198722364EGarden City: Doubleday 1987. First Edition First Printing. Signed and inscribed by the author Phyllis Gates to her mother who is referenced in the first chapter ‘My Life Before Rock’. Inscribed: “To Mom Thanks for all your support! I love you Phyllis 4/24/87â€. Illustrated. Near fine copy with some minor handling in a very good dust jacket with some small chips and tears. Gates tells the story of her marriage to actor Rock Hudson whom she met in 1954 and married in November 1955 shortly after Hudson finished filming Giant. They separated a few years later in 1957 with their divorce being finalized in 1958. Rumors of Hudson’s publicly hidden homosexuality as well as the reports of Gates being a closeted lesbian circulated in the media primarily in journalist Robert Hoffer’s biography ‘The Man Who Invented Rock Hudson’ and in the gay and lesbian news magazine The Advocate. Gates 1925 - 2006 steadfastly and publicly maintained that her love of Hudson was real and denied that she was a lesbian. Rock Hudson 1925 - 1985 was the first major public figure to announce that he had AIDS. He is best remembered for his films Giant 1956 Pillow Talk 1959 Come September 1961 and on television including starring in McMillan & Wife with Susan Saint James and on Dynasty as the character Daniel Reece.

Very good. <br/><br/>Original poster for an Afro Rock event at Hull University featuring one of the most important bands of the movement Assagai. Afro Rock which had its strongest incarnation in the UK in the late sixties and early seventies combined Western rock instrumentation with African and Afro-Cuban rhythms and percussion. Assagai featured emegrees from both South Africa and Nigeria as well a Ghana; the lineup included drummer Louis Moholo trumpeter/flautist Mongezi Feza alto saxophonist Dudu Pukwana tenor saxophonist Bizo Mngqikana guitarist/bassist Fred Coker their chief songwriter and Terri Quaye — the first professional female congaist in the UK. Assagai issued just two highly-reguarded albums both in 1971 on Vertigo Records one of the few if not the only all-black band signed to that legendary rock label and this poster dates from that peak. While they broke up shortly after this gig the members went on to long careers in various other jazz and prog groups. A striking poster from this significant but poorly documented group.
