Podcasts about is that all there is

Leslie Uggams' long-standing place in American pop culture matches that of any pop diva of similar longevity, going back all the way to her days as a child star on 1950s television variety and game shows. She won a Tony in 1967 for her performance in the musical Hallelujah, Baby, and she was the first African American woman to host her own variety show, the short-lived Leslie Uggams Show, which I, as a little homo-in-training, soaked up like a sponge! These days she's also celebrated for her participation in the Deadpool franchise and other high-profile projects. Today I've decided to shed some light on her status as a pop icon in the late 1960s, focusing on her three albums for Atlantic Records and subsequent releases in the 1970s on Dionne Warwick's Sonday Records label and Motown Records, in other words, the period from just before Hallelujah, Baby leading up to just before her starring role in the earth-shattering 1977 miniseries Roots. Uggams reveals herself to be a versatile entertainer of the first order, performing songs by everyone from Holland-Dozier-Holland to Burt Bacharach, from Jimmy Webb to Waylon Jennings, from Jon Hendricks to Jackie DeShannon, including the very first official commercial release of the Leiber and Stoller song “Is That All There Is,” a year before it became a massive hit for Peggy Lee. The episode ends with a pair of protest songs recorded in 1968. Countermelody is a podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and journalist yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

Welcome to another conversation from the high/low art divide between opera-singer-turned-experimental-performer Ema Katrovas and comedian-and-TV-writer-turned-novelist Nicholas Anthony.  This episode is the second half of a two-part series recorded in New York City - this time, fresh off of our experience of Sleep No More at the the McKittrick Hotel, an immersive theatre experience created by the British theatre company Punchdrunk. So what is Sleep No More? Is it a theatrical experience based on Shakespeare's MacBeth, Alfred Hitchcock's film noir Rebecca, and a real witch trial that took place in 1697 in Scotland, which is how it's advertised? Or is it an aesthetic haunted house? Or is it just an elaborate method of selling cocktails? Let's find out... Sleep No More website: https://mckittrickhotel.com/events/sleep-no-more/ Music: The bar did not end up getting back to me about who was playing live music that night. If I ever find out, will credit the musician/singer here. (If you or someone you know played Scallywags Irish Pub on 9th Ave Between 38th and 39th street late on January 10th, please let me know!) As background for my description of the experience, I used a recording someone uploaded to YouTube after smuggling a recording device into Sleep No More (!) - given that it's been up for a while, it seems the creators don't mind much: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYg0thPEPVw&t=2602s Peggy Lee's rendition of "Is That All There Is?": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sWTnsemkIs Links:

Peggy Lee struck a mournful chord with her hit song, “Is That All There Is?” It was about the vapidity of life, and I found myself subconsciously singing along last week as I pondered the GOP presidential debate.

Listen now (2 mins) | Peggy Lee struck a mournful chord with her hit song, “Is That All There Is?” It was about the vapidity of life, and I found myself subconsciously singing along last week as I pondered the GOP presidential debate.

Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth interview with Singing Legend Peggy Lee's Granddaughter, Holly Foster Wells About Harvey's guest: One of the most popular features of our show is our “Gone But Not Forgotten” series, celebrating the careers and legacies of the greatest stars who are no longer with us.   Today's guest, Holly Foster Wells, is descended from show business royalty.  She's the granddaughter of one of the most popular and beloved music artists of all time: the fabulous Peggy Lee, whose contributions to the world of popular music and jazz were monumental.   Over her 7-decade career, she recorded over 1100 songs and released over 50 albums, with over a hundred top 100 hit singles, including “Somebody Else is Taking My Place”, “Why Don't You Do Right”, “Golden Earings”, “Riders in the Sky”, “Is That All There Is”, “Lover”, and of course, everybody's favourite, “Fever”, for which SHE came up with that distinctive arrangement, AND she wrote new lyrics.    As a matter of fact, Peggy Lee was an extraordinary songwriter, who wrote or co-wrote over 270 songs, including her hits “Little Fool”, “What More Can a Woman Do”, “I Don't Know Enough About You”, “It's a Good Day”, and “Manana”.  For the Disney movie “Lady and the Tramp”, she co-wrote ALL of the original songs, and she supplied the singing and speaking voices of 4 characters.  She also wrote songs for many other movies, including “Anatomy of a Murder”, “The Jazz Singer”, “The Rawhide Years”, “Johnny Guitar”, “Tom Thumb”, “The Heart is a Lonely Hunter”, “The Russians are Coming, The Russians are Coming”, “Walk, Don't Run”, and many more.  She appeared in 10 movies including “Stage Door Canteen”, “The Powers Girl”, “Jazz Ball”, “Mr. Music”, “The Jazz Singer”, and my personal favourite, “Pete Kelly's Blues”, for which she received an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress, and the Audience Award for Most Promising Female Personality of 1955.   Ms Lee received 13 Grammy Award nominations including 1 win, plus a Lifetime Achievement Grammy Award.  She was the first female recipient of 2 awards from the Songwriters Guild of America: the Aggie Award, for her composing skills, and the President's Award, for her support of young, emerging songwriters. In 1990 she won the ASCAP Pied Piper Award, and 2 years later she was inducted into the Songwriters' Hall of Fame.  She received 2 honorary doctorates, a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and in 2020 the ASCAP Foundation established the Annual Peggy Lee Songwriter Award.   Peggy Lee was a creative powerhouse, who directed her life and career on her own terms.  But for her millions of fans, it's all about her quietly captivating voice, that continues to resonate with audiences of all ages. For more interviews and podcasts go to: https://www.harveybrownstoneinterviews.com/ To see more about Peggy Lee and Holly Foster Wells, go to:https://www.peggylee.com/https://www.facebook.com/misspeggylee/https://www.instagram.com/peggyleeofficial/https://twitter.com/peggyleemusichttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWfdzpDGBCOOWxWVR0fLVNw #PeggyLee   #harveybrownstoneinterviews

"Is That All There Is?", a song written by American songwriting team Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller during the 1960s, became a hit for American singer Peggy Lee and an award winner from her album of the same title in November 1969. The song was originally performed by Georgia Brown in May 1967 for a television special. It was first recorded by disc jockey Dan Daniel in March 1968, but this was an unauthorized recording that, while played on Daniel's own radio show, went unissued at the songwriters' request. The first authorized recording was by Leslie Uggams in August 1968. Then came the hit Peggy Lee version in August 1969, followed by Guy Lombardo in 1969 and Tony Bennett on 22 December 1969.[2]Peggy Lee's version reached number 11 on the U.S. pop singles chart — becoming her first Top 40 pop hit since "Fever" eleven years earlier—and doing even better on the adult contemporary scene, topping that Billboardchart. It also reached number six in Canada. It won Lee the Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, and then later was named to the Grammy Hall of Fame.The orchestral arrangement on the song was composed by Randy Newman, who played the piano in the slower introduction section,[3] and who also conducted the orchestra.[4]LyricsThe lyrics of this song are written from the point of view of a person who is disillusioned with events in life that are supposedly unique experiences. The singer tells of witnessing her family's house on fire when she was a little girl, seeing the circus, and falling in love for the first time. After each recital, she expresses her disappointment in the experience. She suggests that we "break out the booze and have a ball—if that's all there is," instead of worrying about life. She explains that she'll never kill herself either because she knows that death will be a disappointment as well. The verses of the song are spoken, rather than sung. Only the refrain of the song is sung.

Peggy Lee's performance makes "Is That All There Is" a classic that spoke to both sides of the generational divide of the 1960s and endures today. Written by hitmakers Lieber & Stoller, arranged and conducted by a young Randy Newman, "Is That All There Is" is the song of her life, and she gave them the performance of theirs. You can hear "Is That All There Is" along with 26 other songs by Peggy Lee that we'll hope you enjoy here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4wdSq3foHXvXeDSqOoiO7l?si=bd9a2acb11924075See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Type 7 — Opportunistic Idealism. The rebellious diplomat. The Variety glutton. End music is Peggy Lee singing “Is That All There Is”

