Описание: A Dollop of Toothpaste is the fourth book by singer, songwriter, actor and music historian Billy Vera. It is his first novel. In it, he uses his decades of experience in the often treacherous world of show business to tell the story of guitarist Johnny Santoro, his 98 year old uncle Nicky, head of the New Orleans Mafia, his best friend Pete Holman and Johnnys young lover Paulette de Saint Marie from the wealthy suburb of Old Greenwich, Connecticut.

Our futuristic tale begins on the 20th anniversary of 9/11 and with the destruction of a major US city by enemies unknown and the hacking of the electrical grid in the nations northeastern sector, causing chaos, looting and rioting. Uncle Nicky sees this dual tragedy as an opportunity to bring the mob back to its rightful place in US politics and seeks a partnership with Paulettes 33rd degree Freemason father in order to seat a President of his own choosing, as his colleagues had done in 1960.

Our story takes us from New Orleans to Italian East Harlem to Old Greenwich to the African-American and Southern Italian section of White Plains, New York. Along the way, we meet Louisiana Senator Antonino Handsome Tony Calabrese, East Harlem mob boss Vito Gennaro, as well as fictionalized versions of some well-known celebrities in an alternate universe that, at times, seems all too real and prescient. The reader will walk away, pondering whether German Nazis really do exist in South America or if there are actually extraterrestrial beings keeping a watchful eye on us, here on Earth?

This is a book filled with authenticity, from the music, the food, the dialects and in the locations rarely seen in other books. It is also about Love: of friends, of two unlikely lovers and the love of three very different families and how they converge. And, as in real life, there is always a touch of humor when least expected.

Описание: Launched by legendary music industry executive Art Rupe in the mid-1940s, the Los Angeles-based Specialty Records emerged as one of the most important independent labels for African-American music in the twentieth century. Recognizing that competing with major record companies was a losing battle, Rupe headed to Central Avenue, the center of L.A.'s black community, where he spent $200 on what were then known as "race records." He carefully analyzed each, developing his own formula for a successful venture. Soon, Specialty was scoring R&B hits with artists such as Roy Milton, Camille Howard, Jimmy and Joe Liggins, and Percy Mayfield. Drawn to the music of New Orleans, Rupe went on to sign Lloyd Price, who topped the charts with "Lawdy Miss Clawdy." It was through Price that Specialty acquired its best-known artist, Little Richard. After "Tutti Frutti" exploded in 1955, Richard and the label scored a string of successes with "Long Tall Sally," "Lucille," "Keep A Knockin'," "Good Golly Miss Molly," and more. In addition to R&B and the emerging sounds of rock 'n' roll, Rupe was particularly drawn to the sounds of the church. Black gospel music was an essential element of his company, with a roster that included stars of the genre, such as Sam Cooke's Soul Stirrers, Sister Wynona Carr, Brother Joe May, Alex Bradford and the Bradford Specials, and others. From behind-the-scenes producers Robert "Bumps" Blackwell, J.W. Alexander, Harold Battiste, and Sonny Bono, to R&B recording stars Floyd Dixon, Guitar Slim, Jesse Belvin, Larry Williams, and Don and Dewey, this is the story of the legendary Specialty Records.
