"How did Mae West influence a Motown hit? What theme song earned millions and millions for the writer? Who was the drummer on the hit song, "Dancin' in the Streets"?

The Saturday Morning Song Chronicles: Memoirs, Motown, and Music is more than a book. Paul B Allen III has written a musical encyclopedia, with artist biographies, a primer on how the music business works and a video catalog all in one… a feast for music lovers of jazz, R&B, soul, Motown, pop, disco and more… This book is a treasure trove of stories about great artists… [Allen] paints nuanced pictures of the artists as people with all their faults, foibles, kindnesses, personalities and histories… Lucky for us, he shares his vast musical and insider knowledge in this fascinating book." – S. Tuffin. Book reviewer for the Lawrence Technological University library.

"Allen's book is purely and simply, GENIUS." - Earle Holder – Music Mastering Engineer and Grammy judge.
