Send us your comment, please Episode starts with a rarily used trailer by mentor and teacher Rainer Wallraf (in English for Popmundial), an icon for POPMUNDIAL, did a lot for me, Yours the producer, and for Popmundial Rainer and me, were the first to present: The American Songbook, Rainer loved so much: George Gershwin, Irving Berlin, Cole Porter aso. The American Songbook, the crooners, the melodic jazz Pioneers. But don't forget, Rainerle, for me, you, the audience in Radio, always remembered: there's the composer and the lyrics!!! It's Evita by Andrew Llyod Webber and Michael Kunze (Vienees version by Peter Weck) At the beginning of this podcast, I introduce a trailer presented by Rainer, produced by Yours Truely, it is rarel rarely used: because Showtime Europe was to become Euroshowtime and later in 1999 Popmundial Radio. Music-wise: I thought a lot of what to present? You hear a very RARE Fred Astaire , tapping, singing, presenting himsel in a rare tv concert, later some original clips from his films, ending with two of his ever last recordings, recorded in London. Happy listening! Rainer knew all and was my teacher. Listen also to to RAINER WALLRAF shows online: His retirement (produced by myself), 1999 And His Flagship , stunning Andrew Lloyd Webber Portrait, part 1 (we never finished part 2, sadly) Or simple searching for Rainer Wallraf at our podcasts. The composer, Sir Andrew, we interviewed about 25 times together. The photos on Facebook date to 1999 and earlier 50 years of Hair, the musical , which was celebrated in Vienna by Peter Weck. That's the photo presented here.
