Detroit, Michigan - 1957: A gifted young man's basement recording studio, in a house on a quiet block of a northwest neighborhood, serves as ground zero for one of the most exciting - and elusive - rockabilly records ever made. With cool bearing, rock'n'roll singer Vic Gallon helps set teen-aged guitarist Dennis Coffey - a future member of the Motown Records ""Funk Brothers"" studio band - on a path toward greatness ... and then disappears. The story ends there, until you pick up this book!
