Inside Flap:
ROCK ON: The Illustrated Encyclopedia of rock n' Roll by Norm N. Nite

Now completely updated to include all the latest information on the lives and music of the artists, Rock On (Volume II) remains the authoritative book on rock n' roll from 1964 to 1978, the years of change.

This comprehensive book examines in alphabetical order (from Abba to ZZ Top) the lives and work of all the rock stars whose recordings between 1964 and 1978 made the top 100 on the pop charts.

Each of the more than 1,000 entries contains biographical information; data on instruments played, vocal position in the group, and recording career (including the most important albums); and a discography containing the names, dates, and record labels of all chart singles recorded by the group or solo artist.

More than 250 photographs show the stars as they looked in their heyday. An appendix of lesser known (but equally important) artists and an index of song titles complete the book.

In addition to rock n' roll artists, the author includes the outstanding country, popular, disco, and novelty artists whose songs made the top 100 during the years of change.
