New York 1957At their wedding reception, larger-than-life songwriter Doc Pomusáis sitting with his new bride, the glamorous Broadway singer-actress Willi Burke. Stricken by polio as a child, he is unable to walk without crutches, and as the dancing gets underway he takes her hand andátells her to go and have fun and dance with the other guests.Reluctantly she does, and as he sits there watching her dance witháother guys, he takes a napkin and scribbles down the words 'DonâÇÖt forget whoâÇÖs taking you home and in whoâÇÖs arms youâÇÖre gonna be...'áOnce wedded to a melody composed by his songwriting partneráMort Shuman, 'Save the Last Dance For Me' went on to become aáchart-topping hit for the Drifters in August 1960.This is just one of many stories behind some of the greatestá(and not so great) songs ever written.áThis unique book relates those stories and charts the careers of hundreds of songwriters, together with a comprehensive listof all their songs that made the US and UK chartsáin the decade that would change pop music forever.
