    Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth Interview with Linda Gray, Legendary Actress, Star, “Dallas”, “Ladies of the 80’s: A Divas Christmas”

     

    About Harvey's guest:

     

    Today’s special guest, Linda Gray, is a beloved, multi-award winning actress, director and author who became a global superstar with her portrayal of ‘Sue Ellen’, in the blockbuster TV series “Dallas”, for which she won numerous international awards and was nominated for 2 Golden Globe Awards, an Emmy Award and 4 Soap Opera Digest Awards.  But her career extends far beyond “Dallas”.  

     

    On the big screen, she’s appeared in many movies including “Dogs”, “Oscar”, “Star of Jaipur”, “Expecting Mary”, “The Flight of the Swan”, “Hidden Moon”, “Intuitions” and “Wally’s Will”, which won her 2 Best Actress awards at the USA Film Festival and the North Hollywood Film Festival.  And she’s starred in dozens of TV shows like “Melrose Place”, “The Bold and the Beautiful”  and “Models Inc.”, and many TV movies including “Murder in Peyton Place”, “Haywire”, “The Wild and the Free”, “Not in Front of the Children”, “Moment of Truth: Why My Daughter?”, “Accidental Meeting”, “When the Cradle Falls”, “Perfect Match”, and of course, the 2 “Dallas” TV movies, “J.R. Returns” and “War of the Ewings”.   

     

    On the stage, our guest starred in the world premiere production, in London, of “Terms of Endearment”, AND in the West End production of “The Graduate”, in which she starred on Broadway for a limited engagement.  In 2014 she returned to the London stage to star in the Christmas pantomime “Cinderella”, playing the Fairy Godmother.  She’s also starred onstage in “The Vagina Monologues”, “Agnes of God” and “Love Letters”.   In 1982, she was named Woman of the Year by the Hollywood Radio & Television Society.   In 2013, she was included in People Magazine's list of the Most Beautiful Women in the world.  

     

    And in 2015, she published her highly compelling, emotionally powerful and inspirational memoir entitled, “The Road to Happiness is Always Under Construction”, which became an instant best seller.  The book chronicles our guest’s amazing life journey, through childhood illness, family trauma, and the many challenges of an ultimately triumphant career and fulfilling personal life, bringing her to a place of honesty, serenity and joy.   

     

    And I’m very excited to announce that on December 2, our guest’s highly anticipated, brand new TV movie, entitled “Ladies of the 80s: A Divas Christmas” will be premiering on the Lifetime channel.   This is a delicious comedy in which our guest co-stars with Loni Anderson, Morgan Fairchild, Donna Mills and Nicollette Sheridan, who play 5 glamorous soap opera queens who reunite to shoot the final Christmas episode of their long-running TV series.  

     

    And if all of that weren’t enough, our guest is also a highly respected philanthropist.  She’s been very involved with the Best Buddies Program for people with intellectual challenges, as well as Meals on Wheels and the Force For Good Foundation.  And for 10 years, from 1997 to 2007, she served as a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador to promote women's rights, and the health of women and children.

    Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth Interview with Andy Kim, Iconic Pop Music Star

     

    About Harvey's guest:

     

    Today’s special guest, Andy Kim, is an iconic singer and songwriter who’s given us numerous Top 40 hit songs including “How’d We Ever Get This Way”, “Shoot ‘em up Baby”, “Baby I Love You”, “So Good Together”, “Be My Baby”, “Fire, Baby I’m on Fire”, “I Forgot to Mention” - and, of course, “Rock Me Gently”, which went straight to #1 on the Billboard charts and remained on the charts for a staggering 4 months.  

     

    He also co-wrote and sang on the enduring classic pop song, ”Sugar, Sugar” for the fictitious pop group “The Archies”, which stayed at No. 1 for 4 weeks and became Billboard’s Record of the Year and the biggest-selling record of 1969, AND the song ranks at number 90 on Billboard’s list of the Greatest Songs of All Time.   

     

    Our guest has received top industry honours including two JUNO Awards.  In fact, in 1970 he received the very first JUNO Award ever given out, and it was for Male Vocalist of the Year.  In 2004, he was voted by Canadian Music Week as the Best Solo Indie Artist of the Year.  

     

    He’s been inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, and Billboard's Hit Parade Hall of Fame.   He has a star on the Canadian Walk of Fame, and in 2017, for the 2nd time in their 70-year history, the Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada – better known as SOCAN - honoured our guest with their Cultural Impact Award.   Over his epic career, he has sold over 30 million records, and has had over half a billion streams on Spotify and YouTube.  

