Larry Elgart

Offering out-of-the ordinary tales, The Music Business and the Monkey Business by Lynn and Larry Elgart shares a range of experiences and characters. Humorous and bittersweet with gossipy vignettes, it explores the struggling days of the 1940s with the brothers Elgart trying to work in business together. It tells how Larry became the more famous brother with the mega hit Hooked on Swing and narrates what it was like to be an overnight sensation at age sixty. From the high seas to the Outback, Lynn and Larry give insight into their whirlwind life and music career.

With photos included, The Music Business and the Monkey Business offers a glimpse into being a musician for seventy five years.
