For Keeps

28. Allee Willis, Hit Maker and Kitsch Curator


Listen Later

Grammy- and Tony-winning songwriter Allee Willis has co-written some of pop music's most enduring earworms (think "September" by Earth, Wind & Fire and "I'll Be There For You" from the TV show Friends), but her collection of kitsch takes the cake — and inspired her to create an online kitsch museum. Hear Allee tell tales of tackiness, tunes, and throwing parties!

The Allee Willis Museum of Kitsch • Vintage Los Angeles' video tour of Allee's house • Opening theme: "Keepers" by Still Flyin' • Closing theme: "Slow Draw/Feeling In My Heart" by Eric Frisch • Additional music by Funk LeBlancwww.forkeepspodcast.com
