Episode 174: In Conversation With Billy Vera (Part 2)

Our conversation with author/actor/musician Billy Vera concludes with an episode that touches on so many different aspects of this great man's career.

Billy started his professional career as a songwriter, but soon moved to a higher-profile gig as part of the duo Billy Vera and Judy Clay. After a successful album called "Storybook Children", Billy kicked off a solo career that has spanned decades, starting with 1968's "With Pen in Hand" up to the recent "Timeless" album, released in 2019.

In the mid-1980s, Billy had a number one hit with "At this Moment". In this interview, we discuss in detail his first number one hit, "I Really Got the Feeling", which Dolly Parton took to the top of the charts in 1979.

We also talk about Billy's time on both the small screen and the big screen, including an episode on Brian's favorite TV Drama, "Wiseguy."

Other topics that we cover in this second episode:

  • · Compiling his hit album "By Request" for Rhino Records
  • · Appearing on 80's Era TV and meeting Dick Clark
  • · His appearances on and relationship with Johnny Carson
  • · His star on Hollywood Boulevard and Angie Dickinson
