LOS ANGELES - eTradeWire -- 70-Year Entertainment Veteran Bruce Belland Marks 90th Milestone with Explosive Backstage Memoir, Famous... But Unknown

Founding lead singer of Capitol Records' The Four Preps reveals the unvarnished, hilarious, and never-before-told real-life encounters with legends including Betty White, Brian Wilson, Leonard Nimoy, Phyllis Diller, and many more celebs!

Celebrating his milestone 90th birthday, multi-Emmy-nominated television producer, songwriter, screenwriter, and founding lead singer of The Four Preps, Bruce Belland, announces the worldwide release of his new insider memoir, Famous... But Unknown: The Surprising Side of Stars You Thought You Knew (Shadow Bee Productions).

Across a seven-decade career that began as a teen pop sensation in the late 1950s—scoring million-selling international hits like "26 Miles (Santa Catalina)" and "Big Man"—Belland later transitioned behind the camera as an accomplished television writer, variety show producer, and studio executive. That unique dual vantage point gave him unfiltered, backstage access to twentieth-century entertainment titans away from publicists, cameras, and curated press personas.