     

    And if all of that weren’t enough, I’m absolutely THRILLED to share the recent announcement that our guest will be appointed an Officer of the Order of Canada for his contributions to Canadian music as a trailblazer and legendary artist.   

     

    And for those of you living in the Toronto area, our guest will be returning to Massey Hall for his 19th annual Christmas show on Wednesday, December 6, for an unforgettable evening celebrating the magic of the season, with performances from our guest, along with some of Canada’s top music stars, with all proceeds donated to the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health.

  • Harvey Brownstone Interviews Daniel Arbon, Filmmaker, “Hawker”

    Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth Interview with Daniel Arbon, Filmmaker, “Hawker”

     

    About Harvey's guest:

     

    Today’s guest, Daniel Arbon, is a filmmaker from the United Kingdom who has produced a number of short films entitled, “Ironheart”, “Plated”, “White Feather”, and now, his brand new film entitled, “Hawker”, which he wrote, produced and directed.  

     

    This short film tells the true story of Major Lanoe Hawker, who was Britain's first World War 1 "Ace" pilot, and a pioneer of early aviation combat.  The movie focuses on the activities of July 25th, 1915, when Hawker, who was at that time a Captain, became the first British pilot to successfully shoot down an enemy aircraft, by mounting a Lewis Gun to the side of his Bristol Scout airplane.   

     

    This ambitious and exciting film, which is being released on November 23, was a labour of love for our guest, whose interest in aviation originated when he trained in Aerospace Manufacturing.  He went on to be an Officer Cadet at RMA Sandhurst, and after his discharge from the British Army, he began his career in the arts as an actor, graduating from Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts in 2011.   After appearing in 7 films, he turned his attention to writing, producing and directing, and in 2016 he formed his own production company called Middle Realm Productions.

  • Harvey Brownstone Interviews Dr. Audrey Birnbaum, Author, "American Wolf: From Nazi Refugee to American Spy"

    Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth interview with Dr. Audrey Birnbaum, Author, "American Wolf: From Nazi Refugee to American Spy"

     

    About Harvey's guest:

     

    As many of you know, we have featured a number of authors on our show who’ve written books about surviving the Holocaust.  

     

    Today’s guest, Dr. Audrey Birnbaum, has produced a highly compelling and emotionally powerful book that came into existence in a rather unusual way.  

     

    When her father, Wolf Schwersenz, was an 11-year old child living with his parents in Nazi Germany, and suffering horrific antisemitic persecution, as all European Jews did after the rise of Hitler, the family overcame every conceivable obstacle and narrowly escaped deportation and death in 1941, by miraculously finding a way to get to America.   When Wolf turned 75, he wrote his life story, entitled “The History of My Life’s Struggles”, vividly retelling and preserving his memories of his childhood in Nazi Germany, his family’s death-defying escape from Europe, the arduous and horrific 5-week journey across the Atlantic in an unspeakably ill-equipped and dangerously overcrowded cargo ship, and the sometimes painful and challenging transition to life in America for himself, his parents and his sister, as new immigrants.  He also wrote about his fascinating experiences as an intelligence officer in the American Military when he was sent back to East Germany in the 1950’s. 

     

    Twelve years after Wolf wrote his life story, and after he passed away in 2018, his daughter, our guest, found her father’s 340 pages of notes in her attic.   And she carefully and lovingly converted those notes into a book, entitled "American Wolf: From Nazi Refugee to American Spy", telling her father’s story through HIS voice.  It’s a riveting, heart-stopping, true story full of last-minute rescues, near-death encounters, and survival against untold odds. It’s also a story about survival, tenacity, ingenuity, family dynamics, inherited trauma and national identity – and above all, it’s a resounding testament to the triumph of the human spirit.  

     

    Our guest is from New York, and she recently retired from a distinguished career as a doctor, specializing in Pediatric Gastro-enterology.

  • Harvey Brownstone Interviews Nicole Henry, Renowned Jazz Vocalist

    Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth interview with Nicole Henry, Renowned Jazz Vocalist

     

    About Harvey's guest:

     

    Today’s guest, Nicole Henry, is a renowned, multiple award-winning jazz singer, whose dynamic, soulful voice, incredible range, impeccable phrasing, and powerful bluesy-gospel emotional delivery, have made her one of the world’s most highly acclaimed vocalists.  

