Interview with Music Historian Denny Somach

from Billy Joel A to Z

After our "Rosalinda" episode (not "Rosalinda's Eyes") we spoke about a man named Denny Somach who is the only person who booked and subsequently recorded Billy Joel at a show at the Roxy Theater around Allentown Pennsylvania. Well, we were able to track him down and today he is our guest on Billy Joel A to Z. Denny may own the only known recording of "Rosalinda" on the planet. So there's that. Denny is also a music historian. He has written 2 books on the Beatles and created the show "Get the Led Out" - the Led Zeppelin Radio Show. He also created a legendary NBC show when MTV wasn't everywhere called, "Friday Night Videos", which Dave can even remember the theme song. 😀 Hosted on Acast.
