Reliving My Youth

The Hustle's Jon Lamoreaux is back as we count down our favorite soundtrack songs of the 1990's. This episode is our top ten songs. Did your favorites make our list?

I catch up with Anthony Starke, who probably had the best one-off guest starring role on Seinfeld, Jimmy. Anthony talks about getting the role and what he personally brought to it. Anthony starred alongside George Clooney in the cult classic, Return of the Killer Tomatoes. Throughout his career, Anthony has worked with some of the greatest comedians and comedic actors of all-time, Jackie Gleason, George Burns, George Carlin, Leslie Nielsen and Tom Hanks.

I catch up with Kevin Griffin, founding member and lead singer of Better Than Ezra. Kevin's debut solo album, Anywhere You Go, comes out October 4th. Besides writing for himself and BTE, Kevin has also collaborated with the likes of Sugarland, James Blunt, Christina Perri, Taylor Swift, Train, Howie Day, Missy Higgins, Daniel Powter, Augustana, Debbie Harry, and Josh Radin. We break down some of BTE's biggest hits like "In The Blood" and "Desperately Wanting".

Ephraim Lewis was on his way to becoming a star. His debut album, Skin, released in 1992, garnered a lot of critical acclaim. It featured the singles, "Drowning in Your Eyes" and "It Can't Be Forever." While working on his second album, Ephraim tragically died 25 years ago. The cause of his death has been conflicting. Sadly, Ephraim's music has been forgotten in the mainstream. Little information can be found online about him. I chat with Hope Silverman, founder of the Picking Up Rocks blog, about Ephraim's place in music.

I catch up with singer-songwriter Robert Tepper, who is best known for No Easy Way Out, which was featured on the Rocky IV soundtrack. Robert talks about how his album of the same name was impacted as a result of the soundtrack. Before landing on the soundtrack, Robert collaborated with Benny Mardones on Into The Night, which charted twice. Robert has released some fantastic albums. His latest, Better Than The Rest, comes out September 27th.

I catch up with actor Jesse Kove. His latest movie, D-Day, depicts a historic battle that many do not know about, “The Battle of Pointe du Hoc.” Jesse is the son of Martin Kove of The Karate Kid fame. Jesse talks about getting in the business, working with his father and seeing The Karate Kid for the first time.

I catch up with Adrian Lee, former keyboardist of Mike and The Mechanics. The band had massive hits with "The Living Years", "All I Need is a Miracle" and "Silent Running". Adrian talks about getting involved with Mike Rutherford and the tragic loss of Paul Young. Prior to his work with the band, Adrian toured with Cliff Richard and was in the band, Toyah. He has produced Stephen Bishop, Joan Armatrading, Chris de Burgh and 10cc. Adrian talks about working with Mark King prior to forming Level 42.

I catch up with actor and screenwriter Tim Stack, who is best known for his roles on Son of the Beach and Night Stand with Dick Dietrick. Tim talks about getting his start in the business and working with improvisational comedy group The Groundlings. Tim explains why Night Stand is not on any of the streaming services and what talk show hosts gave him feedback on his role as Dick Dietrick. Tim wrote several episodes of My Name is Earl and even portrayed "himself" on the show. Tim guest starred on a number of TV shows included Seinfeld, where he played Kramer's optometrist friend Dwayne.

I catch up with Jean-Marc Pisapia, lead singer and founder of The Box. The Canadian band had multiple hit singles in their country including "Closer Together", "L'Affaire Dumoutier (Say to Me)", and "Crying Out Loud for Love". The group broke up in 1992, but a new lineup of the band was founded by Jean-Marc in 2005. Jean-Marc was an early member of Men Without Hats.

I catch up with Darryl Vidal, who played himself in The Karate Kid, which is celebrating its 35th anniversary. Darryl had an extensive background in the martial arts prior to filming. Perhaps Darryl's great contribution to the movie was the crane technique. He talks about the kick's place in pop culture.
