Today we're going back in time when the spotlight was on a man whose saxophone melodies and bandleading prowess made dance floors come alive, the incomparable Larry Elgart. Larry, along with his brother Les, didn't just play music, they crafted the theme that got America's feet moving, the “Bandstand Boogie,” the unforgettable tune of “American Bandstand.” When big band music began to fade, Larry improvised a new sound, characterized by tightly synchronized sax and brass sections and a lighter rhythm section. This fresh new approach called “Hooked on Swing” brought him back into the limelight. And on this day in 1982 “Hooked on Swing” was a top 20 album on the Billboard charts.
Como seguramente ninguno de Ustedes sabe, es en el cine y no en la televisión que estas producciones sientan sus bases y que surgieron como una forma ideal de suprimir las apariciones de los artistas musicales en la televisión en vivo que generaban mucho más gastos y dolores de cabeza. "Top Of The Pops" o "Ready Set Go" en el Reino Unido y "American Bandstand en EEUU", fueron pilares de la promoción de los primeros videos en TV, para luego llegar el legendario MTV, y de ahí para acá, todo es historia. Esta semana, les comentamos de corridito una opinión de los mejores videos musicales de los 70´s, hasta la actualidad. Además, las noticias del Imperio, saludos reglamentarios y una pequeña dosis de divague. Corre videotape!

Bo DonaldsonTake a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Bo Donaldson. Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods had the number one song in America in June of 1974; with the timeless hit "Billy, Don't Be a Hero". They also had hits on the charts all throughout the 70's. In this episode, we chat about how he got into music, and how his band came to be. Bo shares great stories about his mom deciding that she was going to meet Dick Clark and get him to make her son's band famous.... and then she did it! We also discuss some of the band's early days, where they opened for The Osmonds for over 300 shows. I pry just a bit into Bo's personal life and try to get to the bottom of some of the rumors about him dating Valerie Bertinelli before Eddie Van Halen. Along the way, we chat about each of the charting hits for the band, other fun Dick Clark stories, some previous guests of this show, Bo's real age, and why on earth he likes Cincinnati's Skyline chili so darn much! Plus, he lets me play their number one hit, as well as a little-known television show theme song the band wrote at the request of Dick Clark. Bo Donaldson and The Heywoods are still playing occasional shows in and around Southern California, and they are even playing a show in Buffalo, Ny in July. Check BoDonaldsonAndTheHeywoods.com for everything about the band; including new music, and tour dates.

Years ago, on the iconic American Bandstand show, TV legend Dick Clark stuck a microphone in young Bruce Sudano's face and asked, “What is your musical ambition?” The teen fans who filled the audience didn't have to wait long for Bruce's answer: “I want to perform in Madison Square Garden.” It happens that Sudano, then a member of a trio named Brooklyn Dreams, had already played in that fabled venue a few years earlier, opening with his band Alive ‘N Kickin' for Eric Burdon and War. But in ways that were then beyond his imagination, he achieved much more than that one gig in the Garden. He continued to love playing live shows but his true passion quickly became songwriting. Back then, Sudano cultivated a style that combined pop and soul sensibility with jazz-worthy polish. Sudano's journey provided ample inspiration for his new album Talkin' Ugly Truth, Tellin' Pretty Lies. It begins in Flatbush, where his father helped kindle his curiosity about music. “He used to have a jukebox route,” Sudano says. “He'd come home at the end of the week with a box of 45s. The thing that always intrigued me, even more than the singers and musicians, was the names under the title in parentheses – the songwriters.” His career in music began when he co-founded Alive N Kickin'. They released one hit single, “Tighter, Tighter,” which peaked at No. 7 on the Billboard charts in 1970. Tommy James (“Hanky Panky,” “Mony Mony,” “Crimson and Clover,” “I Think We're Alone Now”) wrote the tune and co-produced the album. Sudano had written much of the band's repertoire, but it was James's mentorship that helped him to elevate his work. His focus intensified as his songs were picked up and recorded by some of the major artists of the day, including Dolly Parton, Reba McEntire and Michael Jackson with his brother Jermaine. But his most fruitful association dates from 1977, when Brooklyn Dreams was hired to provide background vocals for Donna Summer on her album I Remember Yesterday. In 1980, their relationship blossoming beyond the studio, Donna and Bruce married. The fusion of their professional and personal lives boosted each one's creativity as they co-wrote her world-wide smash hit “Bad Girls,” as well as “Lucky,” “On My Honor,” “Can't Get to Sleep at Night” and “Starting Over Again,” which Dolly Parton recorded and lofted to No. 1 on the Billboard Country Music Charts. Tragically, Donna succumbed in 2012 to cancer at age 62. Though shattered by her passing, Sudano understood that even in the depths of sorrow, seeds of creativity continue to grow. “Suddenly I was in a new situation,” he says. “I didn't have Donna to write for anymore. I was at the age where I'm not gonna put another group together. Instead, maybe I could be the singer/songwriter that I didn't take the opportunity to be before. Out of the deep hurt of the situation, I felt challenged to continue to be an artist. That's an essential element, to continue to be challenged, to be forced to go to other places, to feel other things, to know you're not stagnating.” This great loss in his life opened the door that led ultimately to a period of creative growth, releasing 6 albums and numerous singles in the last decade, and now Talkin' Ugly Truth, Tellin' Pretty Lies.

