Before there was hip hop, there was DJ Kool Herc.
On a hot day at the end of summer in 1973 Cindy Campbell threw a
back-to-school party at a park in the South Bronx. Her brother,
Clive Campbell, spun the records. He had a new way of playing the
music to make the breaks--the musical interludes between
verses--longer for dancing. He called himself DJ Kool Herc and this
is "When the Beat Was Born." From his childhood in Jamaica to his
youth in the Bronx, Laban Carrick Hill's book tells how Kool Herc
came to be a DJ, how kids in gangs stopped fighting in order to
breakdance, and how the music he invented went on to define a
culture and transform the world.

In June 1989, Paul Du Noyer was contacted by Paul McCartney's
office in London and asked to interview the star as they had met
once before and enjoyed a good raport. In the years that followed,
Paul Du Noyer continued to meet, interview and work for Paul
McCartney on a regular basis, producing magazine articles, tour
programmes, album liner notes, press materials and website
editorial. It's likely that Du Noyer has spent more hours in
formal, recorded conversation with McCartney than any other writer.
Conversations with McCartney is the culmination of Du Noyer's long
association with McCartney and his music. It draws from their
interview sessions across 35 years, coupling McCartney's own,
candid thoughts with his observations and analysis.
