Imprint - ONCE A KING, NOW A PRINCE

From a childhood that might make Stephen King, whose writing style is similar, shudder just a bit, comes a writer with a story of his career in the music industry. Most baby boomers have loved the sounds of at least one, of Ira ‘s clients. “Once A King, Now A Prince”, walks you through history to relive the great personalities whose music made all of us who we are.”
– Doug Dahlgren, Author and Radio host

“I first met Ira in 1969, touring with Savoy Brown. I was really impressed with Ira’s knowledge of all things music, as was Lonesome Dave. It took a lot to impress Dave. We were invited to Ira’s home for dinner and music. We had the best time! Ira looked out for us, a rare commodity in this world of music. Thank you, Ira!”
– ROGER EARL, FOGHAT

“I’ve known Ira since 1974, when he boosted Rush’s career as co-manager. I remember Ira as one of the most influential booking agents out there, and few people knew more celebrities than he did. Ira’s long and fascinating career deserves a book about it-and I’m so glad he decided to write one!”
– Donna L. Halper, PhD, Music Director WMMS Cleveland

“Rory’s hunger for touring and performing live required a powerhouse agent to match my brother’s appetite. Ira delivered that. But most importantly, in him, we also had a trusted friend.”
– Donal Gallagher, Manager Rory Gallagher

“We have a good truth, Ira. We all tore up the country quickly and laid much of the groundwork for the industry of today. Pacific led to Avalon..a cornerstone acquisition to..Live Nation.”
– Sepp Donahower, Concert Promoter

“Ira was Nazareth’s first American booking agent, and although at that time he was already handling some of the biggest names in Rock, when he came to see us, he always made us feel as if we were the only band on his books.
You could say he treated us like Kings when we weren’t even Princes, and I’ll never forget that.”
– Pete Agnew, Nazareth.