[00:30] Democrats: Republicans Are Fascists (18 minutes) Last week, Joe Biden called Trump-supporting Republicans “a threat to our very democracy” and labeled them semi-fascists. Biden's inflammatory rhetoric, which was backed up by White House spokespeople and emphasized by the media, is curated to spark riots from the right. Ultimately, they are trying to trigger a civil war. America Under Attack couldn't be coming out at a better time. [18:10] Bill Barr Disappoints Yet Again (11 minutes) In a podcast interview with Bari Weiss, Bill Barr said he is frustrated with the right pandering to popular outrage and declared the FBI did nothing wrong when it raided Mar-a-Lago. He also called criticism of the FBI “over the top” and said the FBI and other agencies are not attempting to “interfere in the political process.” Remember that Bill Barr was over the FBI when it plotted to assassinate the governor of Michigan, ran a disinformation campaign to protect the Biden family in the lead-up to the 2020 election, and failed to investigate any fraud in the 2020 election. [29:38] Mar-a-Lago Affidavit (11 minutes) A heavily redacted version of the affidavit for raiding Mar-a-Lago has been released, and even the Wall Street Journal questioned in one article, “Is That All There Is?” One thing the affidavit does reveal is the obvious double standard of justice. Former Trump counselor Mike Davis correctly called the raid “a political hit on a former president.” [40:30] Vaccine Update (15 minutes) In a Fox interview, Dr. Peter McCullough reassured Dan Bongino that only 15 percent of vaccinated people have negative side effects or injuries from the vaccine. Israel, one of the most vaccinated countries in the world, is seeing a 15 percent increase in deaths from all causes in 2021–2022 so far, with death rates higher every month this year than they have been since 2017. Meanwhile, the Food and Drug Administration announced that the latest COVID booster shots would be released before they have finished human testing because they are “confident” they will be safe. Also, it appears that Democrats are now preparing to blame Donald Trump for vaccine failures, saying he pushed the FDA to get the vaccine ready quickly for political reasons.

Mike's daily visit with legendary Dallas/Ft. Worth talk show host Mark Davis of 660AM The Answer has become appointment listening. Here's today's segment: Mike shares with Mark how he watched a documentary called Facing Nolan and what it was all about. The FBI released the affidavit that explained their “probable cause” to justify the raid on Mar-a-Lago. The Wall Street Journal even asked “Is That All There Is?” referring to this affidavit. How about the billboards in California telling people not to move to Texas because of the Uvalde shooting? Plus, Sen. Lindsey Graham said that if Trump is indicted, then there will be riots in the streets. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today, we have the pleasure of speaking to Bruce Turkel once again! Bruce has just published his sixth book called Is That All There Is?. Bruce shares many heart-warming stories in the book about people who have made changes in their lives that are sure to move, motivate, and inspire you! In this episode, Bruce discusses his journey and his latest book. He also talks about change and figuring out what you truly want in life.  We hope that you find our conversation with Bruce Turkel as enjoyable and inspiring as we did! Bruce Turkel's bio Useful. Valuable. Enjoyable. These three words sum up Bruce Turkel's communication philosophy and style. Whether he's helping his ad agency clients develop robust, memorable brands, keeping audiences riveted and entertained during one of his many speaking engagements, writing another compelling post for his popular blog, or giving useful branding and advertising advice on a national news program, he lives and breathes this philosophy. Bruce conveys the importance of building strong brands to his clients, audiences, and readers, and shows them how to build their own brand value. Driven to see clients enjoy greater revenue by changing consumers' perceptions, Bruce employs a uniquely powerful combination of creativity and marketing acumen to help them make their brands more valuable. Bruce follows the fearless business approach of embracing what's new and adopting what works in his quest to provide outstanding value for clients and audiences. How does Bruce create successful campaigns? His first step is to understand what's always in the back of customers' minds – their own needs and wants and what you can do for them.  The personal journey that inspired Bruce to write his latest book Bruce has always been interested in the graphic arts. He studied art and design in college. Then he went to New York to work as an Assistant Art Director for an agency. He returned to Miami, worked for several art agencies, and after a few years, he started a design firm.  The business grew and eventually became a successful brand management firm with clients like Bacardi, Hasbro, Miami Tourism, Nike, and American Express. They even opened offices in Latin America.  After many years, Bruce began to find his business less and less appealing, so he decided to change. Keeping a journal Bruce's successful friends kept picking his brains and telling him how unhappy they were with what they were doing. He wondered why they were all coming to him until he realized they were doing it because they thought what he was doing was creative and fulfilling. His standard answer was to tell them to get a journal, keep notes, and write down their experiences because others might want to know about them. Bruce reinvents himself  Bruce got tired of doing the same thing over and over again. Then, it dawned on him that he was advising everyone else to do what he wanted to do, so he decided to reinvent himself and started focusing on what he truly wanted. One of the things he did was write his latest book to help people who have achieved some level of success in their lives solve the problem of “is that all there is?”. Change The internet, the democratization of information, globalization, and technological advances changed how things work. Almost overnight, anyone could buy anything from anywhere at any time, and competition grew exponentially. Also, with everyone having a smartphone, having specific knowledge about something was no longer a competitive advantage. Waiting  Because the change did not happen overnight, and there have been no cataclysmic results, most people want to wait until something better comes along before they decide to change.  Rethinking Then, the pandemic happened. Supply chains shut down instantly across the world, we could no longer travel, and almost everyone started working from home. That forced people to take a step back and rethink how they were living their lives. Bruce Turkel's book The point of Bruce's book is to give people some proven and actionable recommendations for implementing change in their lives. He advises people not to rush and to make thoughtful changes. We all want the same things Almost all of us want the same things. We want to be happy, satisfied, good providers, and live up to our values. Learning from history We can learn from history. Viktor Frankl wrote the book Man's Search for Meaning. In it, he spoke about what he experienced in concentration camps and explained that when you're powerless, everything you have can be taken away from you. What cannot be taken away, however, is how you respond. The Greek Stoics said the same thing. Know what you want Get to know yourself and what you want, even though that might not be easy to do. Figuring out what you want is usually harder than figuring out how to get it. Bruce has put many exercises he used to help his clients figure out what they wanted in his book. What matters to you? If you keep what matters to you and what your values are in mind, it will help you stay on the right path. That will also help you move forward positively. Changing beliefs Before writing his latest book, Bruce believed he had to focus all his time and effort on running his business, and he had to be the best at what he did. Now, he believes that he has to be the best at who he is. He bases his future opportunities and potential clients on the quote: “People don't choose you because of what you do. They choose you because of who you are.” Connect with Eric On LinkedIn On Facebook On Instagram On Website Connect with Bruce Turkel On his Website Books mentioned: Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl What Got You Here Won't Get You There by Marshall Goldsmith

