- 1:11Speaker 4: different celebrations. I from my heart just want to tell
- 1:15Speaker 4: you what a gift each and every one of you
- 1:17Speaker 4: is to me. I can't thank you enough for being
- 1:20Speaker 4: here today and each and every day as we celebrate
- 1:24Speaker 4: the crazy thing called the Corell Cast. You know, I
- 1:27Speaker 4: was thinking a lot about what to do for today's show,
- 1:29Speaker 4: and I know that listenership is down because of the holiday,
- 1:33Speaker 4: but you know, Christmas is about wishes and about dreams.
- 1:38Speaker 4: Christmas is about hope and renewal. And one thing that
- 1:46Speaker 4: I will regret, I have regrets, is that I've never
- 1:49Speaker 4: taken my singing one billion percent serious. I always had
- 1:55Speaker 4: other things to do, talk, radio, live, comedy, writing, you know,
- 2:01Speaker 4: all these other things, and I never concentrated just on
- 2:05Speaker 4: my singing, and so many of my friends did. And
- 2:09Speaker 4: there have been times where I really doubted that I
- 2:12Speaker 4: had a great voice, because you know, maybe I didn't
- 2:14Speaker 4: have a number one single or whatever. And those self
- 2:19Speaker 4: doubt times, that imposter syndrome made it to where it
- 2:24Speaker 4: took me sixty three years of life to have songs
- 2:29Speaker 4: that are charting now today, as we today, as we
- 2:34Speaker 4: sit here, I have written a top five dance single
- 2:39Speaker 4: for thea Austin called We're Not Going Back, and my
- 2:44Speaker 4: new single I Dance because it is already reaching on
- 2:49Speaker 4: the year end charts of many record pools around the
- 2:53Speaker 4: country and around the world, naming it one of the
- 2:56Speaker 4: best dance singles of twenty twenty five. Took sixty three
- 3:00Speaker 4: years for that, because I finally stopped caring what people
- 3:05Speaker 4: thought about my voice. Yes, I sing in falsetto. I
- 3:10Speaker 4: was raised on R and B and in particular R
- 3:14Speaker 4: and B divas and the stylistics. I was raised on
- 3:19Speaker 4: music that my falsetto needed to sing, and then when
- 3:23Speaker 4: I met Well. I first heard Sylvester when I was
- 3:28Speaker 4: seventeen years old, sixteen years old, nineteen seventy eight, this big,
- 3:33Speaker 4: glamorous queen singing you make me feel mighty real or
- 3:37Speaker 4: disco heat. I knew. I just knew that I had
- 3:43Speaker 4: to sing like that. I had to have a bigger
- 3:46Speaker 4: than life PERSONA. Talk radio has been very good to me,
- 3:51Speaker 4: very look at this house. Talk radio has been very
- 3:54Speaker 4: good to me. But my heart of hearts, I always
- 3:58Speaker 4: wanted to be barbar sound. I wanted to be a
- 4:02Speaker 4: singer who acts. I wanted to be a singer who writes,
- 4:08Speaker 4: a singer who does now she always wanted to be
- 4:10Speaker 4: an actress who sings. I wanted to be a singer
- 4:14Speaker 4: who acted, and a singer who did television and had
- 4:18Speaker 4: a TV show like Dinah Shore. She is a singer.
- 4:22Speaker 4: So I always dreamed that I'd have a TV show
- 4:25Speaker 4: where I sang and then interviewed people and then wrote books.
- 4:29Speaker 4: And I've kind of mixed that up in my life.
- 4:32Speaker 4: But you know, and I'm doing this show today to
- 4:36Speaker 4: maybe inspire you all you know and show you the
- 4:40Speaker 4: evolution of where I came from musically. I've never done this.