     

    In 2002, after being discovered singing in a jazz trio in Miami, the Miami New Times named her the Best Solo Musician of the year.   She’s gone on to record 8 spectacular albums including, “The Nearness of You”, “Teach Me Tonight”, “The Very Thought of You”, “Embraceable”, “Summer Sessions”, her latest album, “Time to Love Again”, which has already had 4 top-charting singles - and I can’t resist mentioning one of my all-time favourite albums, “So Good, So Right: Nicole Henry Live”, recorded at the renowned Feinstein’s 54 Below nightclub in New York City.  

     

    Four of her albums have landed in the Top 10 on the U.S. Billboard, JazzWeek, UK and Japan jazz charts.   Her repertoire ranges from the Great American Songbook, classic and contemporary jazz, pop standards, blues and original material.   And get this:  in 2013, she received the "Soul Train Award" for "Best Traditional Jazz Performance", winning out over George Benson, Jeffrey Osborne, Chaka Khan, Tony Bennett, Marc Anthony and Terrence Blanchard.   She is universally adored by music critics.  

     

    The New York Times said, “Every gesture and inflection conveys confidence and mastery, and she creates the sense of being in the presence of a pop-soul superwoman.”  And Broadway World said, “So powerful is her charisma, so unique is her personality, so rich is her music, so abandoned is her joy, that you can't watch her without being drawn in."  And in my opinion, that’s an understatement.  

    Our guest’s latest album, entitled, “Time to Love Again”, has been described by Downbeat Magazine as “exuberant, joyous, and immaculately executed.”  Her latest single, which is her fourth charting single from the album, is called “Is It a Crime”, and it was recently added as the #1 breakthrough single on the UK Soul Charts.

  • Harvey Brownstone with Mariette Hartley & Jerry Sroka, Co-Stars “Our (Almost Completely True) Love Story”

    Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth interview with Mariette Hartley and Jerry Sroka, Co-Stars “Our (Almost Completely True) Love Story” 

    About Harvey's guest: 

    Today’s special guests, Mariette Hartley and Jerry Sroka, are 2 beloved entertainers who happen to be husband and wife - or as they call themselves, the “icon” and the “leprechaun”.   

    Starting with the “icon” first, she’s been dazzling us with great performances for over 6 decades, in classic movies like “Ride the High Country”, “Marnie”, “Marooned”, “Skyjacked”, “1969”, “Improper Channels”, and of course, her many highly acclaimed TV movies including “MADD: Mothers Against Drunk Drivers” and “Silence of the Heart”.   

    On television, she’s been in everything from “The Twilight Zone”, “Daniel Boone”, “Bonanza”, “Gunsmoke” and “The Bob Newhart Show”, to “Little House on the Prairie”, “M.A.S.H.”, “Murder She Wrote”, “NCIS”, “Grey’s Anatomy”, and dozens more.   She created the unforgettable characters of “Dr. Claire Morton” on “Peyton Place”, “Sister Mary Daniel” on “One Life to Live”, “Liz McVey” on “W-I-O-U”, “Lorna Scarry” in “Law and Order: SVU”, “Patricia Clark” in “9-1-1” – and let’s not forget that classic episode of “Star Trek”, where our guest, who played “Zarabeth”, fulfilled every woman’s dream of having her wicked way with “Mr. Spock”.   

    And for a while in the 80’s, she co-hosted NBC's “The Today Show”, and she also co-hosted “The Morning Program” on CBS.   And we all loved her wonderful, long-running TV documentary series, “Wild About Animals”.  She’s been nominated for 5 Emmy Awards and WON an Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her work in “The Incredible Hulk”.  And she has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.  She also wrote an incredibly impactful and emotionally powerful book entitled, “Breaking the Silence”, which is one of the most compelling, insightful and inspirational celebrity memoirs I’ve ever read.    

    And at the risk of making her blush even more, I can’t resist mentioning this remarkable woman’s extraordinary devotion to community service.  She’s been the national spokesperson for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, which honored her with a Humanitarian Award.  She’s also worked tirelessly as an advocate for mental health, and with a number of vitally important organizations, including the Center to Prevent Handgun Violence, SOJOURN, and Mothers Against Drunk Drivers.  And get this:  she was named Outstanding Mother of the Year by the National Mother's Day Committee in Washington, D.C.  It doesn’t get much better than that.    

    And now, moving on to her loving husband, the “leprechaun”, he’s an actor and producer, well known for his work in the movie “Godspell”, the mini-series “Murder One: Diary of a Serial Killer”, and dozens of TV shows including “Murphy Brown”, “Seinfeld”, “Ally McBeal”, “Star Trek Voyager”, “The Brothers Flub”, “The West Wing”, “Shameless”, “The Comeback Kids” and many, many more.     

