The H Files with Kevin Hillier Episode 3 Jim Peterik & Gary U.S. Bonds

"Write a song that will outlive you and me" said Sly Stallone to Jim Peterik. The story behind Jim's iconic song Eye of the Tiger is just one of the tales he shares in this incredibly entertaining chat with Kevin. Jim brought his guitar and highlights some of his other chart topping smash hits including Vehicle by The Ides of March.    Gary U.S. Bonds has been making memorable music since the early sixties, a time when being a black singer in the USA came with very different social challenges. Gary recalls dealing with segregation on the road, his days touring and learning from Sam Cooke and of course his life-changing hook up with Bruce Springsteen - a partnership that revitalised his career and introduced his music to a whole new generation.  You know their songs, now meet the men: Jim Peterik and Gary U.S. Bonds.  Thanks to my podcast partners Murcotts Driving Excellence, superstars in their field.
