Episode 101 - John Parr

We talk to John Parr - Grammy nominated singer songwriter who took over the American airwaves in the 1980s with chart smashes such as 'Naughty Naughty', movie soundtrack hits from 'The Running Man' and 'Three Men & A Baby' as well as his huge number 1 hit single 'Man In Motion' from 'St. Elmo's Fire'. John reveals how a working class lad from Worksop with an old school work ethic and insatiable passion for music would become a much sought after songwriter working with likes of hit makers such as Meat Loaf, Harold Faltermeyer and David Foster.This episode is brought to you by our friends Dead Skull Coffee.https://deadskullcoffee.co.uk/discount/STVPlease visit The Straight To Video Patreon Page to find out how you can help grow this show.https://www.patreon.com/stvpodSpecial thanks to Affinity Photo - The hottest photo editing software on iPad, Mac & PChttps://affinity.serif.com/photoIntro Music by Johnny Monacohttps://www.johnnymonaco.com Incidental Music by Night Fires Please visit The 80s Video Shop Patreon Page to find out how you can help grow our very own 80s Video Shop. https://www.patreon.com/80sVideoShop
