Three cousins, inseparably bonded through music. Each became a star; their story would become a legend. J. D.

With three personal journeys set alongside important landmarks in pop-culture history, Davis presents a unique tale of American music centered on the trials, tribulations, and achievements of three men who remain truly Unconquered.
