Reviews for Listen Out Loud*
"Listen Out Loud reminded me why Ron Weisner is my brother from another mother. Like me, he's not afraid to do something just because it hasn't been done. This is a must-read for music industry professionals, musicians, listeners . . . Hell, this book is a must-read for anybody!"—Quincy Jones"The passion and loyalty Ron has for his artists, his business associates, and his friends is unmatched. . . . Now, with the music industry in such flux and turmoil, it's the perfect time for Ron to tell his story. There's a whole new generation of representatives, producers, and executives who could stand to learn from his experience. And if they take what he has to say to heart, maybe, just maybe, they can make our entertainment world a little bit better." —Gladys Knight, from the foreword"A memoir of the music business from a manager who worked his way up from the mailroom to managing world-class acts. Superstars praise the producer
the book includes short memories penned by the likes of Gladys Knight, Steve Winwood and Quincy Jones. A matter-of-fact epilogue with advice for up-and-coming stars is sensible. Weisner reserves fondness for the late Michael Jackson, whom he stewarded through the height of his career and about whom he shares previously unknown stories (who knew the inspiration for Michael's uniforms came from punk-pop star Adam Ant?)."
