We talked about a book he's written about the 761st Tank Batallion, the Black Panthers who served under General Patton in WWII. We also talked about his great NBA career. Kareem is awesome!
They've talked so many times before, but it's always a treat when Mr. Mathis calls into our studios for a nice long chat with Rick Crandall. He's still performing and still playing golf almost every day. Listen as Johnny and Rick talk about his famous Christmas albums and so much more!
Renee Olstead is one of the young (and quite beautiful) shining stars on the music scene today. She's just released her second, and much anticipated, CD called Skylark. The recording was produced by music legend David Foster and shortly after it's release, Renee visited with Rick.
David Walter Foster is a Canadian musician, record producer, composer, singer-songwriter and arranger. Foster has won fifteen Grammy Awards (three for Producer of the Year) and has been nominated 45 times! He has been nominated three times for an Academy Award for Best Song, won the 1999 Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song and has been named BMI's "Songwriter of the Year". David produced the debut albums for The Corrs, Michael Bublé and Josh Groban. Oh... he's also a fantastic singer and has appeared on American Idol.
The always delightful and multi-talented actress & singer, Bernadette Peters, was interviewed by Rick a few days before her One Night Only show with the Colorado Symphony Orchestra on Sept 26. She talks about her special performance this weekend, her school days and her delight at some of the same music Rick loves.. including girl groups from the 50's & 60's!
On a Wednesday morning, Breakfast Club host Rick Crandall welcomed four-time Grammy Award winner, and Denver resident, Dianne Reeves for an hour-long conversation. The show featured music from Dianne's four award-winning albums, plus a special guest. Joining Rick, and Dianne, in the Studio was Miss Miller, Dianne's 8th grade teacher at Hamilton Junior High. Miss Miller heard Dianne singing in the hallway one day and invited her to join the school's chorus. The rest... yep... is history! This is the first the two friends have been together in an interview on radio!
