Key Changes: A Musical Memoir: Revised and extended 2020 edition

Opis:

An extremely frank, personal account of the highs and lows of show business, from post-war Twice Nightly Variety to the present day. In the 50s and early 60s Denis King was a member of Britain’s first boy band, The King Brothers. Since then he has composed over two hundred TV themes including ITV’s award-winning “Black Beauty” and collaborated with numerous theatre legends to write over twenty-five stage musicals, “Privates On Parade”, among them.Denis King’s career has encompassed every aspect of show business from singing and performing to producing and composing, he has experienced success alongside disaster and betrayal, and the artists with whom he has worked read like a who’s who of British and American stage and screen.But Key Changes is not a potted history or a lengthy name-drop, it is actually an intimate portrait of the grind as well as the glamour in what most people outside the entertainment industry wrongly assume is a charmed way to earn a living. Denis is a witty anecdotalist; the stories he tells are funny, poignant, and eye-opening.“I’ve known Denis King for many years but in spite of that I would strongly recommend this book.” Barry Cryer“Denis King changed my life. I remember seeing the King Brothers on TV and I thought, ‘Yes! I could do that!’ but I was too tall. So I had the operation and the rest is history.” Bill Oddie“His skills as racy raconteur and dry-as-a bone humourist are as legendary as his tinkling fingers and classic compositions.”Maureen Lipman“‘Standing on The Corner’, yes, one of the great records of that year. Or that month, certainly. I remember the King Brothers as some of the liveliest, freshest, most exciting, oddly—attractive young men I’d ever seen on TV. I know Elvis borrowed a lot of tricks from the King Brothers.” Michael Palin“Denis is a trusty friend, a favourite collaborator, a fine musician and a true original. Though what exactly he was originally, I really couldn't say.”Alan Ayckbourn
