Music:Music Interviews
I am SO happy to be bringing you this interview with RUPERT HOLMES Composer for Films & TV, singer/songwriter of many albums including the hits HIM and ESCAPE, the Piña Colada Song, Producer and Composer for Barbara Streisand, The Strawbs, John Miles, award winning author of books, plays and musicals. The interview was done for a BBC Radio 2 series called MANHATTAN, The most Musical Island on Earth in 2003.
When his first album Widescreen came out in 1974, I was going to the Berklee College of Music and I loved it so much I wrote him a fan letter , saying I’d love to meet him – He answered in a very witty typed and signed letter which I still have and treasure. It said that I should go to a small café in Paris on the Rue Saint-Sulpice where it is said that if you sit there long enough, everyone in the world will pass by – and that when I see him, I should say hello.
So, if you want to spend the next 45 minutes in the company of a very clever man and hear the story of his amazing career, hear him chat about Paul Simon, Barry Manilow, Melissa Manchester, studio work, Barbara Streisand, Broadway, and a very big Piña Colada!
RUPERT HOLMES talks about Streisand, NYC, Edwin Drood and Piña Colada
