The book "Dewey and Elvis: The Life and Times of a Rock 'n' Roll Deejay (Music in American Life)" will be available in paperback on April 10, 2010.
Synopsis:
"Cantor's biography offers more than the story of an underappreciated disc jockey and his relationship to Elvis. Woven throughout the book is thoughtful, original, and illuminating research on the social history of race and how notions about racial identity and geographical space informed the ways in which the segregated white and black residents of Memphis interacted and were involved in one another's musical cultures and social spheres."--The Journal of Southern History
