Up all night

The all-American chronicle of radio legend Carol Miller, from her rise to success in a male dominated world, to the rock stars she's known along the way, to, for the first time, the private story of her quietly waged battle with a deadly illness. As one of the nation's top radio DJs, Carol Miller introduced the music of Bruce Springsteen to the New York airwaves, was on a first-name basis with Sir Paul McCartney, dated Steven Tyler, and has been recognized by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Her on-air approach and singular voice have influenced the sound of rock radio for more than four decades. Offering snapshots of the rarefied world of pop music and the shifting social history of our times, her autobiography is as much a cultural chronicle as it is one woman's candid and moving story.--From publisher description.
