    Sam Moore (encore)

    One half of the legendary duo, Sam and Dave, Sam Moore has died. He was the high voice on their well- known hits: “Soul Man” and “Hold on I’m Coming,” which was used by Barack Obama in his presidential campaign. He also did campaign work for Bob Dole and Donald Trump. Sam was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of fame in 1992. He had many admirers including Bruce Springsteen. Sam and Dave were the number two recording stars for Stax Records, behind Otis Redding. They also recorded “You Don’t Know Like I Know,” and “I Thank You.” “Soul Man” charted again in the late 1970s when the “Blues Brothers,” John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd, recorded it. Rest in peace Sam.

    Petula Clark

    Hello everyone and welcome to today’s episode of Bob Barry’s Unearthed Interviews. It’s more music and memories with singer and actress Petula Clark. And I emphasize actress because I saw Petula star, in London, as Norma Desmond in a performance of “Sunset Boulevard.” She was magnificent. You all know her from her timeless hits, most written by British composer Tony Hatch. Her first number one song was inspired by the energy and excitement on the streets of New York. “My Love” was another song written by Hatch for Clark. It relates a deep, personal expression of love and promising devotion and shows an emotional side to the singer. “I Know a Place” was recorded in London, where most of her hits were made. Hatch used a catchy piano riff and brass section which made it lively and upbeat. Her music conveyed a carefree feeling and a celebration of life. Petula Clark’s career spanned generations. She is an artist from the golden age of pop to Broadway, television, and beyond, making her a beloved figure in entertainment. It was early in the morning in Las Vegas and I was as surprised as she was when she answered the phone.

    Byron MacGregor

    In December 1974 we spent a couple of minutes on the phone with Byron MacGregor. He was a Canadian radio-TV newsman. This year he received a Legends Induction into the Radio Hall of Fame. In 1973 Byron read a Toronto newspaper editorial written by Gordon Sinclair. He read the article on the air and got such a tremendous response that he decided to make a recording of the piece. The record “Americans” was voiced by MacGregor and backed by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra with their version of “America the Beautiful.” It was a hit on the Billboard charts and sold nearly 4 million copies. All of the proceeds were donated to the Red Cross. You’ll hear that record at the end of this conversation.

    Uri Geller

    Today’s podcast deals with the extraordinary and unexplained. We talked with the legendary Uri Geller, who is celebrating his 78th birthday this month. He is known as a mentalist, illusionist, and paranormal phenomenon. His journey has taken him from Israel to international fame, where he appeared on countless TV shows and collaborated with some of the biggest names in entertainment. Here he tried to demonstrate to my listeners how he could start old clocks and watches that hadn’t been running for many years. At first Uri seemed to captivate the listening audience, but in the end, it became quite humorous.

    Ted Koppel

    Ted Koppel is a name that resonates with anyone who values in-depth journalism. As the former anchor of “Nightline” and a distinguished journalist, Ted is a true legend in the field of broadcasting. He spent decades covering the most significant events of our time, from political upheavals to global crises. He offered insights on the state of journalism and the challenges facing media. At the time I interviewed Ted, he had just retired from his everyday job and, for now, worked mainly from home, as Mr. Mom. And, he discusses that challenge.
