InHolding the Note, David Remnick writes about the lives and work of some of the greatest musicians, songwriters, and performers of the past fifty years"-- - Random House, Inc.

The greatest popular songs, whether itâs Aretha Franklin singing âRespectâ or Bob Dylan performing âBlind Willie McTell,â have a way of embedding themselves in our memories. You remember a time and a place and a feeling when you hear that song again. In Holding the Note, David Remnick writes about the lives and work of some of the greatest musicians, songwriters, and performers of the past fifty years.
He portrays a series of musical lives and their unique encounters with the passing of that essential element of music: time. From Cohenâs performing debut, when his stage fright was so debilitating he couldnât get through âSuzanne,â to Franklinâs iconic mink-drop at the Kennedy Center, Holding the Note delivers a view of some of the greatest creative minds of our time written with a lifetimeâs passionate attachment to music that has shaped us all.
