Meet Brother Love…

What do a white Jewish man from Brooklyn and a bald black man from Charleston, West Virginia, have in common? One listen to the voice of Theron Denson will answer that question.
From humble beginnings to homelessness, from living with the Pointer Sisters to singing on the street corners of Washington, DC, and from performing to patrons in pizza joints to millions of viewers via national television, Theron Denson has followed his dream of becoming the Black Diamond, the world’s only African American Neil Diamond tribute artist.
This heavily illustrated biography, based on 150 personal interviews, covers Theron’s triumphs, tragedies and sheer fortitude as he continually beats the odds, traveling from coast to coast while using his vocal gift to transform himself into the Black Diamond.
Theron hopes that, like his show, this book will allow people to “blend” and forget about their differences for a few hours. For a man who wishes us all to celebrate our similarities, he is a truly unique human being. He is entertaining, thought-provoking and inspirational.
