Shame! Shame! A Saga of Spade Cooley: King of Western Swing!
by author: Robert J. Joling, J.D.
Shame! Shame! is the true story about the life of Spade Cooley, one of Hollywood's famous bandleaders who was beloved by hordes of country music lovers during WWII and on into the early 1960s. This book tells of Spade Cooley’s arrival in Hollywood and how he committed the most brutal murder to ever occur in Hollywood.
The book highlights the life of a man driven by drugs and liquor to unashamedly beat his first wife and brutally kill his second wife. The stunning descriptions of these horrible abusive events were captured by tape recorded sessions with Spade Cooley’s business manager, “Bobbie†Bennett, who was Spade’s Hollywood agent from the late 1930s until his death in the early 1960s.
Many unedited tape-recorded sessions are found within the covers of this book. The author transcribed these precisely as recorded by investigative reporter, Jonn Christian.
