Elvis Presley, Barbra Streisand, Louis Prima, Buddy Rich and many more!
Great Book! I've read many musicians biographies and this one"s the best. In addition to being a world class drummer, Mr. Morris excelled in all facets of the music industry. It's a fascinating account of his associations with the top musicians and biggest celebrities of all time. And the narrative is so warm and natural you begin to feel he's sitting in your living room recounting each experience to you personally! Bobby Morris - My Las Vegas is an absolute must have!

Absolutely The Best! A Well Put Together And Thought Out Book By a True Legend!
This book is an absolutely wonderful read! The foreword by Steve Smith is so sincere and well deserved. I loved the section about Bobby's youth and growing up. The sheer talent and drive that Bobby possesses and shows throughout his life is a true American Dream story. This book is one I would refer to anyone, not just musicians. I'm so grateful to have purchased this and plan to read it over and over again.

Well Written
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. My parents were musicians and my Dad, who was a guitarist, played with several big name bands in the 1940's. I love reading autobiographies that pertain to music. Bobby Morris has lived a very interesting life and I admire him for that. If you are a music fan like me, you will enjoy this book.

Wow! What a life!
Bobby Morris has lived an inspiring life. He has truly lived out the American dream. He immigrated to the U.S. from Poland as a child of a poor family in the 1940s and rose to stardom as one of the country's best drummers and a music agent. He was an agent and/or drummer for almost every big name in the 60s-70s including Elvis Presley, Barbara Streisand, Eddie Fisher, Frank Sinatra, Bobby Darrin and even Ronald Regan! The details of the book really transport you back to this time period and leave you wishing you could've been present for some of Bobby's performances. I highly recommend reading this book.

Charmed, and Boring
By his own account, Mr Morris, led a charmed life. Unfortunately, he was unable to make his readers care. He names names constantly, primarily of people one has never heard of in the past or present.

A Legend in His Own Right
Bobby Morris is a legend in his own right. To have worked with the likes of Louis Prima and Keely Smith, Barbra Streisand, Elvis Presley, amongst others put's him there. This book tells his story, from emigrating from Poland as a 10 year old to come to the United States, shining shoes and aspiring to become a drummer. He left home as a teenager during the Great Depression, eventually settling on Las Vegas, where he owned his own agency and worked with headliners such as Louis Prima and Keely Smith, Frank Sinatra, Bobby Darin, Barbra Streisand, Eddie Fisher, Judy Garland amongst others. This book is a must-read. Five Stars.