For Constant Constance's 20th episode, Andrew speaks with James Gavin. James is an author who has been writing for eighteen years now; he is currently finishing a biography of George Michael which is due to be published next Spring 2022 (pub. Abrams Books). As Sheila Weller writes of James, "there is no one who writes as eloquently, knowledgeably, and page-turningly about the midcentury music heroes who sang - and lived - our American story." In this expansive conversation, Andrew speaks with James about the history and stories behind his five previously published books, “Stormy Weather: The Life of Lena Horne;” “Deep in a Dream : The Long Night of Chet Baker,” “Is That All There Is? : The Strange Life of Peggy Lee,” and “Intimate Nights: The Golden Age of New York Cabaret,” and so much more, (including a discussion about a little-known story behind the saxophone solo on George Michael's song ‘Careless Whisper'.) If you're interested in any of these musical greats, history, or anything really, this is an episode for you. This episode of Constant Constance is a long one, as James reads from his biography of singer Lena Horne called, “Stormy Weather: The Life of Lena Horne.” --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/andrew-norman-dangelo/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/andrew-norman-dangelo/support

We have the great pleasure of speaking to an amazing person today! Bruce Turkel, the Guru of Branding, is joining us as our guest! Bruce Turkel is entertaining and educational! He plays the harmonica, and he is a Hall of Fame Speaker from the National Speakers Association. And today, he shares several different points that you can apply in your business to ensure that you connect with your audience on an emotional level before you connect with them intellectually. He tells us about three things that need to happen when you're speaking publicly, he explains how to make your scar your star, and he also tells us about the latest book he is writing. Bruce Turkel's bio Bruce Turkel has helped create some of the world's most compelling brands, including Hasbro, Nike, American Express, Charles Schwab, Citicorp, Discovery Networks, Bacardi, Sol Melia Hotels, Partnership for a Drug-Free America, HBO Latin America, Canyon Ranch, and many more. You might have seen Bruce on TV. Bruce has worked with valuable brands for more than 25 years and is a frequent guest expert on the national news. He appears regularly on CNN International, MSNBC, and NPR. You may have read about Bruce. Bruce has been featured in The New York Times, Fast Company, Communication Arts, AdWeek, and Speaker Magazines. You might have heard Bruce speak. Bruce has spoken at MIT, Harvard, TEDx, and hundreds of corporate and industry conferences. In 2017 the National Speakers Association inducted Bruce into their Speaker Hall of Fame.

