quotes and way too many generalities. I should have just flushed my 18 bucks down the toilet. Be warned! Do NOT waste your money!Product details

BACKSTAGE Behind the Curtains with the Greatest Entertainers of the 20th Century Darryl Vidal Marty Harrell James Takatsuka 9781521040461 Books Reviews
Great book. Enjoying all the stories
I loved this paperback. I can't remember how many times I laughed out loud while reading this book. The chapter on Elvis and the bit about Howard writing in the snow is a classic. Can't recommend this highly enough.
There are mistakes in grammar and other things, but hey, this guy is a musician and that gives him a pass in my world. Inside the life of a musician is not something you read about everyday. Especially from a talented and gifted musician that Marty Harrell is, was and always will be. If you wanted to have a career as a musician and never had the chance, check this book out and dream about what it's like. Only stories a real musician could tell.
