He interviewed the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, James Brown, Dolly Parton, Sophia Loren, Gregory Peck, Dick Clark, Cher and many more. If a band or musician came to town, he met them with a microphone. Barry has collected remarkable recordings of these encounters which he’s now sharing with the public. SUBSCRIBE!

I followed the Beatles on their 1966 tour here in the United States. One of the concerts was at the Chicago amphitheater on Aug. 12. Bobby Hebb was a warmup act for the show. He was a singer, songwriter, and instrumentalist from Nashville. Bobby was featured on the Grand Ole Opry at age 12. He talks about his start and his only top 10 hit. As you will hear, we were backstage for this interview.