Perhaps you heard Bruce playing his harmonica. Bruce fronts the popular Miami R&B band Blackstar. You're about to meet Bruce Turkel, he's sharing some of his simple yet powerful brand-building techniques. Great brands make people feel good about themselves In Bruce Turkel's most recent book, All About Them, he explains that good brands make people feel good, but great brands make people feel good about themselves. Good marketers are talking about their consumers In the days before the internet, you had to tell people everything they needed to know about you. Today, however, people have access to all the information they want, and anyone you're dealing with can find out anything they want to know about you. So, today's best marketers are no longer talking about themselves. They are talking about their consumers. Three options Bruce explains that if you want to become a professional speaker, you have three options. The first is to land a plane on the Hudson River and save 150 people. The second is to be the President of the United States. If you can't do either of those, you will need to put in ten years of hard work. Chosen for who they are People don't choose speakers, meeting professionals, and event managers for what they do. They are chosen for who they are. The point of any talk The point of a talk is to do three things: To be entertaining, to be educational, and to be enlightening. Ultimately, the audience should leave the room transformed and aware of how that happened. Making your customers feel valued Everything you do should be to make your customers, clients, and employers feel valuable. The more valued you make them feel, the more they will want to work with you. The one question event planners need to ask the host If you, as an event organizer, want your job to be easy, just ask your client, “When this event is over, how do you want your attendees to feel? And how should they be thinking?” Making an emotional connection with your audience As a speaker, Bruce advises you to connect emotionally with your audience before making an intellectual connection with them. Bruce gets inside information from people in the audience about their businesses so that he can connect with them emotionally. He does that by taking the time to get to know them, chatting with them, and asking them why they are at the event, what they think of it, and if there is anything about the event that they don't like. This feedback is strategically gathered for the sole purpose of connecting emotionally with the audience. Talk to people about them, not about you Bruce points out that in those conversations, he talks to the people about them, and not about himself. He takes people on emotional highs and lows throughout the conversation so that they feel something because when that happens, they pay attention. Make your scar your star Your liabilities can become your assets. In learning how to turn a negative into a positive, what you consider to be your biggest liability could turn out to be your most endearing quality. Bruce Turkel's next book The title of Bruce's next book is Is That All There Is? The concept of it is that people who have reached a relative level of success and hit a hurdle in their lives need to make a change. In writing the book, Bruce interviewed people who have made a shift in their lives and could tell the story of what happened and why they did what they did, so that the readers can learn what to do when they want to make a change in their lives.

A full track listing is below. Born Norma Deloris Egstrom in Jamestown, North Dakota, she was christened Peggy Lee in 1937 by a local North Dakota deejay. A 13-time GRAMMY® Award-nominee, Peggy Lee helped redefine the female singer with her captivating voice, which continues to resonate with audiences of all ages. Her compositions and recordings, including "It's A Good Day," "I Don't Know Enough About You" and "I Love Being Here With You," can be heard today in countless television shows and feature films.

Over her remarkable seven-decade career, singer, songwriter and composer Peggy Lee wrote over 200 songs and recorded over 1,100 masters.

Have you ever wondered what it's all about?  Or, something (seemingly) substantial happens in your life and the lyrics from the Peggy Lee song, Is That All There Is?, start rumbling through your head?  You're not alone.  Perhaps what is missing is that you're not living and leading from your true purpose.  Well...you are in luck!  This week's guest, Nick Craig, shares his work from his new book, Leading From Purpose, and it completely changed the way I think about the topic.   We talk about how to get past looking at purpose as a strategy or a cause and how to truly live the life you were supposed to live. Get a pad of paper, pencil and get ready to change your life!  Enjoy! More on Nick...

