Cousin Brucie's Saturday Night Rock & Roll Party

Cousin Brucie prepares you for the blizzard ahead with the best oldies from the 50s, 60s and a touch of the 70s.

Cousin Brucie interviews Sandy Yaguda, a founding member of the iconic pop group Jay and the Americans. The dialogue traces the band's evolution from their teenage origins as the Harbor Lights in Brooklyn to their mainstream success facilitated by early radio airplay. Yaguda shares fascinating behind-the-scenes stories regarding the group's naming history, their transition through different lead singers—specifically the shift from Jay Trainer to the operatic Jay Black—and their creative independence after moving on from producers Leiber and Stoller. 

Cousin Brucie gives you the best of the 50s, through the 70s on Valentine's Day.

Cousin Brucie and singer Tony Orlando celebrate Valentine's Day by sharing stories of romance, family, and lifelong friendship. Their conversation highlights the unique cultural identity of New York, specifically through a humorous debate over why the city's water makes its pizza and deli food superior to that of California or London. Orlando discusses his holiday traditions and the personal significance of his hit cover of "Cupid," which he dedicates to the host and all long-term couples.

Cousin Brucie interviews Merrilee Rush. The conversation serves as a Valentine's Day tribute, transitioning from nostalgic stories about her musical evolution—from a classically trained pianist to a rock and roll performer—to a vulnerable discussion regarding her recent health struggles involving brain surgery. A lighthearted highlight of the exchange explores the joy and authenticity found in her accidental, laughter-filled phone greeting, which the host views as a testament to her resilient spirit. 

Bruce Morrow gets you ready for your Saturday night with everything from the 50s, 60s and a touch of the 70s.

John Kay reflects on his journey from a childhood in Germany to becoming the frontman of Steppenwolf. He recounts how hearing early American rock and roll inspired him to immigrate to North America, where he eventually formed the band from the remnants of a previous group. The discussion explores the origins of the band's name and the stories behind iconic hits like "Born to Be Wild" and "The Pusher." Beyond his musical legacy, Kay details his current dedication to philanthropy through the Maue Kay Foundation, which focuses on wildlife conservation and global education. He encourages listeners to protect the environment and shares information regarding his podcast and a recent documentary about his life.

Frankie Avalon joins Cousin Brucie to reflect on a career spanning over six decades and his enduring connection with his audience. Avalon discusses his latest venture into podcasting, a platform he values for its ability to share personal stories and historical anecdotes, such as his upcoming collaboration with Pat Boone, rather than writing a traditional book. The conversation highlights his cinematic legacy, specifically the creation of the iconic Beach Party films and his deep, respectful friendship with his late co-star, Annette Funicello.

The discussion highlights her early success as the lead vocalist for The Teddy Bears, featuring the story of how she collaborated with Phil Spector on the global hit "To Know Him Is To Love Him."

Cousin Brucie and singer Tony Orlando explore the centrality of "heart" in both live performance and broadcasting. Orlando credits his mentor for teaching him that genuine emotional connection is more vital than technical polish, noting that his transition into radio allows him to maintain a sincere bond with his audience during retirement. The conversation pivots to a tribute to Neil Diamond, with Orlando announcing a special broadcast dedicated to Diamond's musical legacy and the new film A Song Sung Blue. 

Cousin Brucie speaks with Gary Lewis about his enduring musical legacy and his upcoming "My Generation" tour alongside other 1960s icons. Lewis reflects on his remarkable achievement of securing seven consecutive top ten hits, a feat he shares with tour mates The Lovin' Spoonful, and discusses the instrumental role of Leon Russell in arranging and co-writing his early success. The conversation also explores Lewis's personal life, including his experience being drafted into the Army at the height of his fame and his relationship with his father, Jerry Lewis, who was initially unaware of his son's recording career.
