From the rock'n'roll pioneers of the 1950s to the pop superstars of the 21st century - as well as lesser-known, boundary-pushing innovators with undeniable influence, this collection features music greats such as:
- Chuck Berry, founding father of rock'n'roll who lit the flame of teenage rebellion in 1950s America and was himself never far from trouble
- Christine McVie, reserved, intelligent singer and songwriter for Fleetwood Mac, whose album Rumours was one of the biggest-selling of all time
- Jimi Hendrix, American singer and songwriter who expanded the range and vocabulary of the electric guitar into areas no musician had ever ventured before
- Amy Winehouse, singer and songwriter with an astonishing voice and talent, her career was tarnished by drugs, alcohol and scandal
- Freddie Mercury, flamboyant singer and songwriter who achieved worldwide fame as the lead vocalist and pianist for the rock band Queen
- Elvis Presley, singer known as "The King" and remembered as one of the earliest and greatest exponents of rock'n' roll music
- Nina Simone, tempestuous soul singer, who enjoyed a 50-year career, but left America because of racism
- David Bowie, rock superstar who had a profound impact on popular music and culture during 50 years of continuous artistic innovation
- Dusty Springfield, shy, soulful, smoky-voiced singer whose songs and beehive hair became enduring symbols of Swinging London
- Shane MacGowan, hard-drinking frontman of Celtic punk band the Pogues who was hailed for his raw talent and masterful songwriting

Authoritative, insightful and endlessly engaging, this collection of music biographies is a must-read for music fans and anyone with an interest in fascinating life stories.