Legendary TV personality Don Cornelius was born in Chicago on Sept. 27, 1936. Before becoming the iconic host of "Soul Train," Cornelius began his career as a substitute DJ and on-air personality at a radio station. He later transitioned to television, working as a sports anchor and host of "A Black's View of the News" on WCIU, where he pitched the concept of a music show dedicated to African-American artists. Using $400 of his own money, Cornelius created the pilot for "Soul Train," inspired by Dick Clark's "American Bandstand." The show premiered on Aug. 17, 1970, and became nationally syndicated the following year. Cornelius passed away in 2012 at the age of 75. Learn more about your ad choices.

CHRISTOPHER LAWRENCE (Costume Designer) drew inspiration for his design career while putting together looks for he and his dance partner on the beloved “American Bandstand.” He then started working at the trendy boutique Camp Beverly Hills where he began cultivating a clientele of actors, directors and, most importantly, Costume Designers. Christopher caught his first break in the wardrobe department on two iconic television series, “Moonlighting” and “Pee Wee's Playhouse.” He then decided that designing feature films was his true passion, and he quickly developed relationships with some of the world's most celebrated Designers such as Ellen Mirojnick and Albert Wolsky. Before he knew it, Christopher had created his path in features, working on such films as “City Slickers,” “Beaches” and “Bugsy,” the latter of which garnered the Academy Award® for Best Costume Design. Christopher came up through the ranks in the wardrobe department and quickly became one of the industry's top Costume Supervisors. In 1999, Michael Mann recognized Christopher's talent and promoted him to Associate Costume Designer on “The Insider” (Al Pacino, Russell Crowe), and Christopher has been designing films ever since. Some of the credits that followed were “The Anniversary Party” (Gwyneth Paltrow, Kevin Kline), “Showtime” (Robert De Niro, Eddie Murphy) and “S.W.A.T.” (Colin Farrell, Samuel L. Jackson). Christopher has become a favorite of Jason Statham, having designed “The Mechanic,” “Cellular” and “Crank” and is a longtime collaborator with film director Simon West, most notably on the Capital One “What's In Your Wallet?” Viking campaign, which won the Costume Designers Guild Award - Best Commercial Costume Design. Christopher teamed up yet again with Michael Mann on two additional projects, including the feature film “Texas Killing Fields” (starring Sam Worthington, Jessica Chastain and Chloe Grace Moretz). Christopher served as costume designer on the Jennifer Aniston film, “Management,” and from sketch to fabric he designed all of Miley Cyrus' Hannah Montana costumes for “Hannah Montana: The Movie,” from which dolls, Halloween costumes and sportswear were created for the tween market. “The Space Between Us” reunites Christopher with director Peter Chelsom who directed the Hannah Montana movie. Christopher was the costume designer for the first three seasons of the popular Showtime series “Ray Donovan,” for which he was twice nominated for a Costume Designers Guild award. It was his fifth nomination, having won twice for his commercial work. Recently, he was the Costume Designer for Bill Burr's OLD DADS.
Lou Christie was a Star and a Hit Machine in the 1960s with his distinctive falsetto voice and songs like “Lightnin' Strikes” (a #1 smash), “The Gypsy Cried”, “Two Faces Have I”, “Rhapsody In The Rain”, and More. He was featured in Dick Clark's Cavalcade Of Stars and on all the major music television shows including Where The Action Is, Hullabaloo and American Bandstand.My featured song is “My Baby”.

