Recommended New Book - Al Lewis Band Leader Of Tsu's

Hi All

Last year Al asked me if I would write a forward to a book he was writing about his life in the music business and beyond. I said I would be honored to do that, but asked if he could send me a draft. As is often the case with these books there is some trepidation as to the quality of the writing, but when it arrived I was more than happy to add my support.

Al has produced a great read covering his time with The T.S.U. Toronadoes through South Funk Boulevard and his solo career as Alison of 'Who's No1, Who's No2' fame and on to his final few groups. The book starts with his early years, his fathers involvement with Civil Rights and his musical evolution into the TSU's. It gives you a very real feel of what it was to grow up in segregated Texas in the 60's. The book finally comes right up to date and his work as a Pastor and founding member of the Restoration United Methodist Church Mission in Birmingham, Al.

Through out the book there are previous untold stories of his career, the bands and artists he worked with, including Archie Bell, Skipper Lee (Owner of Ovide), Etta James to name a few. I can thoroughly recommend this book as a great and informative read. It comes in two formats through the Amazon self publish program. There is a black & white edition at $13.39 or a coloured one at $32.39. Follow the link here to order and for the coloured version, see comments below.
