TVC 621.1: Part 2 of a two-part conversation that began on our program last week with Grammy Award-winning and Emmy Award-winning composer Charles Fox. Charles is the subject of Killing Me Softly with His Songs, a forthcoming documentary that not only chronicles Charles' life and career in music, but is really, at its heart, a celebration of music itself—and, particularly, the power of live music to connect people and bridge cultures. If all goes well, Killing Me Softly with His Songs will be released later in 2023; for updates and more information, go to KillingMeSoftlywithHisSongs.com or CharlesFoxMusic.com

In this segment, Charles talks to Ed about the back stories of "Making Our Dreams Come True," the theme to Laverne & Shirley (performed by Cyndi Grecco), "I've Got a Name," the song that Charles and Norman Gimbel wrote for The Last American Hero (and which Jim Croce performed for the film, shortly before his tragic death in September 1973), and the theme to The Love Boat.
