This week, we go back 50 years with incredibly rare interview clips Simon & Garfunkel as they talk about how one song changed everything for them – and how even Paul Simon himself was surprised when it became a hit.

We also have a 2014 chat with Canadian singer-songwriter Alessia Cara – who has been red-hot for the last five years with pop songs that stand out for their depth and honesty.

PLUS we have a brand new interview with the amazing Gino Vannelli – in which we play HIM a clip of himself from 40 years ago.  Gino talks about the brazen way he landed a deal with A&M Records (and why Herb Alpert almost had him arrested) and how he strives to inject something unique into every song he writes.

It's another special '80s edition! Huey Lewis talks about the beginning of The News, making hits for the radio, and why "I Want A New Drug" could never have been their first single.  Andy Bell from Erasure explains how he convinced his idol, Vince Clarke, to hire him - and how he went from groupie to colleague. He also tells us about the moment that changed his life - and the lives of many others.

Sheena Easton joined us in 1981 just as "Morning Train (9 to 5)" was barreling up the charts. She talks about not being quite ready for fame.

And in a brand new interview with Sandy Horne and Gord Deppe, The Spoons talk about their impressive run of hits in the '80s and some of their "pinch me" moments!

This week - in-depth conversations with Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey from The Who - as they reflect on how the Stones and Beatles influenced them, how Canada embraced them, the death of Keith Moon and how they saw the future of the band from the vantage point of the early '80s.

This week - some of the most iconic artists in Canadian music history.  We have rare interviews with Robbie Robertson, Rick Danko and Levon Helm from The Band.  Robbie talks about hooking up with Bob Dylan, Levon tells us about working in Canada and life AFTER The Last Waltz and Tom & Christopher discuss the long-standing feud between Robbie and Levon.

    Also, we have an incredible 1993 interview with Randy Bachman - talking about his days with The Guess Who, the anger that fueled him to form Bachman-Turner-Overdrive and the bad blood between he and Burton Cummings.

When we spoke to Tom Cochrane in 1991, “Life Is A Highway” was just about to make him a superstar.  Tom talks about being a songwriter as opposed to a rock star and why the song “Lunatic Fringe” was a political song for him (and still resonates today).

          Also, a 1982 interview with Martin Fry of ABC as their dance classic “The Lexicon Of Love” was defining the music of the ‘80s.

          Plus, the legendary BB King reflects on his achievements in a 1977 chat.

And Christopher and Tom introduce a new segment called “They Shoulda Known Better” – bad decisions by famous musicians, who should have known better!  (David Lee Roth, are you listening?)

This week: an exceptional late '70s interview with Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin​ as he talks about how Zeppelin got started.  Robert's in a great mood in this interview.  It's a must listen.  We also have KC & The Sunshine Band from 1977, Boz Scaggs reflecting on his biggest hit, "Lowdown", a very spirited Pat Benatar talking about being a woman in rock (and how many record companies rejected her), and a very enthusiastic Demi Lovato from 2013.  And Wolfman Jack tells the very funny story behind The Guess Who hit, "Clap For The Wolfman".

This week: an amazing interview with John Lennon & Yoko Ono from the mid ‘70s. John talks about his rivalry with Paul McCartney, why he recorded “Happy Christmas (War Is Over)” and who REALLY deserved a songwriting credit on “Imagine”.

        When Joe Walsh talked to us in 1978, he was not only a very successful solo artist (“Life’s Been Good”) but also a full-fledged member of The Eagles.  Joe talks about why being in a band is so much better than being solo. A very interesting and fun interview.

        John Kay told us about the heyday of Steppenwolf when he visited us in 1979.  The stories are crazy.

        We also have two clips from producer Phil Spector that are, in a word, bizarre.  One of them is only 10 seconds long – and those ten seconds are weird and chilling.

        Finally, Tom presents us with more Cool Song Facts – this time it’s the original names of very famous bands.  From Soft White Underbelly to Naked Toddler.  Trust us, you have to hear these!

 We have incredible interviews with Stevie Nicks and Mick Fleetwood of Fleetwood Mac from about 40 years ago. Stevie talks about everything from her wardrobe to her songwriting... and reveals something very personal about herself.  And Tom talks about the time they sent a Fake Fleetwood Mac out on tour!

     Plus, we have Christopher's fantastic interview with David Crosby from 1989, long before his falling out with Stills, Nash and Young.  Crosby is funny and charming in this interview - and even brought his guitar along for fun!

This week: a fascinating 1978 interview with Billy Joel, talking about his career, his love of touring and the controversy behind his current hit, “Only The Good Die Young”.

          Plus, Tom chats with Paul Stanley of KISS (his fave band ever!). Paul’s likeability is in stark contrast to Tom’s encounters with Gene Simmons. 

          We also have an early ‘70s chat with Alice Cooper, plus Cool Song Facts that will blow your mind!

This week: We’ve got a phenomenal in 1991 interview with REM, just as “Losing My Religion” was turning them into global superstars.  Michael Stipe and the band talk about success, the media and which album nearly broke the band apart.

  Plus, in a brand new interview, Tom chats with one of his idols, Kim Mitchell of Max Webster!  Kim talks about his past hits, his radio career and his new project with Barenaked Ladies.

   And finally, we have a brief chat with Barry Manilow about the biggest hit of his career and his success... as a jingle writer!
