Movies Broadway Singers and Beyond Internet Radio Station Hosted by Sherry

Movies and music have always gone together.  Just think Flashdance and Saturday Night Fever.  But back in the 40s and 50s most of the popular music came from either Broadway shows or movies.  Some of these songs are as recognized today as they were when they first came out. When I’m in my art room, I play a mix of …

I was a little girl when I first heard the Peter Gunn theme.  I fell in love with the work of composer, conductor and arranger, Henry Mancini.  This successful collaboration between the producer of the Peter Gunn series, Blake Edwards, and composer, Henry Mancini, inspired them to work together for the next 35 years on 30 films.  Henry was so …

This is a belated thank you to Stevie Wonder . . . ful.  I grew up with Stevie’s music and I love it.  When I came of age, as a young teenager, the one and only Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons released the song, Sherry.  Everywhere I went I’d hear my friends singing Sherry in Frankie’s falsetto voice.  Well, …

When I was very young I thought that Leonard Bernstein and Elmer Bernstein were related.  They were two of my favorite composers and conductors.  In my childish imagination they even looked alike.  As I matured I learned that, although they shared the same last name, they were no relation to each other but boy, were they both two of the …

Mind If I Make Love to You is a gorgeous song sung by Frank Sinatra from the movie, High Society, with Frank, Grace Kelly and Bring Crosby.  I have all of Frank Sinatra’s music and this song has always been one of my favorites.  It was written by Cole Porter who has always been one of my favorite song writers. …

What do Basia and Swing Out Sister have in common?  They both have made some of the most beautiful music in the world.  Basia is a singer, song writer and record producer.  Her Latin flavored jazz music was so successful that she was also able to cross over into the pop music world.  Basia’s vocal range spans three octaves and …

Many years ago, I had a favorite program, Our World, with Linda Ellerbee and Ray Gandolf. One night there was an episode about Sir Edmund Hillary and his ascent up Mount Everest. In the background they played the most gorgeous music. I said to myself, “I know that.” I mean I did and I didn’t. I had heard the music …

My collection of music is large . . .  very large.  Every now and then I listen to a song that I haven’t heard in some time and I get that certain feeling.  I’m in paradise again.  I can forget everyday problems.  I am transported.  Sometimes I haven’t heard that song in many months and all of a sudden it …

Many years ago, I watched Trapper John with Pernell Roberts.  There was a wonderful young actor on the show who played Dr. Jackpot Jackson.  He was a charismatic actor and really added to the personality of the show.  Many years later, I was in New York in the audience of a Broadway play called Ragtime. Lo and behold . . …

What do Liza Minnelli, Jack Jones and Natalie Cole all have in common? They are great singers and they are also off-spring of equally talented singers. . . Judy Garland, Allan Jones and Nat King Cole. Now we can add another name to this illustrious group . . . Jason Gould. Jason is the son of Barbra Streisand and Elliot …

My passion for movie soundtracks and Broadway songs began when I was a very young child.  It is a passion that has lasted a life time.  It makes me so happy to be able to share this music with those who love it as much as I do. I also began collecting movie memorabilia when I was very young.  Oh, …

As I put this show together, my greatest regret was that I only had two hours for the show.  Last night, in my art room, I listened to John Barry’s The Dove and I thought, I need to put that one on the show.  Then I remembered . . . that boat had already sailed. Some of my favorite music …

I have been a fan of Marvin . . .  well, forever.  I adore A Chorus Line, and I also sing the song Nothing all of the time and it has become a mantra for me. Marvin Hamlisch was born to create music.  He was a child prodigy and he entered Juilliard School Pre-College Division at the age 6!  He …
