What a glorious reunion with the brilliantly talented prolific songstress, Harriet Schock, who wrote the Grammy-nominated #1 hit, Ain't No Way To Treat A Lady, and her stunningly talented, vocal accomplice, Andrea Ross-Green. It was thrilling to hear them again in perfect harmony with new songs from Harriet’s upcoming album, Paintings (the title track she treated us to is an absolute killer), as well as the mash-up of her Ain’t No Way to Treat A Lady and One Time Lover. We were also treated to my request, Over and Over, one of my all-time favorite Schock classics, and My Now, a new tune from her soon to drop, Paintings.

We went back to Dallas, her musician doctor father who encouraged her with all his heart, coming to LA, the heartbreak that inspired that #1 hit, being covered by The Partridge Family, Helen Reddy, Manfred Man, Johnny Mathis, Smokey Robinson, Roberta Flack, to name just some, her films with Henry Jaglom, ongoing songwriting workshops which attract the creme de l creme in LA and now with Zoom, from around the world. Harriet’s system she maintains is full-proof. Her scores of talented, thriving students offer proof. Come in with nothing, leave with a song. A well-crafted, good one at that, whether you’re a seasoned pro or a beginner. Interested? Contact Harriet at [email protected]

In addition to Harriet’s new album, there’s an upcoming show at The Coffee Gallery, A Lifetime Achievement Award, Gary Lynn Floyd’s new album, Present Schock: The Songs of Harriet Schock, and Tom Solari’s documentary, Hollywood Town, The Harriet Schock Story. I’m exhausted typing it.

I adore this woman and her music. Harriet and I appeared in Henry's The M Word and spent countless Tuesdays over the last decade sharing creative adventures and miracles at Women Who Write, where Harriet also performed at least a half dozen times. It was fantastic to catch up with this treasured friend and be treated to her magnificent music. Ditto Andrea!
