This is an honest, truthful, profile of 43 of the most popular Rock Stars from the 60's. Written after in depth interviews with the stars themselves, it tells their histories and what they are doing now. How their Rock fame affected their lives. It is fun to read and really brings back memories. Highly recommended!

This book was so great. I espically liked the Gary Puckett and the Union Gap section. I am from San Diego, CA and it is cool to hear where they are now, and what their lives have been like. For the music lover this is a great selection!

I became involved and included in this project, married to one of the musicians in this book, of course I had to own it!

Echoes if the Sixties is not only interesting, but entertaining. I was impressed with the way it was organized into a "Time Capsule," summary, "Hit Singles," and interviews. What a wonderful reference vehicle. After reading it from cover-to-cover, I enjoyed reviewing sections again.

A well written book about the lives of some of our favorite rock stars from the sixties. Not the kind of sex, drugs and rock and roll kind of stuff, but some very good interpersonal information and "career guidance".
Some of the interviewees are well known and others are people you thought you didn't know, but they may have played your favorite solo or written your favorite song.
This is a great book for those interested in how the music biz really works, and how it may treat it's most creative bread-winners.
Too bad there wasn't a sequel, or that others haven't written like minded volumes.
