Textul de pe ultima copertă
"A dishy, insider look at Berry Gordy's making of the Supremes . . . Ribowsky nicely intersperses some hindsight reflections by the main players . . . In this engaging, vivacious account, Ribowsky energetically and thoroughly underscores the Supremes' significance as one of the first crossover successes."
--"Publishers Weekly" on "The Supremes: A Saga of Motown Dreams, Success, and Betrayal"
"Perfect . . . The virtue of Ribowsky's book is that he brings the story down to earth without sacrificing its drama. Relying on frank and extensive interviews . . . Ribowsky spends time on details other writers have taken for granted."
--Greil Marcus on "He's a Rebel: Phil Spector--Rock and Roll's Legendary Producer"
Nobody would argue that Stevie Wonder had an easy start in life. Blinded within weeks of his premature birth, he was raised in stark poverty and abused by a brutish and alcoholic father who later abandoned the family. Through sheer talent, bold ambition, and a fierce desire for independence, he rose from the streets of Detroit to become a Motown prodigy, and from there to become, arguably, the most innovative, versatile, and influential musician, singer, and songwriter of the past fifty years. "Signed, Sealed, and Delivered" tells the story of Stevie Wonder in fascinating, delightful, and sometimes shocking detail. This powerful biography will have you laughing, crying, grinning, and grooving from beginning to end.

Recenzii
‘…scrupulously researched and solidly written…’ (Hot Press, June 2010). ‘Ribowsky tells the eyebrow–raising tale with the equal amounts of respect and incredulity it deserves.’ (Record Collector, August 2010).
