Book Description
John Oates was born at the perfect time, paralleling the birth of rock ‘n roll. Raised in a small Pennsylvania town, he was exposed to folk, blues, soul, and R&B. Meeting and teaming up with Daryl Hall in the late 1960s, they developed a style of music that was uniquely their own but never abandoned their roots. John uncovers the grit and struggle it took to secure a recording contract with the legendary Atlantic Records and chronicles the artistic twists and turns that resulted in a DJ discovering an obscure album track that would become their first hit record. This is not your typical rock and roll story. John was focused creating great music. Along the way he achieved incredible success, battling the ever-changing pop music landscape and coming to terms with complex managerial, business, and personal challenges. Daryl Hall and John Oates have over 20 albums together, more than 60 million records sold, and 29 Top 40 hits. They are the most successful pop duo in the world and members of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. And yet John’s story has never been told. Relying on his many hand-written journals, he brings to light many fascinating stories spanning his entire life with a journalist’s eye and a poet’s heart. In Change of Seasons, John shares his highs, lows, triumphs, and failures. He takes the reader on a wild ride through all the eras, personalities and music that has shaped him into what he is.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Roll of the Seasons: A Book of Nature Essays The natural year is a ring which can be said to begin and to end nowhere. The diarist is most likely to open his notes on the first of January, because that is the day on which his artificial year opens. As soon as the winter solstice is past we look for signs of waking on the part of flowers and more animate creatures, yet many of them begin their new round of life as soon as the hush of autumn has fallen. The time of the aconite's high summer is commonly called winter. Spring, according to the calendar, does not come till after the snowdrop has blossomed and set its seed. Summer isthe autumn of a very large part of the floral world and the winter of many spring insects. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