- 4:46Speaker 4: I've never devoted a show to my music. Now, my
- 4:51Speaker 4: very first professional recordings I don't have anymore. I rented
- 4:55Speaker 4: a studio in Santa Anna, California, and I sang two
- 4:58Speaker 4: songs I shouldn't have. I sang Patty the Bells, kiss
- 5:01Speaker 4: Away the Pain, and I really I don't remember the
- 5:05Speaker 4: second song that I recorded. I do remember kiss Away
- 5:08Speaker 4: the Pain had notes I could have never hit at
- 5:10Speaker 4: that age, but I did it. And then I met
- 5:15Speaker 4: Vesta Williams, and I started working with Vesta as a publicist,
- 5:21Speaker 4: as an assistant, as whatever she needed, writer, whatever she needed,
- 5:26Speaker 4: and as a thank you. As a thank you for that,
- 5:31Speaker 4: Michael Eckhart, who I had interviewed and I introduced him
- 5:36Speaker 4: to Vesta and he did some songs with Vesta. To
- 5:41Speaker 4: thank me, he brought me into the studio and recorded
- 5:45Speaker 4: my very first real professional single that I then released
- 5:50Speaker 4: on my own record label or a bit record, and
- 5:54Speaker 4: it actually sold eighty thousand copies of a twelve month single.

- 6:21Speaker 1: the show.
- 6:22Speaker 2: Let's give it a go. Correll is the one that
- 6:26Speaker 2: you need to know.
- 6:29Speaker 4: So Michael Eckhart, thanking me for introducing him to Vesta,
- 6:33Speaker 4: brought me into the studio and we recorded a song
- 6:37Speaker 4: called Everybody Get On Up, and it ended up on this,
- 6:42Speaker 4: my first album called Correl Dancer. Else Andrew did this
- 6:48Speaker 4: album cover. I call it My Meryl Streep Days with
- 6:50Speaker 4: the little hood around it, and on the back I
- 6:53Speaker 4: had an age ribbon because remember this was when nineteen
- 6:58Speaker 4: ninety five is when this kate, when I finally did
- 7:01Speaker 4: an album. I worked with not just Michael Ecord on this,
- 7:05Speaker 4: but I worked with let's see Andrew Sonic. I worked
- 7:10Speaker 4: with Sabby Sebastian Reyes, and then Michael Eckhart. There were
- 7:15Speaker 4: two songs off of here that I did videos for,
- 7:19Speaker 4: and the album contains Hipster Lipstein Martin, which I love.
- 7:23Speaker 4: You can find that online. My version of live to
- 7:26Speaker 4: tell which you're gonna see Get It Up, which was
- 7:30Speaker 4: a great song, Turn Up the House by Saby, keep
- 7:33Speaker 4: On Doing It, Free Love, Everybody, Get On Up l
- 7:36Speaker 4: O v Er a song about having a gay partner
- 7:40Speaker 4: in the nineties. And by the way, get It Up
- 7:43Speaker 4: on here was written by Holland Doser Holland. That's right,
- 7:49Speaker 4: Eddie Holland from Holland Doser Holland of the Supremes wrote
- 7:52Speaker 4: a song for me on this record. This record took
- 7:56Speaker 4: two years to create, gather all the songs. We recorded
- 7:59Speaker 4: it in garages and major studios. Oh my god. And
- 8:05Speaker 4: when I went in to record get On Up, Oh
- 8:07Speaker 4: my god, all I'm sorry, Yeah, get on Up, Get
- 8:12Speaker 4: it Up. I'm sorry. There's two songs, Everybody get on
- 8:14Speaker 4: Up and then get it Up. When I recorded Get
- 8:17Speaker 4: It Up with Eddie Holland and a full choir, I
- 8:21Speaker 4: was so scared by the way I recorded Everybody Get
- 8:24Speaker 4: On Up. In the eighties and I needed to do
- 8:27Speaker 4: a music video, so I went to a gay bar
- 8:31Speaker 4: in Buena Park, California, owned by Body Kohler, who owned
- 8:35Speaker 4: the DK West, and they let me film in there
- 8:38Speaker 4: and we shot on a cannon high eight I had
- 8:42Speaker 4: Karen be my keyboardist, and she had a student from
- 8:46Speaker 4: her class be my drummer. I stopped on a street
- 8:50Speaker 4: corner in south central LA on my way home from
- 8:54Speaker 4: working with Vesta and bought an outfit that was hanging
- 8:57Speaker 4: on a fence from a street purveyor. I had no money,
- 9:02Speaker 4: you know. We had to just do this video anyway
- 9:05Speaker 4: we could, and it ended up being my very first
- 9:08Speaker 4: music video. It's called Everybody get on Up, and here
- 9:13Speaker 4: it is.
