"A must for any biography collection focusing on the history of music."

"If you're at all interested in the sounds that echo around you, day-in and day-out, as you make your way around Miami, this little volume makes for a very handy companion. It's also quite an enjoyable look back at a legend. And if one thing doesn't get you; the other will."

"We must express our gratitude to Radanovich for spending several years to locate and interrogate the surviving family members and musicians involved in the Wildman of Rhythm's saga, while seeking out rare recordings and little-known photographs in order to tell the story (for the first time in the language of Shakespeare) of the one and only Benny More."
