Ep 154Peter & Jeremy: Peter Asher (Peter & Gordon) And Jeremy Clyde (Chad & Jeremy) Talk About The British Invasion Era, Paul McCartney, George Martin, And We Do Two Songfests. A Smashing Episode!

Peter Asher (Peter & Gordon) and Jeremy Clyde (Chad & Jeremy) were the softer counterparts to the hard rock beat groups of the British Invasion era of the 1960s. Peter & Gordon had massive hits with songs like “A World Without Love” and “I Go To Pieces”. Peter went on to have an illustrious career in the music business, first as the head of A&R for Apple Records where he signed a then-unknown James Taylor, then as producer for many artists including Linda Ronstadt, and currently as the host of “From Me To You”, a weekly Beatles show on Sirius/XM. Jeremy was half of Chad & Jeremy and had several big hits including “Yesterday’s Gone” and “A Summer Song”. He recently was a guest on this podcast. Peter and Jeremy tour together these days. We do two Songfests - one where we select and discuss several favorite British Invasion era songs by other artists that were One Hit Wonders or off the beaten path. And the other where we play and discuss a few of Peter & Gordon’s hits plus a Peter and Jeremy song.My featured song is “This Time” from my new album, “Bobby M and the Paisley Parade”.

Ep 143Music Day - Singles: "The Fall Of Winter" And "All Of The Time"

The theme of this Music Day episode is Singles.Back in the day - before albums took over - the record business was all about singles. An individual track put out as a 45 RPM record, the kind with the big hole in the middle for the turntable. There was always an A side and a B side to each single. The A side was the featured song. But sometimes a radio disc jockey or the public fell in love with the B side - and that was the one that became a hit.In the last year I’ve put out two singles that are featured in this Music Day episode. The first, “The Fall Of Winter”, I co-wrote with Jim Peterik of the Ides Of March and formerly with Survivor. Among many other hits, Jim wrote “Eye Of The Tiger” for Survivor which became the theme song for the movie Rocky III starring Sylvester Stallone. He sings lead on “Winter” backed by me and my band, Project Grand Slam, and featuring a wonderful guitar solo by Elliott Randall of Steely Dan and Doobie Brothers fame.The second single is one that I wrote called “All Of The Time”. It’s a light, airy, whimsical love song played by me and Project Grand Slam. Tony Carey of Rainbow adds his keyboard magic. The video for this song, created by Aaron Wilhelm, is particularly cool. The link is below.Stay tuned for more Music Day episodes from time to time.“The Fall Of Winter” (Spotify link here) (video link here). “All Of The Time” (Spotify link here) (video link here). —---------------------------------------- The Follow Your Dream Podcast:Top 1% of all podcasts with Listeners in 200 countries!For more information and other episodes of the podcast click here.

Ep 139Music Day - Cover Songs: "You Really Got Me" (The Kinks) And "The 'In' Crowd" (Dobie Gray)

The theme of this Music Day episode is Cover Songs.A cover song is when an artist performs a song that someone else has already performed. Most artists have done covers. The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, for example, both started out exclusively playing covers before they began to write their own songs.This episode presents two of my covers. I prefer to call them “reimagined versions” because I always try to make my covers as original as possible. The first is “You Really Got Me” by The Kinks. It features the wonderful Lucy Woodward on vocals. Dave Davies of The Kinks has praised our cover. The second is “The ‘In’ Crowd”, Dobie Gray’s hit that was also a jazz hit for Ramsey Lewis. It features the sublime Ziarra Washington on vocals.Stay tuned for more Music Day episodes from time to time.“You Really Got Me” (Spotify link here) from The Queens Carnival album.