- 9:37Speaker 3: Out. Everyone can do up what we don't done? Something
- 9:44Speaker 3: world don't count and make it clup? Why didn't can
- 9:48Speaker 3: be wro? What about that.
- 10:04Speaker 7: Joe coming and in that holloway.
- 10:45Speaker 8: The fool with the face n everybody shirt?
- 10:48Speaker 3: I not to hold.
- 10:55Speaker 9: Them, don't want you, don't do trun up, don't bot
- 11:47Speaker 9: you don't do trunhold up, hyeh.
- 12:28Speaker 10: Yeh yeh held up.
- 12:58Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, that is everybody get on up. By
- 13:01Speaker 4: the way, some of these videos are gonna be bad.
- 13:03Speaker 4: I had to download him from the internet. I don't
- 13:05Speaker 4: even have copies of my own video. So that big hair,
- 13:08Speaker 4: all that makeup, I was fat, but there I was
- 13:12Speaker 4: my very first music video with Karen Dittman. In it
- 13:15Speaker 4: as my keyboardist one of her students as my drummer
- 13:18Speaker 4: at a gay club in Buena Park. The song did well,
- 13:21Speaker 4: It charted, It charted on some dance club around the country,
- 13:26Speaker 4: and it actually sold eighty thousand copies, and it sold
- 13:29Speaker 4: enough so I could do another song. I met a
- 13:32Speaker 4: producer named Larry Larry Pace, I believe, and he wanted
- 13:36Speaker 4: me to do a cover of Madonna's Live to Tell.
- 13:41Speaker 4: And I really felt that song was about HIV AIDS
- 13:45Speaker 4: in my own mind, and I wanted to do a
- 13:48Speaker 4: video that reflected what I was seeing at the clubs,
- 13:51Speaker 4: people literally washing down their AIDS medication with alcohol. I
- 13:55Speaker 4: didn't understand it at the time. I condemned it at
- 13:58Speaker 4: the time, but now I get it. They were in
- 14:01Speaker 4: pain and they were trying to medicate. We got permission
- 14:05Speaker 4: from you know, we got a license, it's called a
- 14:07Speaker 4: mechanical license to do the song, and we did it,
- 14:13Speaker 4: and I was just so amazed that, you know, I
- 14:18Speaker 4: was doing another video. Now, I cut myself viciously. There's
- 14:23Speaker 4: a scene in the video where I throw out, very
- 14:25Speaker 4: dramatically smash all of these bottles. We didn't use Hollywood
- 14:30Speaker 4: bottles because we couldn't afford them. We used real empty bottles,
- 14:34Speaker 4: and the bar that I was doing it on had
- 14:36Speaker 4: a lip, and the bottles caught and my hands went
- 14:39Speaker 4: all across the broken. There's a scene in here where
- 14:43Speaker 4: I'm singing in a black velvet top with my arm
- 14:45Speaker 4: off to the side, and that someone was holding pressure
- 14:51Speaker 4: on a four inch wound on my hand. So we
- 14:55Speaker 4: could finish the video at Newport Station in Newport Beach,
- 14:59Speaker 4: Californi Newport Station. So let's say Bertie was in it,
- 15:05Speaker 4: a local hottie that and Bert my departed friend, Bert Critchfield.
