Find the Truth Behind the Loss of a Loved and Talented Artist in 1969

'A Song For You' is a moving story of love and tragedy—and honest revelations.

Xlibris, the print-on-demand self-publishing services provider, announced today the release of A Song For You – The Quest of The Myddle Class. Authored by Kathy West, this book tells a long-time girlfriend’s heartwarming story of a first love sadly lost to tragedy.

The shocking 1969 killing of the uniquely talented guitarist of the popular group, The Myddle Class, as a young co-ed remains a curiosity to many. A jealous menace among the crowd took his life, ending the ripe dreams of a coveted New York area band once called “the greatest group on the east coast.” But what really happened? In A Song For You, readers can relive the rise and fall of a popular mid-60s “garage band” that was entangled in a compelling web of love and intimate relationships among legends of the music industry. This story is told by eyes inside a circle of brilliant yet conflicted young singer-songwriters and musicians revealing what came before the fame of prominent friends left behind in Los Angeles to become industry icons in the early 70s.

A Song For You is available in paperback, hardback, and eBook formats. For more information on this book, interested parties may log on to www.Xlibris.com.
