YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xaXoSd1jVEA BIO: Singer-songwriter Carol Selick traces her coming of age in tumultuous ’Sixties & early ’Seventies in a new autobiographical novel, “Beyond the Song.” Beginning each chapter with lyrics she wrote & still performs today, Selick breezily describe development of her alter-ego, Carol Marks, as she rebels against her strict suburban upbringing & joins the counter-culture, hoping to make it in the music business. Along the way she lands in a series of dangerous situations & narrow escapes – hitchhiking in California at the time of the Manson murders, attending anti-war demonstrations that turn violent, and nearly being arrested when her boyfriend is nabbed in a drug raid. In her journey, she also meets two important mentors who help her sort her priorities & take her goals seriously. One, based on Music Hall of Famer Rose Marie McCoy, helps her develop her considerable talents;& the other, a fictionalized psychoanalyst, helps her establish the self-assurance to stand on her own two feet as well as realize that much of her father’s over-protectiveness stems from losing his family in the Holocaust. The author, who was raised in East Brunswick, eventually graduated from Rutgers & currently lives in Monroe, now performs a repertoire of jazz, rhythm and blues, pop, and her own work. Selick taught piano and voice for many years, & her recordings include “Life Is Believing in You “and “Just Gonna Think About Today.” She appears as a vocalist with her husband, jazz trumpeter & vocalist Gordon James, & performs the bluesy vocals on his 2019 release, “Come On Down,” which has been described as “piping-hot New Orleans fare.” “Beyond the Song” is available thru Amazon and Bookbaby.com. & BarnesandNoble.com.
