You didn't need to know their last names for these teen idols to rock your world. A first name alone was enough to provoke screaming, fainting, and unprecedented cases of mass hysteria. Their name on the cover of a fan magazine - David! Rick! Leif! - was enough to get you to buy it if only to kiss their picture inside. They had your heart, and all it took was a song and a wink from their baby blues . . . right . . . at . . . You.
From Elvis to *NSync, Donny Osmond to Debbie Gibson, and David Cassidy to Ricky Martin, this book takes a glance at the past few decades of teen scream objects. It's an inside peek into the world of a teen idol - from garnering the first #1 hit to gaining the love of millions - and what happens to careers once the loving stops.
Check in on today's boy bands and girl bands that started a craze, and some of the heart-stoppers from the '70s and '80s who made it out of idoldom with their dignity intact. Relive your teen years without the brain-dulling hormonal rampage you went through way back when. Dip into this book and check out the serious business of being a fan.
