    Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth Interview with Felipe Rose, Original Member of “The Village People”

    About Harvey's guest:

    Today’s guest, Felipe Rose, is an original member of one of the most phenomenally popular and beloved music groups of all time: The Village People, who brought us many unforgettable hits we just couldn’t stop singing and dancing to, including “YMCA”, “San Francisco”, “In the Navy”, “Macho Man”, “Go West”, “Everybody Is a Star in Hollywood”, “I Am What I Am”, and many more.

    They had some of the biggest hits of the 70s, and of course, the Village People starred in the classic 1980 movie, “Can’t Stop the Music”. Our guest was dressed as an Indigenous American, along with his bandmates Alex Briley, the military man, David Hodo, the construction worker, Randy Jones, the cowboy, Glen Hughes, the leather man, and lead singer Victor Willis, who was sometimes a cop and sometimes a naval officer.

    The Village People had enormous success, with 25 gold and platinum records, an American Music Award, 2 Billboard Music Awards, a George M. Cohan Entertainer of the Year Award, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. And in 2020, the American Library of Congress inducted the song “YMCA” into the National Recording Registry, which preserves audio recordings considered to be "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."

    In addition to his work with the Village People, our guest has had a great solo music career, recording singles including “Trail of Tears”, "We're Still Here," “Red Hawk Woman”, "Going Back to My Roots," “Dance Again” - and now, his brand new single, “That’s What You Are”.

    This single, which was released on June 21, is now available on every major music streaming platform. Our guest has won 5 Native American Music Awards and in 2008, he was inducted into the Native American Music Hall of Fame.

    Harvey Brownstone Interviews Zoro, World Renowned Drummer, Author, “Maria’s Scarf” Jun 03, 2024
    Show notes

    Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth Interview with Zoro, World Renowned Drummer, Author, “Maria’s Scarf”

    About Harvey's guest:

    Today’s guest, Zoro, is a world-renowned rock, R&B, and hip-hop drummer, who is widely referred to as “the minister of groove."

    He has spent over 4 decades performing with many music superstars including Lenny Kravitz, New Edition, Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons, Bobby Brown, Sean Lennon, Lisa Marie Presley, French superstar Vanessa Paradis and Philip Bailey of Earth, Wind & Fire. He’s been voted the number one R&B drummer in the world numerous times by Modern Drummer Magazine and Drum Magazine.

    He’s also a highly accomplished author of 4 books about music: “The Commandments of R&B Drumming”, “The Commandments of Early Rhythm and Blues Drumming”, “The Big Gig: Big Picture Thinking for Success”, and “The Commandments of the Half-Time Shuffle”. In addition, he is an immensely influential and inspirational educator and motivator, with a passion for helping people achieve their potential and attain success. He’s the author of a highly popular book entitled, “SOAR: 9 Proven Keys for Unlocking Your Limitless Potential”.

    And today, he’s here to talk about his brand new book, which I absolutely loved, entitled, “Maria’s Scarf: A Memoir of a Mother’s Love, a Son’s Perseverance, and Dreaming Big”. This is an incredibly heartfelt and heart wrenching autobiography, chronicling our guest’s tumultuous journey as the fatherless, bi-racial child of a Mexican immigrant single mother, who somehow managed to raise her 7 children in an atmosphere of love, courage, faith, tenacity and optimism. From the impoverished and notorious streets of Compton in South-Central Los Angeles, to the harsh realities of rural Oregon - this is a man who, thanks to his mother’s many sacrifices and unbreakable resilience, overcame countless almost insurmountable obstacles of abject poverty, racism and adversity.

    He was an insecure little boy who grew up longing for the love and approval of an absent father, and struggling with identity, self-worth and craving a sense of belonging. Thanks to the love and guidance of his mother, and the unshakable bonds that kept his family together, he ultimately harnessed and channelled his pain, anguish and ambition, together with his love of music and rhythm, to become one of the world’s most successful and respected drummers. This book is so poignant, so uplifting and inspirational, that I just HAD to invite the author, Zoro to our show.

