Creator of taste. My life with legends and geniuses of rock music

Tony King was the confidant and muse of the world's greatest artists — from the Beatles to Elton John and the Rolling Stones. Finally, he tells his own story.
"Creator of Taste" is a journey through the unique life of a man who has been at the heart of the most iconic moments in music history for over sixty years.

Sixteen-year-old Tony King, after graduating from school and starting a career at Decca Records, will become a close friend of Elton John, ignite the relationship of John Lennon and Yoko Ono, mediate the quarrel between Mick Jagger and Keith Richards and spend time with Freddie Mercury in the last days of his life.

Tony was one of the leaders of the London and New York gay scene in an era of rapid social, technological and cultural change. Along with the frenetic life in show business, he witnessed the brutal discrimination of people living with AIDS and its devastating consequences: the death of family, friends and the crushing burden of responsibility that he was called to keep it all under control.

Deep, full of sincere warmth and unsurpassed charisma of Tony King, the book "Creator of Taste" paints an intimate portrait of the musical legend and the difficult world in which he left his special mark.