His book, The Power of Differentiation, aims to inspire companies to win hearts, minds, and market share by engaging their people meaningfully. --- Help Your People Find Meaning with Barry LaBov Good day, listeners. Steve Preda here with the Management Blueprint. I'm interviewing today Barry LaBov, the owner of LaBov and Beyond Marketing, helping companies go to market through a dealer or distributor network by training and inspiring their people. He's also the author of the upcoming, The Power of Differentiation. So, Barry, welcome to the show. Steve, thank you. I'm a big fan and it's an honor to be here with you today. So I'm ready to have a lot of fun. Well, hey, we're going to start with a really fun journey that you had because you were a rock musician turned entrepreneur. So, two questions here. One is how the heck a rock musician becomes an entrepreneur, especially in a field different from their own, because some rock musicians are really good entrepreneurs selling their music. And secondly, what is your personal Why and how does that connect to what you do? Well, that's a great question. I wanted as a young boy to be a rock and roll musician. I wanted to write songs. So, at a very early age, I learned how to play drums. Then when I hit maybe 10 years old, I learned how to play keyboards. My dad showed me four different kinds of chords on an organ, and I figured out how to do that. So, I was in a band with my brother. I played drums and keyboards, keyboards with my right hand. And by the way, it did not sound very good, I guarantee it. But I was 14 years old, my brother was 12. He's on guitar, I'm singing, he's singing, and we're playing in a two-man band. From that, I recorded songs, wrote songs of mine, played in bands for the next 10 or so years, had songs on American Bandstand, the Billboard charts, and had songs published by Barry Madelow and Natalie Cole. We had a song on American Bandstand that actually did well that day. So all of that, but I have to say with all humility, my music, Steve, sold well under 1 million copies. So I was not making a killing at that. But what happened was I then started to write jingles, those irritating little ditties. And here's how I went from being a rock musician to running a marketing company. I was writing jingles and doing what's known as audio work, recording work for companies. And North American Van Lines, very large moving company here in the United States, called me up because I had done a little work with them. And they said to me, Barry, we want you to take over our marketing department. We're going to sell it to you and we will give you a three-year contract for all of our marketing. And being the great entrepreneur I was, Steve, I said, no I don't think so. I don't think I'm really a marketing guy. I'm a music guy. But I'm going to give you the names of all these different companies locally to help you out. And they went, okay. Well, they called me again, Steve. And they called me and called me and called me again. Then one day, about a year later, they called me up again and said, Barry, we want you to buy our marketing department and become our marketing agency. Please do it. And I said, I've given you the names of all these other companies. I've begged you to talk to them. Why are you coming back to me? And he said, well, we've talked to those companies, but Barry,

Let's wrap up our review of The Krofft Supershow, a super-silly Saturday morning TV show from mad geniuses Sid and Marty Krofft. The second season brought us two weird new segments: Magic Mongo (in which a goofy genie crashes a bikini beach party) and Bigfoot and Wildboy (in which a Sasquatch and a kid with no pants battle aliens and Peter Brady). The show was still hosted by wacky rock band Kaptain Kool and the Kongs, and we also review their appearances on American Bandstand, Donny and Marie, The Brady Bunch Variety Hour, and a Saturday Morning preview special with the Bay City Rollers. Of course our favorite Kaptain Kool and the Kongs member is Superchick, played by Debra Clinger, and we conclude our look at Debra's career beyond the Krofft world. Debra appeared on classic 70s/80s TV series like Barnaby Jones, The Hardy Boys, The Love Boat, and Hart to Hart. She starred in her own short-lived series The American Girls, alongside a future Three's Company star. She starred in the silly cult classic movie Midnight Madness, alongside a very young Michael J. Fox. And she even worked on a couple of our beloved Rankin/Bass Christmas specials. Also: 70s Hollywood power couple Lee and Farrah! Yogi Bear in space! Teen runaways and women in prison! The secret of the Dorse! A love connection on the set of Airwolf! Superchick meets the Snow Miser! Superchick meets Colonel Sanders! Krofft Supershow comic books! And the upcoming Super Megafest convention in Massachusetts, with some very special Krofft guests. So join us for more fun Krofft talk here on the Flopcast, where anything goes down, where most of what appears isn't true. The Flopcast website! The ESO Network! The Flopcast on Facebook!

Get ready to step into the ring as we explore the electrifying tag team of professional wrestling and rock and roll in this episode of Prisoners of Rock and Roll. We're going to take a look at the iconic rock and wrestling era of the late 80s, when the WWF superstars climbed out of the ring and picked up the mic to record TWO albums of them singing: 1985's The Wrestling Album and 1987s Piledriver: The Wrestling Album II. And we're going to talk about how Cyndi Lauper helped bring wrestling into the mainstream. Then we're going to check out some iconic entrance music from wrestling history, and listen to some other albums that wrestlers have put out over the years. We've also got some weird stuff.

