Ronnie Lanes story is that of a working-class kid who started his musical career busking a ukulele at the age of eight. As a young man he signed with legendary manager Don Arden, who paid him in paisley shirts. He then enjoyed a phenomenal 17 consecutive Top 40 singles, womanising and LSD, and fell under the spell of a mystic before joining forces with Rod Stewart. Ronnie was later diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, moved to America, went broke and died far too young. Drawing on extensive research and interviews with friends and family, Caroline and David Stafford unearth the truth and talent of the man behind the music.

David and Caroline Stafford are London-based writers who have released a number of biographies with Omnibus Press, including Cupid Stunts: The Life and Radio Times of Kenny Everett (2014) and Maybe Im Doing it Wrong - The Life and Music of Randy Newman (2016). Their book on Lionel Bart, Fings Aint Wot They Used TBe, was a Radio 4 Book of the Week.
