Farag writes candidly of
Catholic school and being a gang member, of working as a merchant
seaman, steelworker, and private eye before finding his niche in the
music business, of life on the road as a performer and promoter of
Oldies concerts, and of his collaborations with Rock 'n Roll Hall of
Famers; Bo Diddley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Fats Domino, Pookie Hudson, the
Temptations, Little Anthony, Del Shannon, and many more. Stormy
Weather is still going strong, making White House appearances, putting
out award winning Children's CDs, and singing Christmas Carols. Candid
and moving, The Signal is a love story of a man for his family
and his music. Historian Ronald D. Cohen has called it an intimate
insider's account which should be must reading for doo-wop fans and
Fifties historians alike; Published by Indiana University Northwest.
