3/4. Singer Patti Labelle tells the story of record-producer giant
Richard Perry , who has had a hit with just about every genre in his field. Having made a certain name for himself in the 60s with such acts as Tiny Tim, Fats Domino, Captain Beefheart and Ella Fitzgerald , Perry further cemented his reputation in the early 70s with career-defining albums for Harry Nilsson , Carly Simon and Ringo Starr. This edition features
Leo Sayer , who discusses Perry's famed Studio 55 in Los Angeles, and Albert Hammond , who wrote To All the Girls I've Loved Before - a 1984 Perry-produced duet hit for Julio Iglesias and Willie Nelson.
