About Harvey's guests:

Today’s guest, Sanford K. Sanford, is the son of one of the most popular and beloved stars in the history of television, Isabel Sanford, whose portrayal of Louise Jefferson – or “Weezy”, as we came to know her – first on “All in the Family”, and then for 11 seasons on “The Jeffersons”, made her a household name.

After a distinguished career on the stage, she landed the role of “Tillie” in the classic 1967 movie, “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner”, opposite Katherine Hepburn, Spencer Tracy and Sydney Poitier. From there, she was cast as Louise Jefferson, next door neighbour to “the Bunkers” on the groundbreaking TV show, “All in the Family”. And THAT led to the incredibly successful spinoff, “The Jeffersons”.

Isabel Sanford received 7 Emmy Award nominations, and WON an Emmy in 1981, making her the first and still the only African American woman to win an Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series. She was also nominated for 5 Golden Globe Awards. She won TWO NAACP Image Awards, and in 1981 she won a Genie Award from the American Women in Radio and Television Association. And in 1985 she received an Honorary Doctorate from Emerson College. She has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. And in 2004, she and her co-star Sherman Hemsley, won a TV Land Award for Favourite Cantankerous Couple.

Our guest has written a wonderful, heartwarming book, entited, “Her Fans Call Her Weezy But I Call Her Mom”, in which he shares many poignant and life-altering moments with his beloved Mama, and allows us to get to know the real person behind the beloved actress – a courageous single mother of 3 children who, despite many challenges in her life, showed remarkable determination and remained focused on becoming a successful actress. Our guest has had a successful music career as a percussionist, and he’s worked with Quincy Jones, Marvin Gaye, Johnny Guitar Watson, Bobby Womack, Cuba Gooding Sr. and The Main Ingredient.

About Harvey's guests:

Today’s guest, Peter Cincotti, is a renowned pianist, singer-songwriter and concert and recording artist who burst on the music scene at the age of 18, when he became the youngest artist ever to reach #1 on the Billboard Jazz Charts, with the 2003 release of his self-titled debut album.

Since then, he’s been dazzling audiences around the world with his ingenious musical arrangements and unique fusion of jazz, pop, rock, funk and blues, performing sold-out concerts at some of the most prestigious venues from Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and Radio City Music Hall to L’Olympia in Paris, Queen Elizabeth Hall in London, and the Montreux Jazz Festival, where he won an award for his rendition of Dizzy Gillespie's “A Night in Tunisia”.

He’s released 6 highly acclaimed albums, produced by legends like Phil Ramone and David Foster. He’s collaborated with many iconic music stars including Ray Charles, Andrea Bocelli, Sting, Annie Lennox, David Guetta and Seal. He appeared in the blockbuster films “Spiderman 2” and “Beyond the Sea”. And yes, that was him in Season 3, episode 3 of the hit Netflix series “House of Cards”, appearing as himself, singing a duet with the President.

His latest album 'Killer On The Keys' is an homage to some of the most influential piano icons of all time, and blends influences ranging from Nat King Cole, Billy Joel, and Lady Gaga, to John Lennon and Coldplay. And last December, his new original Christmas song 'Because It's Christmas' reached #25 on the US Top 40 Mainstream Billboard Chart, #12 on the Holiday Top 15 Chart, and #3 on the Independent Artists Chart.

And let’s not forget that she was the original “Jenna Wade” on “Dallas”. She also guest starred on the most popular TV shows including “Mork & Mindy”, “Roseanne”, “Friends”, “Happy Days”, “The Bob Newhart Show”, “Police Woman”, “Kojak”, “Murder, She Wrote”, and dozens more. She’s appeared in some great miniseries including “The Dream Merchants”, “Too Old to Die Young” and “North and South, Parts 1 and 2”.

And most recently, she co-starred with Donna Mills, Nicolette Sheridan, and 2 of my friends who recently appeared on our show, Loni Anderson and Linda Gray, in a delightful TV movie entitled, “Ladies of the 80s: A Divas Christmas”, co-written by Stan Zimmerman, who appeared on our show last week.

On stage, our guest starred in the off-Broadway play “Geniuses”, which was named by Time Magazine and the New York Times as one of the top 10 plays of 1983. But our guest is much, much more than a talented, beautiful and glamorous Hollywood star.

She’s an extremely dedicated and highly respected humanitarian. She’s been in the forefront as an outspoken and dedicated advocate in the fight against AIDS, the pro-choice movement and many environmental issues. In fact, she helped found the Environmental Communications Office, which fosters education and activism among entertainment industry professionals.

And somehow, on top of everything else she’s done, she found time in the 80’s to write a book providing beauty tips, and she’s also on the Board of Directors of SAG-AFTRA.

About Harvey's guests:

Today’s special guest, Taylor Dayne, is an iconic singer, songwriter and actress whose distinctive vocal style and powerful range catapulted her to global superstardom in 1987 with her #1 debut single "Tell It to My Heart".

In 2019, our guest released a highly compelling, insightful and inspirational memoir entitled, “Tell it to my Heart”, sharing her personal journey of turning obstacles and vulnerability into resilience, strength, success and personal fulfillment.

About Harvey's guests:

Today’s guest, Charles Pignone, is a producer and author who is instrumental in preserving, perpetuating and honouring the legacy of the most popular and beloved vocalist and entertainer of all time, Frank Sinatra.

His close association with the Sinatra family, which has been ongoing for over 40 years, began in 1984, when at the age of 18, he became the President of the Sinatra Society of America. That position allowed him to get to know Frank Sinatra and his family, and evolved into a full time job, culminating in his current position as senior vice president of Frank Sinatra Enterprises.

He’s produced several books about Sinatra, starting with “The Sinatra Treasures: Intimate Photos, Mementos, and Music from the Sinatra Family Collection”, which is filled with never-before-seen photos, letters and mementos from the Sinatra family archives. Then, in 2007 he released “Frank Sinatra: The Family Album”, which chronicles the private life of the iconic star, filled with rare photos, and firsthand recollections and stories from his family and close friends.

And then in 2015, to commemorate Sinatra’s 100th birthday, our guest, in conjunction with Sinatra’s 3 children, released a book entitled, “Sinatra 100”, which is an intimate and dramatic visual portrait of Frank Sinatra, revealing many of the previously unseen moments in a remarkable life. Our guest also wrote the beautiful commemorative programs for the 2 groundbreaking multi-media concert productions – the first one in 2003 at Radio City Music Hall entitled, “Sinatra: His Voice, His World, His Way”, and the second one in 2006, “Sinatra At the London Palladium”.

He produced a wonderful documentary called “The Rat Pack Captured”, as well as the 2011 TV Special, “Sinatra Sings”. And he was an executive producer on the excellent 2015 miniseries, “Sinatra: All or Nothing at All”.

He’s produced dozens of albums and box sets including some of my favourites, “Frank Sinatra: Nothing But The Best”, “Frank Sinatra: Vegas” and “The Rat Pack Live and Swingin’: The Ultimate Rat Pack Collection”.

And if all of that weren’t enough, our guest also produced a fascinating book entitled, “The Copa: Jules Podell and the Hottest Club North of Havana”, which is a beautifully illustrated history and a mesmerizing look behind the scenes at the legendary Copacabana nightclub in New York.
