Number One Songs in Heaven by Dave Thompson
Since the moment they emerged into the mainstream in 1974, armed with the hit This Town Ain't Big Enough for Both of Us, the band Sparksbrothers Ron and Russell Maelhas endeared themselves to successive generations of fans, not only with their wry humor and quirkiness, but also with a lyrical and musical inventiveness that sees them listed among the most influential acts ever. Exclusive interviews and insights trace the group from its earliest strivings in California up tothe present, while author Dave Thompson's unique eye for period detail and context reveals just how intelligently Sparks has predicted the course of popular music over the past quarter century. Afull worldwide discography, including albums, singles, and audio-visual material, make it a must for Sparks fans everywhere.
