Her on-air approach and singular voice have influenced the sound of rock radio for more than four decades, and her satellite and syndicated \u003cem\u003eGet the Led Out\u003c\/em\u003e programs are heard nationwide. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eUp All Night\u003c\/em\u003e, Carol spins the entertaining, moving, and revealing story of her life and times in rock radio and beyond. A nice Jewish girl from Queens, Carol was supposed to be a doctor or, at the very least, a lawyer. But hearing a doo-wop trio in the alley under her window changed the direction of her life forever: she fell in love with popular music.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e As the tumult and excitement of the sixties rocked colleges across America, Carol—a biology major at the University of Pennsylvania—became an underground rock DJ at the campus radio station. Radio jobs in Philadelphia and New York City quickly followed, and Carol rose to the top of the profession. But even as she enjoyed a professional and personal life imbued with rock and roll glamour, Carol harbored guilt, disappointment, and alienation, believing she'd failed her traditional, intellectual Jewish parents and often feeling like an outsider in the very culture she had helped to create. The specter of an unnamed illness that had claimed many of her relatives' lives hung over hers as well, and she too would face a monumental challenge when diagnosed with breast and uterine cancer. Told in the distinctive voice that has charmed millions of listeners for decades,\u003cem\u003e Up All Night\u003c\/em\u003e is a frank, funny, and inspiring memoir. Offering snapshots of the rarefied world of pop music and the shifting social history of our times, it is as much a cultural chronicle as it is one woman's candid and moving story.\u003c\/p\u003e | \u003cp\u003e“Radio legend Carol Miller…the sultry-voiced and still-fabulous airwaves icon…is a beloved veteran of…classic rock.” - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Post\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“[Miller’s] voice drew a generation of teenage boys to their radios.” - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ecco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44887929454821,"sku":"NP9780061845246","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780061845246.jpg?v=1730227761","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/up-all-night-my-life-and-times-in-rock-radio-isbn-9780061845246","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
