When the Devil Smiles the Angels Frown

My Life and Times in Rock 'n' Roll

By: Leo Rossi

Narrated by: Leo Rossi

How a childhood punishment created an impossible dream in the magical world of rock 'n' roll.

They were modern-day pirates, banding together with creative revolutionaries who became the voice of a generation. They are the Knights of Rock, regular guys who had the honor and privilege of working with some of the greatest rock stars during an amazing time in history: the Classic Rock era.

Leo Rossi is one of those Knights. A young Italian Catholic boy from the blue-collar Los Angeles port town of San Pedro, he tripped into an impossible dream and helped mega stars such as Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks, The Beach Boys, Bette Midler, Diana Ross, Chaka Khan, Billy Idol, and many more.

With a devil and an angel on his shoulders, Leo forged life-long skills while he learned the value of sacrifice, hard work, dedication, loyalty, and passion.

Leo’s life story proves that the wildest of dreams do come true.

Leo is a great story teller!

Really enjoyed Rock and Roll stories through Leo. First time I saw Leo was on Discovery Princess cruise in Dec 2023. His enrichment classes on Fleetwood Mac were most excellent. Leo's book was just like his classes and highly enjoyable!

Fascinating look into rock history.

An informative and engaging peek into rock history that felt like sitting down to a conversation with the author. The book is well read and the stories heart felt. I'd love to listen to more!
