I have studied Billboard magazine to learn who wrote what song since I was 14 years old and my Dad got me my first subscription. This book has all of that information and also describes the rich history of the top songs in pop music. I never dreamed I would be one of these number one pop hit writers. I am honored to be a part of this book. I love it. Good job, Fred! DIANE WARREN
