From a tiny office and studio in Florida, he co-wrote the Royal Guardsmen's Snoopy vs. the Red Baron, America's fastest-selling single of 1966. He revived the career of singer Dion DiMucci with the ballad Abraham, Martin and John -a million seller. He discovered and produced hit records for Lobo, Jim Stafford, and the Bellamy Brothers. Through a long collaboration with music business icon Mike Curb, he launched to fame many others, including country superstars Tim McGraw and Rodney Atkins. In Nashville and Los Angeles,

was a legend. Yet
Gernhard
's private life was crumbling. He battled physical and emotional demons that he simply couldn't overcome, struggling with alcoholism, drug addiction, and a bad past with his father. He filed for his fourth divorce just months before taking his own life in 2008. Through interviews with

's musicians, business partners, family members, and ex-wives, Bill DeYoung offers an intimate portrait of a brilliant yet troubled man who channeled his talent, ego, and ambition into the success of others. A true record man,
Gernhard
did it all. He lived to make records into gold, to make unknowns into stars, and above all, to make music."--Publisher's description.
