Born to Be A Loser: The Jimmy Donley Story by Johnnie Allan and Bernice Larson Webb is the story of a rock n' roll poet's tragic life. The heartbreaks were real and true - the frustrations and rebellion genuine. Jimmy Donley's story is that of a troubled man giving us songs from the depths of human emotions. As with many of the other "triumph and tragedy" figures of rock n' roll (and creative life in general), for Jimmy recognition and appreciation came too late to save him...he was born to his fate, born to be a loser.
