Juke Box Hero by Scott Pitoniak
The son of a sheet-metal worker who led a big band on weekends, Lou Gramm rose from humble, working-class roots in Rochester, New York, to become one of rock 'n' roll's most distinctive and popular voices. With the aid of best-selling author Scott Pitoniak, Gramm poignantly recounts how he realized his dream as the lead singer and co-songwriter of the iconic band Foreigner as well as his own band and overcame a drug and alcohol addiction--along with a life-threatening brain tumor--on his path to the Songwriters Hall of Fame.New York City, N.Y.