    Harvey Brownstone Interviews Music Superstar Jackie Evancho May 30, 2024
    Show notes

    Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth Interview with Music Superstar Jackie Evancho

    About Harvey's guest:

    Today’s guest, Jackie Evancho, is a highly popular and beloved singer-songwriter who became a worldwide sensation at the age of 10 years old when she dazzled television audiences in 2010 with her beautiful, angelic voice, on Season 5 of America’s Got Talent.

    Since then, she’s had a phenomenal multi-gold and platinum career, with 9 studio albums, 8 of which went to number 1, 3 number 1 live albums and DVDs, 30 top 20 singles, 3 highly acclaimed PBS concert specials, and 3 EPs, including her latest EP just released, entitled “Solla”. She’s performed with some of the biggest names in music including David Foster, Placido Domingo, Tony Bennett, Barbra Streisand, José Carreras, Andrea Bocelli and many more.

    She has had many firsts in her spectacular career. She was the youngest top-10 debut artist in US history, as well as being the youngest top-5 debut artist in the history of the UK, and she holds the record for being the youngest platinum selling solo recording artist in history. Her albums have been on the Billboard Charts for a cumulative total of more than 500 weeks. She’s performed at the top concert venues in the world, and she is also the youngest person ever to give a solo concert at Lincoln Center in New York City.

    And now, at the age of 24, our guest has moved well beyond her life as a child prodigy, and has evolved into a mature singer-songwriter, expressing her unique brand of creativity and artistry by telling her truth musically, most recently by collaborating with Smash Mouth’s founding member and principal songwriter, Greg Camp, who produced her most recent EP, “Solla”.

    Throughout her career, music critics from around the world have been falling over themselves searching for the appropriate superlatives to describe our guest’s amazing voice, using words like “magical”, “miraculous”, “flawless”, “celestial”, “superhuman”, “angelic”, but I think Gia Tolentino of The New Yorker magazine said it best when she described our guest’s voice as “supernaturally blissful”.

    Harvey Brownstone Interviews Linda Ambrus Broenniman, Author, “The Politzer Saga” May 28, 2024
    Show notes

    Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth Interview with Linda Ambrus Broenniman, Author, “The Politzer Saga”

    About Harvey's guest:

    Today’s guest, Linda Ambrus Broenniman, has quite a fascinating and important story to tell. She and her 6 siblings were raised by her parents, Julian and Clare Ambrus, who were highly respected doctors in Buffalo, New York.

    Although she and her siblings were given very few details of her family history, she knew that her parents had immigrated to America from Hungary in 1949, and her paternal grandmother came from Hungary to live with them in 1956. And she knew that her parents were Catholic, and that’s how she was raised.

    Then, in 1983, at the age of 27, she learned, quite by accident, that her father and his family were Jewish. And then a miracle happened. Following a house fire in 2011, a box full of important documents and photographs, that had been hidden away, somehow survived. The contents of that box launched our guest on a quest – an intensive search to uncover her family history, through a meticulous and arduous process of examining gravestones, newspaper ads and a myriad of government, school and synagogue records.

    Her search for the truth, beginning in the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the 1700’s, ultimately allowed her to piece together the astonishing saga of her Jewish ancestors – the Politzer family – a family of doctors, lawyers, entrepreneurs, writers, musicians, art collectors, and philanthropists. She learned of their remarkable struggles, bravery and resilience in surviving religious persecution, wars, epidemics, economic upheavals, and of course, the Holocaust perpetrated by Nazi Germany in World War 2.

    Our guest has written a compelling book, entitled “The Politzer Saga”, which not only honours the memories of her lost family and shows us how finding our roots can help anchor your own place in the world. But more importantly, she’s illuminated the history of the Jewish community in Hungary over 300 years, showing us the destructive power of hatred, dehumanization, and injustice - a powerful story encompassing issues that, sadly, still resonate today.

    The Politzer Saga is also the subject of a permanent Exhibit which was launched in August 2021 at the Rumbach Synagogue in Budapest.
