Casablanca was not a product of the 1970's, it was the 1970's. From 1974 to 1980, the landscape of American culture was a banquet of hedonism, and no person or company in that era was more emblematic of the times than Casablanca Records and its founder Neil Bogart. From his daring first signing of kiss, through the discovery of Donna Summers, the Village People and funk master George Clinton and his circus of freaks- Parliament Funkadelic- to the descent into the manic world of disco, this book charts Bogart's meteoric success and eventual collapse under the weight of uncontrolled ego and hype. It is a compelling tale of ambition, greed, excess and some the era's biggest music acts.
