It was. It was 40 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 3: really very painful because you know, going on stage for 41 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 3: me is the medicine of life, you know, And but yeah, 42 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:40,800 Speaker 3: it was it was really tough. 43 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 2: So you really first learned the joy of performance while 44 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 2: you were singing in a choir, right, yeah, I mean 45 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:52,519 Speaker 2: I grew. 46 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 3: Up actually Presbyterian, but I sang in the choir, and 47 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 3: I sang in the junior high and high school choirs 48 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 3: and just loved the saying loved it, and then I 49 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 3: heard Little Richard in nineteen fifty five and I said, wow, 50 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 3: I really love that. And so I became a songwriter. 51 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:22,360 Speaker 3: And I'm not really wasn't didn't feel like I was 52 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 3: going to be a singer, but I wanted to write, 53 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 3: and but it was, you know, turned out. 54 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 2: Pretty good for me, I would say so. And this 55 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 2: Little Richard guy, boy, he was. He was quite an 56 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 2: influence on so many people. Do you think he got 57 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 2: his just due in the day? 58 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 3: I know he did. I know he did. In the industry, 59 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 3: you know, all of us. Anybody that sings rock and 60 00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 3: roll is influenced and loves Little rich Or he you know, 61 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 3: he And I think he didn't go into the rock 62 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 3: and roll Hall of Fame right away. To me, he 63 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 3: should have been probably the first guy in him and Elvis. 64 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:20,040 Speaker 3: I mean, he's just he was. He influenced well, the Beatles, everybody, 65 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 3: and uh no, I don't think he got the right 66 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:28,799 Speaker 3: But in the industry he was considered, you know, brilliant. 67 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,359 Speaker 2: And you had the opportunity to cross paths with the 68 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 2: Little Richard, I would imagine, didn't you. 69 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 3: Oh sure, yeah, we worked with uh Richard a few 70 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:45,039 Speaker 3: times and Uh. He was always fun and really great 71 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 3: with us. And it took me a little while to 72 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,600 Speaker 3: get comfortable around him because I was so such a fan, 73 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 3: you know. And but he was a great guy. Yeah, 74 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 3: we worked with him two or three times. 75 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 1: And how about Elvis Presley, You must have crossed paths 76 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 1: with him. 77 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, Elvis became a well even from from the early 78 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 3: sixties before Love and Feeland. We had about a two 79 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 3: or three year career just doing rock and roll and 80 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 3: we were having the West Coast hits, a little Latin 81 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 3: Rubylo my Baby kind of stuff. And uh, he would 82 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 3: he would come to come to all the clubs when 83 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:29,719 Speaker 3: we were working up in La and he just became 84 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:33,040 Speaker 3: a good friend. And then I was I was on 85 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 3: my own, uh at the end of the sixties and 86 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 3: the seventies, and I went to work at the Hilton 87 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,599 Speaker 3: where Elvis was, and I think Elvis got me the job, 88 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:51,160 Speaker 3: but uh uh and so we became a pretty close there. 89 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 3: And uh, just a really good guy, great talent, great guy. Uh. 90 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,600 Speaker 3: Probably probably too much to handle for anybody, you know that. 91 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 3: I've always said, I don't want to be in the 92 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 3: fast lane. I don't want to be in the slowly. 93 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 3: I just want to be in the middle lane. I 94 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 3: think I think you can hang around longer. 95 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: And the girls liked them, it's my understanding. 96 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 3: Huh oh boy, yeah, yeah, I mean well, and Bobby 97 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 3: and I went on the first American Beatle Tour, and 98 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:33,479 Speaker 3: uh so we kind of got used to young girls 99 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:38,479 Speaker 3: screaming and crying and you know, yelling and boy, but 100 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 3: Elvis was more women than young girls, you know, and 101 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 3: and you know, I guess Elvis handle all of that 102 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 3: pretty good.

So when we were on the plane, you know, 129 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,320 Speaker 3: we'd all sit around and talk. And they were good guys, 130 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 3: really good guys they were. They were probably more amazed 131 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 3: at what was going on than anybody. You know, it 132 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,080 Speaker 3: was pretty pretty radical. 133 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 2: Do you ever wonder sometime, you know, with the untimely 134 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 2: passing of John Lennon going way too soon, would he 135 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 2: have really had a formidable career, you know, well through 136 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 2: the nineties and beyond. 137 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,840 Speaker 3: Well, I think he would have if he wanted it, 138 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,959 Speaker 3: you know, as long as he he's as long as 139 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 3: he stayed in and I mean he was a great 140 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 3: writer and made great records, and at some point you 141 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,200 Speaker 3: have to like really love what you do, and I 142 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,200 Speaker 3: think I think John really did love what he did, 143 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 3: So I think he would still be around in one 144 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 3: shape or forms like Paul McCartney.

Phil when 155 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 3: we worked with Phil, I think he was just winding down, 156 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 3: and he was, you know, doing all girl groups, you know, 157 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 3: the Crystals and Darling Love and all those girls, and 158 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 3: Bobby and I were just kind of a couple of 159 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 3: street guys, and so he treated us. He treated us 160 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 3: really really good. He worked us hard. But uh, every 161 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 3: time you would work as hard, the songs would get better, 162 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 3: So we were okay with that. So I don't I 163 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 3: don't really have you know, I think I think maybe 164 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 3: when when we were with him, he was trying to 165 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 3: make people think that he was real eccentric and the 166 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 3: truth is is he wasn't. But but in the later 167 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 3: years I think he talked himself into it. 168 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:09,199 Speaker 2: But what a masterpiece that he was part of with 169 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 2: you on You've Lost that Love and Feeling. 170 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 1: I mean, it's a perfect, perfect song, Bill. 171 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:20,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's well, he was brilliant.
