We invite you to follow and embrace the adventures of this group of bandmates

that embarked on a long, improbable journey navigating through the pop music

world. While these efforts culminated in the number one worldwide hit, Kiss You

All over, there wasn’t a happy ending for the co-founder and leader of the group.

Jimmy Stokley had engineered the group’s progress for fifteen years but was

sadly “Exiled” from the group after their breakthrough. The book, “Exiled – the

Climax and Surrender of Jimmy Stokley” details the excursion through the

struggles and successes of reality in the music world. Now, you will know the “Rest of the Story”!

This fascinating book traces the band's rise to fame and fortune, ultimately achieving success and gold records atop the Billboard Hot 100, plus Stokley’s heart-wrenching fall from the fame he desperately desired and so richly deserved.

By 1968, The Exiles had become a fixture on Dick Clark’s Caravan of Stars and a favorite touring band from Florida to New York City, plus hundreds of other venues from Los Angeles to Washington D.C.

Center stage was Jimmy Stokley, whose magnetic personality and wild, charismatic stage persona fueled not only the music, but also, the libidos of girls in attendance.

Exiled- The climax and surrender of Jimmy Stokley describes the group’s climb from local garage band, to professional musicians grinding out mostly one-nighters for over a decade, and finally to success and gold records at the top of Billboard’s Hot 100 charts. The book also details the pitfalls of life on the road, where sex, drugs, and rock-n-roll wasn’t just a catchphrase- it was a lifestyle.