- 15:11Speaker 4: He plays a bartender in it, So he is in it,
- 15:17Speaker 4: a departed friend of mine, Bert Cridgefield. And Bertie that
- 15:21Speaker 4: was what we called him, Birdie b r Dieu. He
- 15:24Speaker 4: plays the AIDS patient. Again, the video is going to
- 15:27Speaker 4: be choppy, it's not going to be the best quality.
- 15:30Speaker 4: Oh and there's two actual prostitutes behind a glass in
- 15:35Speaker 4: a steamy shower scene and they actually had sex on
- 15:39Speaker 4: my I found out later they they actually had sex
- 15:42Speaker 4: with each other after my video, and and I didn't.
- 15:47Speaker 4: I was like, wait a minute, it's my video, what
- 15:50Speaker 4: the hell? All right? So we'll play that when we
- 15:53Speaker 4: come back Live to Tell by Madonna, and I can't
- 15:57Speaker 4: wait for you to see it. So we'll be Are
- 16:00Speaker 4: we taking a break? I think we're taking a break.
- 16:03Speaker 4: Uh maybe not. I think we are. We should well
- 16:07Speaker 4: maybe not. Well, I guess my time is wrong. Well
- 16:11Speaker 4: we'll go to the video and if it if it
- 16:13Speaker 4: cuts out, uh, then well we'll finish the video afterwards.
- 16:17Speaker 4: But this is my version of Madonna's Live to Tell,
- 16:20Speaker 4: which I did about aids uh. And you know I
- 16:24Speaker 4: try to be topical uh in in these things.
- 16:37Speaker 8: If I ran away, I never have to drink to

- 21:59Speaker 4: Okay. Well you got to see most of it, and
- 22:01Speaker 4: I gotta tell you a lot of that footage we
- 22:04Speaker 4: had to reshoot. It was one of those horrible, horrible
- 22:07Speaker 4: situations where we shot it on film and the film
- 22:12Speaker 4: got destroyed in processing, and so we went back with
- 22:17Speaker 4: a video camera and reshot a lot of that film.
- 22:20Speaker 4: Both those dancers are now gay once said he wasn't
- 22:23Speaker 4: for a long time, then came out. And of course
- 22:25Speaker 4: that's the Austin in there that led me to Jellyban Benicez.
- 22:31Speaker 4: I was starting to do public gigs touring. Billboard magazine,
- 22:37Speaker 4: very supportive, named this album the number one dance album
- 22:41Speaker 4: or one of the top ten dance albums of the
- 22:42Speaker 4: year for nineteen ninety five. Larry Flick, who is still
- 22:47Speaker 4: my friend, had me perform around the country, and one
- 22:50Speaker 4: of the things he had me do was the Dance
- 22:52Speaker 4: Music Summit in Chicago. Jelly Bean Benicez saw me and
- 22:56Speaker 4: in a fairy tale moment. When I got back to
- 22:58Speaker 4: my hotel room, which had fax machine, there was a
- 23:01Speaker 4: fax contract from Jellybean Records, Jellybean, of course the person
- 23:05Speaker 4: behind Madonna and so many others, asking if I wanted
- 23:10Speaker 4: to do a single or a couple singles on his label.
- 23:13Speaker 4: The first one we did was I Am Andrew did
- 23:16Speaker 4: all the catering for the video. They flew me to
- 23:19Speaker 4: New York. I recorded with Brinsley Evans and others. We
- 23:22Speaker 4: stayed at the Mayflower Hotel. It was a dream come
- 23:25Speaker 4: true for me and Andrew. I was finally in New
- 23:28Speaker 4: York for me, not for somebody else riding in limos
- 23:31Speaker 4: being taken to parties, but with jelly Bean, hanging out
- 23:35Speaker 4: with Jellybean and all of his friends, very famous friends.
- 23:38Speaker 4: It was a fantasy, of course. We recorded in Brooklyn
- 23:44Speaker 4: in a studio apartment, but we did it. And then
- 23:48Speaker 4: I talked jelly Bean into helping me with the video.
