The blurb: Chips Moman's genius began in the studio, where he instituted technical innovations that forever changed the recording industry, but it expanded from there with an uncanny ability to recognize hit songs when he heard them as rough demos. Moman often goes under recognised in his contributory role in the very early days of Stax, but carved a production and songwriting career for himself, co-founding American Sound Studio and blossomed with an unsurpassed string of hit R&B, soul, pop and rock records, and rescued Elvis Presley's career with his recordings of "Suspicious Minds" and "In the Ghetto". Not bad for a Georgia country boy who dropped out of school in the eighth grade and hitchhiked to Memphis in search of the American Dream (Paperback, 348 pages, illustrated).
