The Ballad of Tommy LiPuma

Captures seven hit-making decades during the American recording industry's glittering, freewheeling years.

Tommy LiPuma was one of America's most influential record producers, whose work with icons like Miles Davis, Barbra Streisand, and Willie Nelson has sold 75 million records, with five trips up the Grammy red carpet. It's a real-life Horatio Alger adventure, with bootleggers, gangsters, artists, and hipsters. Includes photos and discography.