- 23:51Speaker 4: He gave me twenty five hundred dollars. So we went
- 23:53Speaker 4: to the desert, me and THEA and my friend used
- 23:57Speaker 4: to take care of tour buses and he took care
- 23:59Speaker 4: of Sylvester Stallons, and we used Sylvester Stallone's tour bus
- 24:06Speaker 4: and we went up to the desert and we filmed
- 24:09Speaker 4: this video for I Am and out in the middle
- 24:15Speaker 4: of the desert, having no business whatsoever. The single did
- 24:19Speaker 4: very well. It charted as well. I don't know why
- 24:21Speaker 4: I did seven. I'm a charted single. I have it
- 24:23Speaker 4: charted in the dance pools and such. I just haven't
- 24:25Speaker 4: had one recently, but back in the nineties, I Am
- 24:28Speaker 4: did chart. The video got played on the box on
- 24:32Speaker 4: everything but MTV, every other video service, cash box, they
- 24:36Speaker 4: all played the video and it it really burst me
- 24:42Speaker 4: onto the scene. It got me more music coverage, more
- 24:44Speaker 4: magazine coverage. And it was an original song written by
- 24:49Speaker 4: Brinsley Evans and others, and I think Jellybean did some
- 24:52Speaker 4: part of it too. It's called I Am. And we
- 24:56Speaker 4: filmed this in the desert Andrew cooked like a hundred
- 24:58Speaker 4: chickens for the crew.
- 25:00Speaker 10: Uh.
- 25:01Speaker 4: And it was directed by Ricardo Martin and he was
- 25:06Speaker 4: this crazy European that I met and he was just
- 25:11Speaker 4: so European.
- 25:13Speaker 14: Uh.
- 25:14Speaker 4: It was something. But it's called I Am, and here
- 25:16Speaker 4: it is.
- 25:22Speaker 14: You're not gonna go there, are you?
- 25:24Speaker 15: Oh?
- 25:24Speaker 4: Yes, I am.
- 26:01Speaker 10: The same spot.
- 26:36Speaker 14: Sup per la perla, pierola, pierola, perla perla.
- 28:56Speaker 4: In that final shot of me walking in the road
- 28:59Speaker 4: with all that flowyes, if there's a truck coming, I
- 29:03Speaker 4: had to like jump out of the way. It was
- 29:06Speaker 4: so funny. Ricardo he edited that at the Dela Reente
- 29:10Speaker 4: Studios overnight for free with an editor who was working
- 29:14Speaker 4: on a movie with David Swimmer but had some downtime.
- 29:17Speaker 4: All of these videos were like for no money, called
- 29:20Speaker 4: in favors. That was me doing I Am by Jellybean Benitos.
- 29:26Speaker 4: Now all of this led to my biggest charting single
- 29:29Speaker 4: in the nineties, which was Don't Stop, a cover with
- 29:33Speaker 4: by Sylvester cover of Sylvester by being with Theia Austin
- 29:38Speaker 4: and Jeanie Tracy on background, Genie, who sang on the
- 29:41Speaker 4: original record, who still sings on my records.

- 30:40Speaker 4: happy Christmas, just dancing away with me watching some of
- 30:43Speaker 4: these certainly.
- 30:45Speaker 5: Uncensored, unfiltered, fun hinged.
- 30:49Speaker 6: It's the Corral cast. Listen daily on your favorite streaming service.
- 30:59Speaker 4: So I didn't have a video done for Don't Stop,
- 31:01Speaker 4: which is odd because it was my biggest charting single.
- 31:04Speaker 4: Was remixed by the Factory Team in Europe and Steve
- 31:08Speaker 4: Bronsky of Bronsky Beat because I opened for Bronsky Beat,
- 31:12Speaker 4: then they had me sing with them. It was a
- 31:14Speaker 4: dream come true. And then he remixed the single for
- 31:17Speaker 4: me along with the Factory Team in Europe, and all
- 31:20Speaker 4: of them became hits. It went to number ten in Europe. So, yeah,
- 31:25Speaker 4: I have charted before, haven't I guess? I say it
- 31:27Speaker 4: took me sixty three years to chart. I've actually charted.
