Amber Communications Group, Inc.'s imprint Colossus Books has
published Before the Legend: The Rise of New Kids on the Block
and...a Guy Named Maurice Starr - The Early Years, a remarkable
true story as told by author and former record producer Tony Rose,
the primary architect along with Maurice Starr of the
Roxbury/Boston Black Music Scene. On July 20th, 21st, 23rd and 24th
at a sold out Giants Stadium, (1990), the New kids On The Block
with their record producer and manager Maurice Starr, made a
triumphant entrance into new York city. Their lives had been filled
with hard work, determination, dedication, confidence, success and
many failures, but they never lost their belief, love, and loyalty
for Maurice Starr and one another. Theirs is a history filled with
respect for people of all backgrounds, cultures and colors. This is
the true story of the mean streets of Boston, its rappers, singers
and dancers; the funk, pop, blues, rock and soul..the back alleys,
down south and the recording industry. Five working-class boys
living in the "blue collar districts" of Boston, called North
Dorchester and Jamaica Plain, and a record producer from the black
ghetto of Roxbury would go to the dizzying heights of the music
world at a speed so phenomenal, that it shattered all existing
record sales and concert tour sales. From the bottom, to the top,
this is the true, undoctored, hard-hitting, fact-filled story of
Donnie Wahlberg, Jordan Knight, Jonathan Knight, Danny Wood, Joe
McIntyre.............. New Kids On The Block.........and a guy
named Maurice Starr. "Come with me and let me tell you the true
story, the real story, the only story. I was there.."Tony Rose.
