#842 - Don Black

Are you here? Let’s all take in a deep breath. Now, let’s all exhale. Go ahead, you’ll thank me.  Now that we’ve all shared a moment of quiet, let’s begin another episode of The Paul Leslie Hour. Welcome!

We’ve got an interview from the archives with Sir Don Black. There are so many great talks out there and it is our goal to make them available on as many platforms as possible.

Sir Don Black is a lyricist and inductee of the Songwriters Hall of Fame who has written songs with some of the most celebrated composers in history: Andrew Lloyd Webber, Quincy Jones, John Barry, Michel Legrand, Henry Mancini, Michael Jackson, Marvin Hamlisch, and Charles Strouse, just to name a few.

In addition to being a lyricist, Black has worked as a stand-up comedian, song plugger, radio personality and personal manager to the late Matt Monro. It was a great pleasure for Paul to interview him. We think you’ll enjoy listening.

We thank each and everyone for listening to the show. We also like to give extra thanks to everyone who supports independent media by going to thepaulleslie.com/support We thank every single person who contributes.

And now folks, we have nothing left to do but sit back and listen to this interview with lyricist Don Black. Let’s listen together.