Love is action. - Reverend Beverly Gibson The song "Is That All There Is?", made famous by Peggy Lee, is sung from the disenchanted point of view of a woman underwhelmed by unique experiences of life and even love. Charles Taylor writes about this disenchanted world of secularism and a societal disembodiment of spirituality in his book "A Secular Age". Are these prevalent feeling in our noisy and "more is better" world? Is there a yearning for more epidemic - especially with Millennials? If so, how do we offset this ennui for ourselves and others? On our 15th episode, Reverend Beverly Gibson shares her thoughts and insights on the readings of Elijah and Jesus's miracle of resurrecting a child from the dead. These readings are strong lessons of God's power to "give life back" to us after loss and misdirection-in unexpected, sometimes sudden and shocking ways. We may go through a time in which all joy and the possibility of hope and life seem impossibly beyond our reach. And then something unexpected, surprising happens, and we are "given life back." We can participate in this happening for others, too, if we genuinely have and act on the compassion that Jesus and Elijah shows.   Today's Pulpit To Pew show, lesson and daily take-away is more questions of reflection than answers: Do I (we) bring life to other's? Like Anne Litt's music curation lists for Spotify and KCRW, do I (we) routinely contribute uplifting and surprising things that others normally would not have found? Or, should we do what Peggy Lee suggests: stop worrying about life and "break out the booze and have a ball - if that's all there is"? Readings: 1 Kings 17:8-16 (17-24) Galatians 1:11-24 Luke 7:11-17 Pulpit To Pew is a discussion between priest (Rev. Beverly Gibson) and parishioner (Johnny Gwin) on the weekly lessons and readings.

Mike Stoller has written more than 60 songs that have appeared on the Billboard charts, including the #1 hits “Hound Dog,” “Kansas City,” “Yakety Yak,”  “Searchin’,” “Jailhouse Rock,” “Poison Ivy,” “Stand By Me,” “Young Blood,” “Don’t,” and “Ruby, Baby." After Stoller and songwriting partner Jerry Leiber found early R&B success with recordings by Little Esther, Charles Brown, Ray Charles, and Big Mama Thornton, Elvis Presley turned their song "Hound Dog" into a #1 single on the pop, R&B, and country charts in 1956. Elvis went on to record more than 20 Leiber and Stoller titles, including the hits "Love Me," "Loving You," "Jailhouse Rock," "Treat Me Nice," "She's Not You," and "Bossa Nova Baby." Mike and Jerry signed an independent production deal with Atlantic Records in the mid-1950s, where they wrote and produced a series of hits for several artists, including the Drifters' "There Goes My Baby," "Dance With Me," and "On Broadway." Additionally, the pair wrote and produced all the Coasters' singles, including "Young Blood," "Searchin'," "Charlie Brown," "Along Came Jones," and "Poison Ivy." Other highlights from the Leiber and Stoller songbook include "Love Potion No. 9," which was a hit for both the Clovers and the Searchers, and "Is That All There Is," which was a hit for Peggy Lee. Eleven different versions of their song “Stand By Me” appeared on the Billboard charts over the span of 50 years, with the original version by Ben E. King hitting the Top 10 in both 1961 and 1986. Smokey Joe's Cafe, which included 40 Leiber and Stoller songs, opened in 1995 and became the longest running musical revue in Broadway history. Stoller received the prestigious ASCAP Founders Award in 1991, has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and is a member of both the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Is That All There Is, the Leiber and Stoller song made famous by Peggy Lee, is based upon a short story by Thomas Mann called 'Disillusionment', but those who know and love it feel it's inspirational rather than a cynical, world weary musical take on existentialism and the futility of life. Soul Music finds the compelling individual stories behind our collective love of music. Producer: Maggie Ayre.

Suggs made his name as front man of 80s pop phenomenon Madness and impressed a whole generation with his unique style of singing, silly dancing and fondness for making the mundane the subject of his songs, such as Baggy Trousers, inspired by memories of school. Although his cockney accent is part of his singing style, he was actually born in Hastings and moved to London as a child. His singer mother was perhaps a subconscious inspiration, but Suggs didn't have any particular ambitions in his teens. He dropped out of school and did what a lot of teenage boys do - formed a band with his friends. Madness, a seven-piece gang of friends, became a huge success. Their first single 'The Prince' went to number 16 in 1979 and three years later they had a number one with House of Fun. In seven years they had 20 singles in the top twenty UK chart and travelled the world playing to large audiences. Now Madness occasionally meet up and play their hits list, and Suggs has launched a successful solo career and is also working in TV, hosting Night Fever on Channel 5 and captaining a team on BBC1's A Question of Pop.
