From Barnes & Noble
In his new book, The Hits Just Keep on Coming, entertainment journalist Ben Fong-Torres explores how the Top 40 format launched rock 'n' roll, became the voice of the baby-boom generation, and was the savior of radio itself after the ascent of television. No less an authority than Casey Kasem said of this entertaining and informative volume: "You've got to get this book. Great pictures, great stories. It's really the history of Top 40."Book Details
