Sly Stone's passing. The leader of the fun and funky 1960s/70s group Sly & the Family Stone died from lung disease and left behind him some extraordinary music as well as an enigmatic legacy. Today it was announced by his family that Brian Wilson, founder of the Beach Boys and the musical brains behind beloved hits like “Good Vibrations,” “God Only Knows,” “California Girls” and many others, has died. The cause of death is unknown at this time, but he was placed under a conservatorship in May 2024 due to his declining health. Music historian Scott Shea states that, “These were two California visionaries who both came from musical families and their individual musical heritages helped shape a movement in the 1960s. We may never anything like this again. They will be missed.”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Welcome to The Not Old Better Show, the podcast for those who believe life gets better—and even sweeter—with age. I'm your host, Paul Vogelzang, and today we're diving into the soul-stirring legacy of two musical giants whose voices, harmonies, and vision shaped the very sound of a generation: Curtis Mayfield and Jerry Butler. If you grew up spinning 45s on your record player or gathered around the radio to hear those smooth, soaring harmonies, then you already know that Mayfield and Butler weren't just voices—they were storytellers, activists, and pioneers of a sound that broke barriers. Together, they helped shape the golden age of soul music, and their influence continues to inspire generations. But did you know that before the world knew them as soul legends, they were just two young men from Chicago's Cabrini-Green projects, united by gospel music, ambition, and a dream of something bigger? Today, we'll uncover the fascinating story of how Jerry Butler and Curtis Mayfield met, formed the Impressions, and created hits like the unforgettable “For Your Precious Love.” We'll also explore why Jerry's path ultimately led him to go solo—and how Curtis turned his heartbreak into a revolutionary career that brought soul music into the Civil Rights Movement. Joining us today is returning guest Scott Shea, a writer and expert in music history, whose latest article brings these incredible stories to life. From Curtis Mayfield's genius as a songwriter to Jerry Butler's powerful, underrated baritone, we'll reflect on their journey, their struggles, and their lasting impact on American music and culture. This one's for the music lovers, the memory keepers, and anyone who remembers the days when a song could soothe your soul and spark a revolution. So grab a cup of coffee or tea, sit back, and let's celebrate the legacy of two legends who reminded us all to “Keep on Pushing.” I'm Paul Vogelzang, and this is The Not Old Better Show. Let's get started.

On September 12, 1966, at 7:30pm ET, the Monkees television sitcom debuted on NBC and, overnight, a manufactured television rock and roll group was beamed into American living rooms and onto the pop culture scene. Known affectionately, or disparagingly, depending on your point-of-view, as a "manufactured image with no philosophies," the Monkees supplemented their TV stardom with nearly a dozen actual hits on the pop charts and became a sensation to mostly pre-drivers license teenagers and adolescents. Author and music historian Scott Shea believes that this talented musical foursome was the real deal, that their music continues to have broad appeal and rode all the trends of the mid-to-late 1960s rock scene. They even elicited a few. In his recent article for the Strange Brew, Scott makes the case of why the Monkees should be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. I would like for you to consider having Scott G. Shea, leading music historian and author of the best-selling book, “All the Leaves Are Brown: How the Mamas Came Together and Broke Apart,” on your program to talk about this controversial topic. The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame has been pretty good at blackballing other deserving artists and Scott says the question of the Monkees inclusion will continue to follow them until they do the honorable thing. The group is still popular today, their songs are still played on radio, TV and in movies and have sold over 75 million records worldwide. In his Strange Brew article, Scott refers to the arguments against their inclusion as archaic and borne out of outdated biases. Whether you agree or disagree, he'd love to chat with you about it.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Welcome to The Not Old Better Show on radio and podcast, I'm your host, Paul Vogelzang. Today, we're turning back the clock to the summer of 1965, a time when music wasn't just entertainment—it was a revolution.

We'll explore how this six-minute masterpiece managed to captivate a nation and why its impact still resonates nearly 60 years later.Scott brings a wealth of knowledge not only as an author but also as a longtime radio producer, currently working onSiriusXM's ‘Seize the Day' with Gus Lloyd. His expertise will give us a unique perspective on why ‘Like a Rolling Stone' was more than just a song—it was a cultural moment.

Few songs have captured the contradictions and ambiguities of the 1960s as memorably as “California Dreamin',” the iconic folk music single that catapulted the Mamas & the Papas into rock and roll history. In All the Leaves Are Brown, author Scott Shea details how John Phillips, Denny Doherty, Michelle Phillips, and “Mama Cass” Elliot became standard-bearers for California counterculture, following their transformation from folk music wannabes to rock sensations and chronicling the tumultuous events that followed their unexpected success. Shea gives a definitive account of the group's short time together, from their hitmaking approach with legendary producer Lou Adler to John's unique songwriting to tours and friendships with other musicians riding the folk-rock wave. He explores the emotional vicissitudes that came with being in the Mamas & the Papas, from Cass's unrequited love for Denny, his affair with Michelle, and the ebb and flow of dysfunction in John and Michelle's marriage. And he explains how it all came to a crashing end with John's brainchild, the Monterey Pop Festival, which should have launched the group even further into the musical stratosphere, but only served to be their undoing. Drawing on new interviews with former bandmates, session musicians, family members, and many others, All the Leaves Are Brown is a layered, revelatory tale of overnight stardom and its many pitfalls.

For our Not Old Better Show audience on radio and podcast, we know that there are only a few songs that have captured the contradictions and ambiguities of the 1960s as memorably as “California Dreamin',” the iconic folk music single that catapulted the Mamas & the Papas into rock and roll history. In the book, All the Leaves Are Brown, our guest today, author Scott Shea will tell us how John Phillips, Denny Doherty, Michelle Phillips, and “Mama Cass” Elliot became standard-bearers for California counterculture following their transformation from folk music wannabes to rock sensations and chronicling the tumultuous events that followed their unexpected success. Scott Shea gives us a definitive account of the Mamas and the Papa's short time together, from their hitmaking approach with legendary producer Lou Adler to John Phillips' unique songwriting to tours and friendships with other musicians riding the folk-rock wave. You'll love this story, interview and all the music, so please join me in welcoming to The Not Old Better Show on radio and podcast, author Scott Shea.

This episode is very personal to me. My guest for this show is my brother, Scott Shea. He's written an in-depth biography of The Mamas and The Papas. But don't think he's on just because he's my brother. There's no nepotism on this podcast! It's really a fascinating read. And Scott road to getting it published is a true DIY story. The book gives the backstory for all four members of The Mamas and The Papas and how they met. There is so much detail and stories that I've never heard; like how much of a juvenile delinquent John Phillips was and just how toxic he and Michelle were together. There's the unrequited love of Cass Elliot for Denny Doherty and their band, The Mugwumps claim to fame. I had no idea that when Denny joined up with John to play in the pre Mamas and Papas band, The New Journeymen, he thought it was taking a step backwards from the rock and roll he wanted to play. But he had bills to pay. There's also John's ridiculous reasons for not wanting Cass Elliot in the band, and they may not be what you think. Scott's book, All The Leaves Are Brown, How The Mamas And The Papas Came Together And Broke Apart, is available through Backbeat Books.
