“A unique work … Photographers Nigel Kinrade and Harold Hinson embellish the words with their excellent photographs … They are superb and allow the reader to see Junior during some of his most private moments…something even an ‘all access’ press credential won’t … It may bring tears to your eyes … It’s all here.”