- 31:30Speaker 5: See.
- 31:30Speaker 4: I take my music so not seriously that I forgot
- 31:33Speaker 4: that I charted with a lot of these things, and
- 31:36Speaker 4: Don't Stop certainly did chart a point of trivia. The cover,
- 31:40Speaker 4: which I don't have in front of me, was a
- 31:42Speaker 4: gallium scan that Andrew had because all this time Andrew
- 31:45Speaker 4: was fighting HIV AIDS and he went and had a
- 31:48Speaker 4: gallium scan and I thought it was such a cool
- 31:50Speaker 4: graphic that I used it as the cover. And there's
- 31:53Speaker 4: a dog hair on it and we left it there
- 31:55Speaker 4: because that was Owen's hair so immortalized on the Don't
- 31:59Speaker 4: Stop cover. Geenie Tracy, who did sing on the original
- 32:02Speaker 4: song for Sylvester and the Austin who was singing with me,
- 32:06Speaker 4: always did this now I didn't have a video, but
- 32:10Speaker 4: about two years ago, while bored here at the house,
- 32:12Speaker 4: I did a little performance video of it, and I'll
- 32:15Speaker 4: show you just a piece of that, and you can
- 32:18Speaker 4: go and find the actual song. It's out there. You
- 32:21Speaker 4: can find it on iTunes. It was a great honor
- 32:23Speaker 4: to sing this song. When Genie walked into the studio
- 32:26Speaker 4: she heard me singing, she thought it was Sylvester. She asked,
- 32:30Speaker 4: when are you going to take Sylvester off the track?
- 32:33Speaker 4: That was the biggest honor that anyone could ever pay me.
- 32:37Speaker 4: And you know, I've sung this song all over It
- 32:40Speaker 4: got me gigs all over the United States. Dallas, It's
- 32:43Speaker 4: where I opened with ru Paul and ended up not
- 32:45Speaker 4: liking him. All kinds of you know, different dates that
- 32:49Speaker 4: I got to do because of this song. And I
- 32:52Speaker 4: got to work more with Steve Bronsky because of this song.
- 32:55Speaker 4: So this song means a lot to me. It's called
- 32:57Speaker 4: don't Stop. Here's just a piece of it.
- 33:01Speaker 17: Honnatty, don't know, don't Sun?
- 33:57Speaker 10: You know?
- 33:59Speaker 3: I thought, I come then, bat be sunny happening.

- 36:17Speaker 1: Correll is so near because show time is here.
- 36:20Speaker 2: So on with the show. Let's give it a go.
- 36:24Speaker 2: Carrell is the one that you need to know.
- 36:29Speaker 4: So that was a little piece of don't stop. And
- 36:32Speaker 4: that song did did great for me and got me
- 36:35Speaker 4: more gigs and got me more notoriety. But then, just
- 36:40Speaker 4: as that song was happening, talk radio happened, Talk rate,
- 36:45Speaker 4: big talk radio happened, uh, and suddenly singing sort of
- 36:51Speaker 4: took a background. It really did. Right as that song
- 36:55Speaker 4: was taking off, I didn't do a follow up single
- 36:59Speaker 4: because all of a sudden we were doing different after dark,
- 37:03Speaker 4: we were doing Triangle broadcasting, and then of course KFI
- 37:09Speaker 4: and that just consumed everything, and I didn't do a
- 37:13Speaker 4: follow up single for a very very very long time.