    And now, these 2 great talents have joined together in a terrific and very charming movie which they wrote, called “Our (Almost Completely True) Love Story”, in which they play themselves, telling the story of how this initially very unlikely couple met and grew to love each other.  The movie, which also features veteran stars Tess Harper, Bernie Kopell, Morgan Fairchild and John Rubenstein, has been conquering film festivals everywhere, and it’s won 9 prestigious awards.  After seeing this humorous, poignant and heartwarming movie, I just had to invite our guests on our show.

  • Harvey Brownstone Interviews Antonio Sabato Jr., Renowned Actor, Producer & Author

    Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth interview with Antonio Sabato Jr., Renowned Actor, Producer & Author

     

    About Harvey's guest:

     

    Today’s guest, Antonio Sabato Jr., is a highly popular and immensely likeable actor, producer and writer who first made a splash as Janet Jackson’s sexy dancing partner in her hugely successful 1990 music video, “Love Will Never Do Without You”.  

     

    He then went on to play the charismatic “John Jagger Cates” in the daytime drama, “General Hospital”, earning 3 Soap Opera Digest Award nominations.  He returned to that role in 2008 in “General Hospital: Night Shift”.   

     

    He’s appeared in many feature films and TV movies including “The Big Hit”, “High Voltage”, “Fatal Error”, “Mindstorm”, “Ghost Voyage”, “If Looks Could Kill”, “Shark Hunter”, “Guilty as Charged”, “Drifter: Henry Lee Lucas”, for which he won a Best Actor Award at the Beverly Hills Film Festival, “Grace By Night”, for which he won TWO Best Actor Awards at prestigious international film festivals, “One Nation Under God”, for which he won TWO Best Supporting Actor Awards at the Christian Film Festival, and of course, he also appeared in the wonderful 1999 miniseries, “Tribe”.   

     

    You’ve also seen him in dozens of TV shows including “Earth 2”, “Melrose Place”, “Charmed”, “The Help”, “Hilton Head Island”, and he portrayed “Dante Damiano” on “The Bold and the Beautiful”, earning 2 NAACP Image Award nominations for Outstanding Actor in a Daytime Drama Series.   He’s also starred in 2 reality shows: “My Antonio”, and the immensely popular “Fix it and Finish it”, in addition to appearing many times on “The Balance”, starring Eric Bolling.  And who can forget his sexy dance routines with Cheryl Burke in Season 19 of “Dancing with the Stars”?  

     

    And if all of that weren’t enough, in the late-90s, our guest became a global sensation as a model and representative for Calvin Klein.  His iconic photos wearing Calvin Klein underwear appeared in EVERY magazine, and he was even featured on a 90 foot billboard overlooking Times Square, causing traffic to stop and hearts to palpitate.  In 1999 our guest released a terrific book entitled, “No Excuses: Workout for Life”, all about his approach to physical fitness and a healthy lifestyle.  That book sold 300,000 copies.  

     

    And in 2020, he released a deeply personal, heartfelt and poignant memoir entitled, “Sabato:  The Untold Story”, chronicling his family history, his determination to succeed, and his resilience in an industry that can sometimes be brutal.  He also provides a frank account of the struggles he faced as an actor seeking to continue his film and television career following his groundbreaking speech at the 2016 Republican National Convention and his run for Congress.  The book is now being revised to include great photographs and updated chapters about our guest’s newly revitalized career.   After reading his book, I was compelled to invite him on our show, because he has an inspirational story that everyone needs to hear.

    About Harvey's guest:

     

    Today’s special guest, Scotty Barnhart, is an internationally acclaimed music artist, especially in the world of jazz.  

     

    He’s an iconic trumpet player, composer, arranger, educator and author.  For over 30 years, he’s been a featured trumpet soloist with the legendary Count Basie Orchestra, AND for the past 10 years, he’s been the Orchestra’s Director.   

     

    He’s a 2-time Grammy Award winner, and he’s worked with some of the greatest music artists in the world, including Tony Bennett, Lena Horne, Frank Sinatra, Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, Barbra Streisand, Tito Puente, Wynton Marsalis, Herbie Hancock, Quincy Jones, The Duke Ellington Orchestra, Diana Krall and dozens more.  In 2009, he released his highly acclaimed first solo album, entitled, “Say It Plain”, which reached #3 on the Jazz Charts.   Our guest is widely considered to be THE leading authority on the history of Jazz trumpet.  