GRAMMY® Hall of Fame Honoree Iconic Hit Writer: "At The Hop", "Rockn Roll is Here to Stay", "You Don't Own Me" "1-2-3" & MoreJohn Madara was born & grew up in Philadelphia, PA at a time when the city was teeming with groups and artists such as The Spaniels, the Clovers, Harvey and the Moonglows, Billy Ward and the Dominos and the great Jackie Wilson. Rock and Roll was starting to take root and John Madara was destined to make rock and roll history. In 1957, John launched his solo career, with his first record, "Be My Girl," reaching the national charts. That same year, John co-wrote with Dave White a song called “Do The Bop." On the advice of Dick Clark, whose local show, American Bandstand, had just gone national, the title and lyrics were changed to “At The Hop." Danny and the Juniors, recorded it, and by Christmas of 1957, it had reached the top of the pop and R&B charts worldwide. “At The Hop” remained #1 for an astounding 7 weeks, the first record ever to reach that success, and it has remained a rock and roll classic to this day. Following “At The Hop," John produced and co-wrote with Dave such mega-hits as “The Fly” (Chubby Checker)“You Don't Own Me” (Lesley Gore) among other smash hits. He also produced for Danny and The Juniors, “Rock and Roll Is Here To Stay." He also discovered one of the most prolific duos of all time, Daryl Hall and John Oates. With them he produced two albums. John moved to L.A. in the ‘70s, where he found success writing and producing for movies and television. He produced the soundtrack for the James Caan/Marsha Mason movie, “Cinderella Liberty," and also produced the title song for the Cliff Robertson movie “Ace Eli and Roger of the Sky.” In the mid ‘70s, he was music supervisor for the hugely successful “Sid and Marty Kroft Comedy Hour." This was in conjunction with an ABC Comedy Hour and network special which launched the new ABC season Madara/White songs have reached millions of people through radio, films and television. Worldwide sales of their songs and productions have reached over 2 hundred million records. Their songs have appeared on some of the biggest grossing soundtrack albums of all time, including “American Graffiti” and “Woodstock” (At The Hop), “Grease” (Rock and Roll is Here to Stay), “Hairspray” (The Fly and You Don't Own Me), “Mr. Holland's Opus” (1-2-3), and “Dirty Dancing” and “The First Wives Club” (You Don't Own Me). It was the 1996 hit film, “The First Wives Club," that paid the contemporary power of their talent the ultimate compliment by not only featuring “You Don't Own Me” but by making it the theme of the movie. John has continued to write and produce music, working with young, up-and-coming artists. At The Hop” was voted by the Recording Industry Association of America as one of the top 100 songs of the century. The soundtrack album, “Grease," was voted one of the top albums of the century. “Rock and Roll Is Here To Stay” is featured on that album. John recently finished producing an album with Tony Danza, following a hugely successful radio hit single that he also produced, “The House I Live In.” He is also working on a feature film, “At The Hop.” In 2016, his song with the late singer ,songwriter Dave White "You Don't Own Me" was made a #1 Hit all over again 19 year old Australian singer " Grace" and features G-EAZY. It was Produced by Quincy Jones.~ thatphillysound.com© 2024 Building Abundant Success!!2024 All Rights ReservedJoin Me on ~ iHeart Media @ https://tinyurl.com/iHeartBASSpot Me on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/yxuy23baAmazon Music ~ https://tinyurl.com/AmzBASAudacy: https://tinyurl.com/BASAud

This week we welcome one of the greatest musicians alive, bassist Jah Wobble! Jah first rose to prominence in PIL alongside John Lydon on their first two groundbreaking albums.

In this conversation we discuss artists as diverse as Sinead O'Connor, Ginger Baker and Suggs. In 2023 alone he released several new projects, the main one being his new solo album, A Brief History of Now. Jah joins us to discuss all of it (as much as we can fit anyway) including that infamous American Bandstand appearance, the late great Geordie Walker, getting sober, Buddhism, and everything in between.

“Forwards” For more than 40 years the Welsh band the Alarm have been one of the most consistent acts on the planet, playing songs with conviction, heart and belief. With almost 20 studio albums under their belts, along with a discography that includes live albums, box sets and EPs, The Alarm are one of those bands where you pretty much want everything they put out. From albums like Declaration to Strength to their brand new one Forwards, The Alarm are a completist's band. Speaking of Forwards, it's a remarkable record—singer/songwriter Mike Peters has never sounded better, his voice alive with muscle and belief. The Welsh band have had a remarkable career that's filled with endless highlights-- they toured with U2 and Bob Dylan, played at Queen's Live at Wembley concert in 1986, been on IRS's the Cutting Edge and American Bandstand, had hit singles all over the world even cracking the Billboard Top 50 here in the States, and wrote a song that became the official Welsh anthem for Euro 2020. This is a band that's all about community, support and they remain as vital as ever. www.thealarm.com www.bombshellradio.com www.stereoembersmagazine.com www.alexgreenonline.com www.embersarts.com Stereo Embers: Twitter: @emberseditor IG: @emberspodcast Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com
