Fredric Dannen - Hit Men; Power Brokers and Fast Money Inside the Music Business (1991).pdf

Power brokers and fast money inside the music business. Copiously researched and documented, Hit Men is the highly controversial portrait of the pop music industry in all its wild, ruthless glory: the insatiable greed and ambition; the enormous egos; the fierce struggles for profits and power; the vendettas, rivalries, shakedowns and payoffs. Chronicling the evolution of America’s largest music labels from the Tin Pan Alley days to the present day, Frederic Dannen examines the depth the often venal, sometimes illegal dealings among the assorted hustlers and kingpins who rule over this multi billion dollar business.