- 37:18Speaker 4: I did parody songs, which a lot of you have
- 37:21Speaker 4: heard on the shows. I Lived to Walk My Dogs
- 37:24Speaker 4: and all of that, Medicated and songs like that. But
- 37:28Speaker 4: I didn't do a commercial single, and I regret that
- 37:33Speaker 4: I should have kept recording, especially on the heels of
- 37:36Speaker 4: a successful dance single like Don't Stop. So it took
- 37:41Speaker 4: me a long time to get inspired again to go
- 37:44Speaker 4: back into the studio, but I did. I heard Michelle
- 37:48Speaker 4: Obama say when they go low, we go high, and
- 37:51Speaker 4: I said, that's a song. And I called up Morgan Mallory,
- 37:57Speaker 4: Daniel Charleston who has now passed, and THEA and I said,
- 38:01Speaker 4: you know, I'm going to write a song about how
- 38:05Speaker 4: we shouldn't be all divided politically. We should be together,
- 38:10Speaker 4: We should be stronger together, Morgan wrote the music, Leo
- 38:14Speaker 4: Frapier did the remix, and Brandon Riley Miller did the video.
- 38:19Speaker 4: And again the song did okay. It didn't really chart,
- 38:24Speaker 4: didn't chart a lot, but it was well received and
- 38:27Speaker 4: got me a lot of media. And more importantly, the
- 38:31Speaker 4: video is an homage to Harvey Milk. And here is me, THEA,
- 38:37Speaker 4: the late Daniel Charleston and Morgan Mallory doing Stronger Together,
- 38:42Speaker 4: a song I wrote because of Michelle Obama saying when
- 38:45Speaker 4: they go low, we go high. Remember when she said
- 38:48Speaker 4: that I do.
- 39:00Speaker 10: Stop talk sick gat.
- 39:06Speaker 6: When they go along, we go.
- 39:11Speaker 10: Strong.
- 39:14Speaker 6: You start forcing to the sky.
- 39:19Speaker 10: Strong.
- 39:22Speaker 13: We must rem the Junie for strong, strong, even in
- 39:30Speaker 13: the docks and bust.
- 39:36Speaker 10: Song strong sim game time with me.
- 39:45Speaker 3: Strong, sim get strong, sim Ga to deal with the
- 40:09Speaker 3: well say.
- 40:13Speaker 10: Please don't know me.
- 40:22Speaker 13: Woice because it's the wist.
- 40:51Speaker 2: If you went to.
- 41:00Speaker 19: Ang ing aloud?
- 41:10Speaker 3: Right? Song is that so Christ.
- 41:21Speaker 10: Story?
- 41:24Speaker 3: Chick Chick so song chick.
- 42:27Speaker 4: The end of that of course the funeral or the
- 42:29Speaker 4: memorial for Harvey Milk and now I'm on the wall
- 42:32Speaker 4: in his plaza. That Stronger Together, written by me and
- 42:35Speaker 4: Morgan Mallory, was the first song that I ever wrote
- 42:39Speaker 4: that got sung by other people. Absolutely incredible experience to
- 42:43Speaker 4: hear all of them singing that song, and I got
- 42:48Speaker 4: to tell you, to this day, I'm very, very proud
- 42:50Speaker 4: of that song. So then I remember the the you know,
- 42:55Speaker 4: fight for gay marriage and the sanctity of marriage and
- 42:59Speaker 4: all of that, and I saw these married men that
- 43:03Speaker 4: were well fooling around, including the then president Donald Trump,
- 43:08Speaker 4: you know who would Stormy Daniels that had just come out,
- 43:10Speaker 4: and of course the fall Wells and just everybody that
- 43:13Speaker 4: said that gay marriage would hurt people. But then they're
- 43:16Speaker 4: out there dorking around. And I remembered a very important
- 43:19Speaker 4: album to me that Bette Midler actually hates thighs and
- 43:23Speaker 4: whispers from Bette Midler, and there was a song on
- 43:26Speaker 4: there called married Men. And I was my first year
- 43:29Speaker 4: in Vegas, so this is seven years ago, almost eight
- 43:33Speaker 4: years ago, and Brandon came up and me and Stephen
- 43:36Speaker 4: Brandon had such a good time filming around Vegas, and
- 43:41Speaker 4: I did Bette Midler's Married Men to sort of show
- 43:45Speaker 4: the hypocrisy. You can see the pictures of the married
- 43:48Speaker 4: men who are hypocrites in the video if you watch closely.
