Lenny Welch interview, 2000
It's the twenty-first anniversary of the final week of my day-to-day radio career, and we're catching up with some of the hitmakers on CISL's Wakeup Club! Lenny Welch's wistful romantic ballad "Since I Fell For You" was a huge hit around this time in 1963 and it's a perennial favourite with CISL listeners. In this November 2000 interview, Lenny and I talk about Archie Bleyer, the creative genius behind Cadence Records. You'll instantly recognize two of Lenny's Cadence labelmates: The Everly Brothers and Andy Williams. I pass along a compliment from a mutual friend, and Lenny and I talk about my retirement.
