From being transported by the sound of 'True Love' by Bing Crosby
and Grace Kelly on the radio, as a small child living in condemned
housing in ungentrified West London in the late 1950s, to going out
to work as a postman humming 'Watching the Detectives' by Elvis
Costello in 1977, Alan Johnson's life has always had a musical
soundtrack. In fact music hasn't just accompanied his life, it's
been an integral part of it. In the bestselling and award-winning
tradition of This Boy, In My Life vividly transports us to a world
that is no longer with us - a world of Dansettes and jukeboxes, of
heartfelt love songs and heart-broken ballads, of smoky coffee
shops and dingy dance halls. From Bob Dylan to David Bowie, from
Lonnie Donnegan to Bruce Springsteen, all of Alan's favourites are
here. As are, of course, his beloved Beatles, whom he has
worshipped with undying admiration since 1963. But this isn't just
a book about music. In My Life adds a fourth dimension to the story
of Alan Johnson the man.
