5.0 out of 5 stars A Must For A Mobile Disc Jockey, March 9, 2000

By	Ken Maas (San Leandro, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This book has proven to be an extremely valuable tool for me... I own a Bay Area DJ company, and while I'd love to tell you I know the name and artist of every song realeased, it's just not true. With this book, the info is at my fingertips. If a song has "charted" in the Hot 100 singles chart from '55 - '96, it's in the book. I'm anxious for the author to update the book to the present day. I seriously use this book all the time, and if you're "in to" music at all, it's great to have around. Songs are listed by name in the back of the book, or you can look songs up by the Artist(s) who released them. You can learn when it charted, how high it reached on the charts, and what an artists biggest hits have been. At the risk of being sacreligious, this book is known as the "DJ's Bible".

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT! GREAT! Worth every penny!!!, October 22, 1998

By A Customer

For anyone who loves Rock'N'Roll music, this is a "MUST HAVE" book. I bought one for myself and a good friend liked it so much that I gave it to him and am now purchasing another one for myself. This book has a hugh variety of info on the artists as well as the songs, and will provide many years of enjoyment.
