<b>'This is a book unlike any other, the definitive analysis of David's music, told in a quiet natural way, but with absolute authenticity, by the people around him.' -</b> <b>HERMIONE FARTHINGALE</b><br/><br/><b>'Jerome Soligny is one of the best authorities in the world on David Bowie's career and life in general... His new biography <i>Rainbowman </i>is a thorough and honest account of the great man.' - TONY VISCONTI</b><br/><br/><b>'Jerome is a guy who is still aware that popular music is an art form and not a money suppository. He writes from the heart and is one of the last exemplars of a dying breed. The critic, armed with intelligence and brute compulsive honesty, as dangerous as a river.'</b> - <b>IGGY POP</b><br/><br/><b>'Not long ago, Jerome told me something that I find very true: "David played saxophone, guitar, a bit of keyboards, but above all, he played musicians!"

This is the Authorized Official photo book on ABBA, one of the greatest pop groups of the 20th century. The group has sold a stunning 400 million records, and in some markets, the United Kingdom for example, they have sold more records than the Beatles. This 300-page book contains more than 600 pictures. All the classic images are included but also previously unseen pictures by top professional photographers. The book covers not only the stunning career of the group but also tells the story of the four members before ABBA - and what happened after the group broke up, including the international success of the musicals Chess and Mamma Mia.<br/><br/><br/><br/>This revised edition has a brand new chapter on the ABBA reunion, the Voyage album and the show at the ABBA Arena.

On December 31, 2020, the world was shocked to learn about the death of hip-hop legend MF DOOM.

<b>The first and only Estate-authorized biography of the legendary artist, Tupac Shakur, a moving exploration of his life and powerful legacy, fully illustrated with photos, mementos, handwritten poetry, musings, and more</b><br/><br/>Artist, Poet, Actor, Revolutionary, Legend- Tupac Shakur<br/><br/>Tupac Shakur is one of the greatest and most controversial artists of all time. More than a quarter of a century after his tragic death in 1996 at the age of just twenty-five, he continues to be one of the most misunderstood, complicated and prolific figures in modern history. Tupac's unapologetic lyrics, for which he was villainized by many at the time, read in these pages as prophecy. His cry of outrage in a country that repeatedly told Black men and women that their lives did not matter, continues to inspire his fans around the world.<br/><br/>In Tupac Shakur, author and screenwriter Staci Robinson-who knew Tupac as a young man and who was entrusted by his mother, Afeni Shakur, to write his biography-peels back the myths and unpacks the complexities that have shadowed Tupac's existence. With exclusive access to his private notebooks, letters, unpublished lyrics and uncensored conversations with those who knew and loved him best, Robinson tells a powerful story of a life defined by politics and art, and a man driven by equal parts brilliance and impulsiveness.<br/><br/>It is a story of a mother and son bound together by a love for each other and for their people, and the relationship that endured through their darkest times. It is a political story that begins in the whirlwind of the 60's Civil Rights Movement, and takes you through a young artist's awakening to rage and purpose in the nineties era of Rodney King. It is a story of dizzying success and its devastating consequences. And, of course, it is the story of his music, his timeless message that will never die as it continues to touch and inspire past, present and future generations.
