With a tagline of “My Improbable Journey from Stage Lights to Executive Heights,” Giant Steps is a memoir by renowned executive Derek Shulman, detailing his journey “from 1960s pop fame with Simon Dupree & The Big Sound to cult status as frontman of progressive rock pioneers Gentle Giant, and later as a record executive who signed and developed global acts like Bon Jovi, Dream Theater, and Slipknot.” It’s a fascinating tale that allows us to see Shulman transform from star to star-maker before our very eyes. There’s a foreword by the iconic Tony Visconti, and what follows is a compelling read.
