SynopsisMeet Billy Mays. You know, the TV and cable pitchman for Oxiclean, Zorbeez, Mighty Putty, WashMatic, Kaboom! and a host of other products that just made life easier for millions. Billy's real story, from his birth in '58 to his funeral in '09-the story of the son, husband, father, and friend-is written by Bill Mays Sr., who tells you about the behind-the-scene Billy he loved so much. Billy's upbringing was humble, but he was surrounded by a loving family of longtime Pennsylvania residents. His father filled a whole suitcase with memories, mementos, photos, and news clippings that detail Billy's short life. He wasn't always the guy with the full beard; he was an infant, a schoolboy, a teenager, and then a young adult who worked his way from pitching products at county fairs and flea markets to the top promoter on the Home Shopping Network and the owner of a custom-built mansion in Odessa, Florida. Everyone wanted him as a pitchman, and his popularity, voice, and image ended up eclipsing the products he sold. He became a celebrity in his own right, making various appearances including both Jay Leno's and Conan O'Brien's Tonight Shows. Billy was a remarkable person with a level of energy that defies description-or imitation. Give a big thumbs-up for Billy Mays! Book jacket.
