A half-century of pop music: Mr. Mancuso's Opus
By Jeff Simon, News Critic.

The Buffalo News / Sunday, Feb 25, 1996

Say Chuck Mancuso's book was a movie in mid-hype. They'd have known how to do it in the '50s — with corny, inyour-face screaming and bedeviling exclamation points. Sparing the exclamation points (which always look like bewildered ants on a page), they'd say: l6 years in the making. Thirty thousand dollars out of pocket. A cast of thousands.

And none of it would be hype. It's all true.
