Everyone loves a good Rock & Roll memoir, especially when that tale starts from humble beginnings and reaches unimaginable heights. When a compelling story bridges from one person's account into the lives of some of the biggest names in the business? It becomes Rock & Roll legend. Carlo Driggs had worked with some of the most iconic bands and artists in the history of rock, and his narrative is a fascinating glimpse into that world. He was the founding member of Chicago's rock legends and The Rolling Stones opening band KRACKER; his first success in the major leagues of rock and the first band signed to Rolling Stones Records label. In 1978 his band, Foxy, charted with the hit song, "Get Off," which Carlo co-wrote that went on to gold and platinum status. In 1983 he became Paul Revere and the Raiders' lead singer where he remained for over twenty-one years. Carlo shares with you his life story, from his early days in Cuba, his emigration to the United States, early mistakes, as well as his success that took him on a rocky forty-seven years on the road as one of the first Cuban American rock stars in United States history. A rags to riches, living the American Dream tale, with bumps along the way! Carlo opens up about the music business, his love life, how he put his first child up for adoption and their fairy-tale reunion, his disillusionment with the industry he loved, new ventures he had unfolding, all the way up until his untimely death just as his book was nearing completion. Carlo's life has something any fan of the world of Rock & Roll would love.
