Cassius X. A Legend in the Making - the latest book by Stuart Cosgrove, official publication date 3rd September, available to order now! £14.99 hardcover. In stock and available via A Nickel And A Nail. Miami, 1963. A young boy from Louisville, Kentucky, is on the path to becoming the greatest sportsman of all time. Cassius Clay is training in the 5th Street Gym for his heavyweight title clash against the formidable Sonny Liston. He is beginning to embrace the ideas and attitudes of Black Power, and firebrand preacher Malcolm X will soon become his spiritual adviser. Thus Cassius Clay will become ‘Cassius X’ as he awaits his induction into the Nation of Islam. Cassius also befriends the legendary soul singer Sam Cooke, falls in love with soul singer Dee Dee Sharp and becomes a remarkable witness to the first days of soul music. As with his award-winning soul trilogy, Stuart Cosgrove’s intensive research and sweeping storytelling shines a new light on how black music lit up the sixties against a backdrop of social and political turmoil – and how Cassius Clay made his remarkable transformation into Muhammad Ali.

Agree completely. As a freelance writer working in music / biographies, I'm 100% for thoroughly researched, documented and presented music media, and to share that information with the customer. Whether it's as part of the on-line promotion, or part of the package presentation / liner booklets etc, it's all about preservation of soul music history, and shows the customer that the label cares about their product. And of course from a commercial perspective, adds value. Ace / Kent have always had this sorted, and is a major part of their appeal and respect. There are other opportunities which I genuinely believe are as yet under-exploited by the industry, such as literature based on the research which could be used to support the launch of a series or box-set of (eg) CD releases. Books / booklets / ebooks and other formats could provide another income stream to support the product and capture the genre-specific record buying market, as well as external reader markets interested in wider music history. Invest to save. I'm for hire...
