description: Musician, songwriter, producer, arranger, studio manager and sound man, Ralph Terrana has done it all. And here he tells it all, from the early days with the Glo-Worms and The Sunliners - red hot band that would go on to become the legendary Rare Earth - creating, owning and running the fabled Tera Shirma studios in Detroit, playing with Johnny and The Hurricanes, taking charge of Hitsville USA, home of the world-famous Motown Sound, and working with artists such as Meatloaf and Jeff Beck, producers like Andrew Loog Oldham, and music luminaries including Norman Whitfield, Harry Balk, Holland-Dozier-Holland, Frank Wilson and the Funk Brothers, to a quieter post-Motown life on the West Coast, with his new wife, Jesse. This book is enriched with the flavour of the times, the music and the personalities that provided - and continue to provide - the soundtrack to billions of lives.