     

    In 2005 he published his groundbreaking book, “The World of Jazz Trumpet – A Comprehensive History and Practical Philosophy”, which is THE definitive text on the subject.  He’s a Professor at Florida State University, and he gives keynote lectures and seminars around the world.  He’s also  profiled in Scott Yanow’s groundbreaking book “Trumpet Kings:  The Players Who Shaped the Sound of Jazz”, which places him right up there with the most important Jazz trumpeters in history, from Louis Armstrong to Miles Davis and others.

  • Harvey Brownstone Interviews Debbie Wileman, Renowned Judy Garland Impressionist on her return to Carnegie Hall

    Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth interview with Debbie Wileman, Renowned Judy Garland Impressionist on her return to Carnegie Hall

     

    About Harvey's guest:

     

    Today’s special guest, Debbie Wileman, making her second appearance on our show, is an incredibly unique and gifted vocalist from England who’s taken the world by storm with her astonishing ability to sing in the exact voice of the legendary Judy Garland – something that, in my opinion, no one else has been able to do with such precision. 

     

    Her videos on YouTube and Facebook have gone viral, and she’s had 2 hugely successful concert tours in America, including a triumphant sold-out performance at Carnegie Hall in June of 2022, which was heralded by critics as nothing short of astounding.  Earlier this year, I had the great pleasure of attending her concert with a 60-piece symphony orchestra in Peoria, Illinois, and she was spectacular.  

     

    When she appeared on our show last year, we were celebrating the release of her first album, entitled “I’m Still Here”, in which she sings, in the voice of Judy Garland, classic modern songs that Judy never lived long enough to record.  If you haven’t yet got that album, let me tell you, you should do it right away.  Hearing songs like “Yesterday”, “Beauty and the Beast”, “Evergreen”, “If He Walked Into my Life” - and yes - even Adele’s “Rolling in the Deep”, in Judy’s spectacular voice, miraculously manifested by our guest, simply has to be heard to be believed.    

     

    And I’m THRILLED to announce that our guest will be making her highly anticipated return to Carnegie Hall on December 10, 2023 to perform a very special Christmas concert.  AND she recently teamed up with singer Brad Knight, who is renowned for his ability to impersonate the voice of Anthony Newley – which is also very difficult to do.   They have produced a fabulous video concert featuring duets as Judy Garland and Anthony Newley, as well as solo numbers by each of them. It’s called “Judy and Tony:  The Unsung Duets and More.  This brand new concert video can be seen free of charge on the DPS Studios UK YouTube channel.

  • Harvey Brownstone Interviews Gilbert O’Sullivan, Legendary Singer / Songwriter

    Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth interview with Gilbert O’Sullivan, Legendary Singer / Songwriter

     

    About Harvey's guest:

     

    Today’s special guest, Gilbert O’Sullivan, is a music superstar.  He was Ireland’s first international pop music star, and he became a global phenomenon in the 70s with his classic hit song, “Alone Again, Naturally”, which stayed at #1 in America for 6 weeks and earned him 3 Grammy Award nominations.  

     

    He’s charted 16 top 40 records, including six No. 1 songs.  Some of my favourites are “Nothing Rhymed”, “Clair”, “Get Down”, “Out of the Question”, “Why Oh Why Oh Why”, “What’s in a Kiss”, “So What”, “Tomorrow, Today”, and one of my all-time favourites, his wonderful duet with Peggy Lee, “Can’t Think Straight”.   For over 5 decades he’s been writing hit songs in his signature style.  

     

    He's recorded 20 studio albums and released 8 compilation albums.  And he’s been performing sold-out concerts not only in his native Ireland, but throughout the UK and around the world.  Record Mirror Magazine voted him the top UK male singer of 1972, and he’s received 3 Ivor Novello Awards, including "Songwriter of the Year" in 1973.  His 2 most recent albums, entitled “Gilbert O’Sullivan” and “Driven”, have been highly acclaimed by music critics, and they hit the top 20 and the top 30 in the UK charts.   Those 2 albums, along with his 3-CD compilation released last year, entitled, “Gilbert O’Sullivan: The Best Of” have ignited a global renaissance in his career, and a whole new generation of fans around the world are falling in love with his music.   

     

    He’s just completed a sold out tour in Japan, AND NOW, he’s returning to the United States over the Thanksgiving weekend for an exclusive 3-city concert tour.  

     

    Our guest will be at The Canyon House in Mesa, Arizona on November 22nd.  On November 24, he’ll be performing at the Swedish American Hall in San Francisco.  And on November 25, he’ll be headlining at the legendary Troubadour in West Hollywood, California.
