From the rear cover: "The 1975 release of Patti Smith's debut album HORSES signalled the start of a cross culture career full of passionate commitment, abrupt gear changes, and unlikely collaborations. Arthur Rimbaud, Robert Mapplethorpe, Sam Shepard and Bruce Springsteen are just a few of the names that were to become associated with the Patti Smith legend. She has toured with Bob Dylan, opened for the New York Dolls, written songs for movies and still produces albums of arresting originality. Now Nick Johnstone, respected music journalist and long time Patti Smith fan, unravels the story of the artist from Chicago who mixed poetry, underground theatre, rock & jazz - and who played a key role in shaping the New York Punk scene in the mid-Seventies. From the home town experimental poems through street performance in Paris to high times in New York's Chelsea Hotel and the quiet years in Suburban Detroit with her husband Fred 'Sonic' Smith. the Patti Smith Story is full of unexpected twists & turns. In the first comprehensive biography ever, Nick Johnstone makes fascinating sense of a complex creative life, unearthing a wealth of biographical detail to reveal a pre-punk pop icon in a brand new light. The result is a compelling insight into the life and times of a woman who always refused to be pigeon-holed - even by her own extraordinary success.". First Printing of the First Edition. Softcover.
