Show notes

Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth interview with Singing Legend Peggy Lee’s Granddaughter, Holly Foster Wells

About Harvey's guest:

One of the most popular features of our show is our “Gone But Not Forgotten” series, celebrating the careers and legacies of the greatest stars who are no longer with us.

Today’s guest, Holly Foster Wells, is descended from show business royalty. She’s the granddaughter of one of the most popular and beloved music artists of all time: the fabulous Peggy Lee, whose contributions to the world of popular music and jazz were monumental.

Over her 7-decade career, she recorded over 1100 songs and released over 50 albums, with over a hundred top 100 hit singles, including “Somebody Else is Taking My Place”, “Why Don’t You Do Right”, “Golden Earings”, “Riders in the Sky”, “Is That All There Is”, “Lover”, and of course, everybody’s favourite, “Fever”, for which SHE came up with that distinctive arrangement, AND she wrote new lyrics.

As a matter of fact, Peggy Lee was an extraordinary songwriter, who wrote or co-wrote over 270 songs, including her hits “Little Fool”, “What More Can a Woman Do”, “I Don’t Know Enough About You”, “It’s a Good Day”, and “Manana”. For the Disney movie “Lady and the Tramp”, she co-wrote ALL of the original songs, and she supplied the singing and speaking voices of 4 characters. She also wrote songs for many other movies, including “Anatomy of a Murder”, “The Jazz Singer”, “The Rawhide Years”, “Johnny Guitar”, “Tom Thumb”, “The Heart is a Lonely Hunter”, “The Russians are Coming, The Russians are Coming”, “Walk, Don’t Run”, and many more. She appeared in 10 movies including “Stage Door Canteen”, “The Powers Girl”, “Jazz Ball”, “Mr. Music”, “The Jazz Singer”, and my personal favourite, “Pete Kelly’s Blues”, for which she received an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress, and the Audience Award for Most Promising Female Personality of 1955.

Ms Lee received 13 Grammy Award nominations including 1 win, plus a Lifetime Achievement Grammy Award. She was the first female recipient of 2 awards from the Songwriters Guild of America: the Aggie Award, for her composing skills, and the President’s Award, for her support of young, emerging songwriters. In 1990 she won the ASCAP Pied Piper Award, and 2 years later she was inducted into the Songwriters’ Hall of Fame. She received 2 honorary doctorates, a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and in 2020 the ASCAP Foundation established the Annual Peggy Lee Songwriter Award.

Peggy Lee was a creative powerhouse, who directed her life and career on her own terms. But for her millions of fans, it’s all about her quietly captivating voice, that continues to resonate with audiences of all ages.

Harvey Brownstone Interviews Phyllis Taylor, Life Coach, Mediator, Motivational Speaker, Author, “The Prison Lady: True Stories and Life Lessons From Both Sides of the Bars” Jun 30, 2023

Show notes

Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth interview with Phyllis Taylor, Life Coach, Mediator, Motivational Speaker, Author, “The Prison Lady: True Stories and Life Lessons From Both Sides of the Bars”

About Harvey's guest:

Today’s guest, Phyllis Taylor, is a remarkable woman who reinvented herself in a most innovative and unique way, following her retirement from a 30-year career as a paralegal, technical writer and training specialist at a major law firm.

After attending one of Oprah Winfrey’s public speaking engagements, she decided to become a volunteer in prisons, where, for the past decade, she has worked with countless male and female inmates to develop their self esteem, anger management, problem solving skills, positive thinking, and a variety of life skills and coping mechanisms to help them in the rehabilitative process.

Her unique combination of interpersonal skills, compassion, common sense and a huge heart, made her an immensely popular and sought-after personality within the jail system, and she was even awarded “Volunteer of the Year” at one of Canada’s largest women’s prisons.

Her experiences in the jails, and the many insights she learned not only about the correctional system, but from the prisoners she worked with, are the subject of her fascinating book entitled, “The Prison Lady: True Stories and Life Lessons From Both Sides of the Bars”.

This is an entertaining, moving and inspirational book full of empathy and profound perceptions about an almost totally neglected and forgotten segment of society. Her book resonated with me on multiple levels, not only because of my 26 year career as a family and criminal court judge, but because this woman has articulated so beautifully, the key to what it means to live a meaningful and purposeful life.

In addition to her work in prisons and as a writer, she’s a certified life coach, mediator and motivational speaker. But in my opinion, she’s much, much more than that. She’s a HEALER.
