482 - Sid Tepper

The Sid Tepper Interview is featured on The Paul Leslie Hour.

Legendary Songwriter Sid Tepper was born in 1918 and passed away in 2015. I had the chance to interview him. Audio interviews with Tepper are rare. Along with Roy C. Bennett, Sid Tepper wrote more songs for Elvis Presley than any songwriter in history.

Some 300 of his songs are published. Many performed and recorded his songs: Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Dean Martin, Wayne Newton, Sarah Vaughan, Peggy Lee, Cliff Richard, Rosemary Clooney and so many others.

He was a songwriting genius. Originally broadcast on the radio, it's an honor to present this interview to you all.

The Paul Leslie Hour is a talk show dedicated to “Helping People Tell Their Stories.” Some of the most iconic people of all time drop in to chat. Frequent topics include Arts, Entertainment and Culture.
