COLEMAN'S
STATUS as Melody Maker editor in the early seventies made him the
perfect rock'n'roll author to handle a project on Rod. More than
anything, he always had time for the consumers of the music and
respected the views of the fans he was writing for. This book was
well underway to be the definitive Rod Stewart biography. Ray was
a clever writer, well respected in the business and had all the
necessary contacts. Most importantly, he was enthusiastic and genuinely
loved the music he was writing about. In other words, Ray was no
George Tremlett and would have never considered a book about an
artist whose work he did not admire. The book became a triumph.
Any future biography needs to build on this one.
