Bob Barry’s Unearthed Interviews Podcast: Rupert Holmes

If I told you today’s podcast features a British lad who had a hit with a song called “Escape,” you’d probably say, “What song is that?” If I said the “Pina Colada Song” you might remember. Rupert Holmes was a pop singer and song writer. He stopped by the WOKY studios one morning to introduce his new record, which also made the Billboard Top 10. He wrote the song about a personal experience, which he’ll talk about and you’ll hear a bit of that hit. He’ll also mention the connection he had with Barbra Streisand.
