In this book of original interviews, 32 of the era's most celebrated singers, songwriters, producers and industry professionals share fascinating memories of their lives and careers during this extraordinary time. They include Thomas Anders (Modern Talking's "You're My Heart, You're My Soul"), Pete Burns (Dead or Alive's "You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)"), Desireless ("Voyage Voyage"), Phil Harding (PWL Mixmaster), Junior ("Mama Used To Say"), Leee John (Imagination's "Just An Illusion"), Liz Mitchell (Boney M.'s 1988 "Megamix"), Fab Morvan (Milli Vanilli's "Girl You Know It's True"), Taco ("Putting On the Ritz"), Jennifer Rush ("The Power of Love"), Sabrina ("Boys"), Spagna ("Call Me"), Amii Stewart ("Knock On Wood"), Yazz ("The Only Way Is Up") and many more.
