Remember Frankie Avalon, singer, actor and former teen idol?  He had 31-charted Billboard singles including “Why” and “Venus.” But, there was one other hit that most thought was very amusing. And Frankie had one memory of Milwaukee he would like to forget.

The music of the 60s and 70s was groundbreaking and it set the stage for the decades of amazing music that followed it. Milwaukee radio legend and Hall of Fame broadcaster Bob Barry spoke with countless musicians and celebrities over the years and collected remarkable recordings of his encounters with these talented people, which he's now sharing with the public in this podcast. He spoke with Sonny and Cher, James Brown, Dolly Parton, and and many others, and they shared their amazing stories about their lives and careers. All the episodes will be available as they're released at WisconsinBroadcastingMuseum.org. This podcast was made possible by a generous contribution from Terry Baun.