- 43:52Speaker 4: Because the world is full of married men. The modest
- 44:22Speaker 4: soul of married men with wives never understand. They're looking
- 44:30Speaker 4: for someone.
- 44:30Speaker 2: To share the upside.
- 44:33Speaker 10: Then have a love, and just as.
- 44:36Speaker 20: Soon as they find you, if they wind you in dying,
- 44:39Speaker 20: you fly on, hoping the romance or.
- 44:44Speaker 8: The end of the world, just another girl like a
- 44:48Speaker 8: married man.
- 44:51Speaker 20: Oh they too went, they too when they too were
- 44:54Speaker 20: They to wait again and again, Now they too w
- 45:00Speaker 20: They do.
- 45:00Speaker 2: Well they do where they do it?
- 45:03Speaker 4: The merry pen can we can feel so young?
- 45:10Speaker 6: But why is still.
- 45:14Speaker 4: He promises to marry you. Yeah, just as soon as
- 45:18Speaker 4: his divorce comes through.
- 45:21Speaker 3: Well, you're not just playing.
- 45:23Speaker 19: He's west, will find the love that will last side.
- 45:28Speaker 20: But as he's driving away, you know it's true what
- 45:31Speaker 20: they say about it. They say they do when they
- 45:37Speaker 20: do well they do when they do wet again and again?
- 45:43Speaker 4: Will they do when they do when they do?
- 45:46Speaker 2: When they do it?
- 45:48Speaker 8: The merry pan.
- 46:06Speaker 20: Yeah, when the scandal it's too hot to handle, you'll.
- 46:10Speaker 2: Say he just wants to be friends.
- 46:13Speaker 4: Because that he'll walk out your line and go all
- 46:16Speaker 4: to his wife.
- 46:17Speaker 3: God he then.
- 46:21Speaker 10: Go.
- 46:21Speaker 4: Your love is a secret. You've got to keep it
- 46:25Speaker 4: long and you can't.
- 46:29Speaker 10: Don't cry for your love.
- 46:30Speaker 4: There's always another.
- 46:33Speaker 3: Marry man man man.
- 46:37Speaker 8: They do, they do well, they do marry married man.
- 46:44Speaker 20: Scroll they do when they do, when they do, when
- 46:47Speaker 20: they do it, the married man.
- 46:52Speaker 2: The world is full of them.
- 46:55Speaker 3: Girls and boys. Now listen, Come on.
- 47:01Speaker 2: Then, don't you know?
- 47:05Speaker 10: I know the wading them.
- 47:07Speaker 3: They marry married man.
- 47:16Speaker 19: They do when they do, where they do, when they
- 47:20Speaker 19: do it, we'll do it again.
- 47:28Speaker 2: They'll love you, they'll leave you, they'll mind you.
- 47:30Speaker 4: They're not when they do they do when they.
- 47:35Speaker 10: Do, they can't tell me love it.
- 47:47Speaker 4: And that is married Man, filmed right here in Las Vegas.
- 47:51Speaker 4: Then Kamala Harris came to Las Vegas and she said, America,
- 47:55Speaker 4: we're not going back. And you know what, I said,
- 47:58Speaker 4: that's a song. And I wrote it and I sent
- 48:01Speaker 4: the lyrics into AI and it gave me a tune
- 48:04Speaker 4: and Leo Frapier turned that tune into a song, and
- 48:07Speaker 4: then thea Austen sang it, and when they sent me
- 48:10Speaker 4: the vocals, I cried. I released it and then it
- 48:14Speaker 4: sat around and then it got remixed by very famous
- 48:17Speaker 4: remixers and as we speak it is number five in
- 48:20Speaker 4: the UK on the Music Music Week chart. My highest
- 48:24Speaker 4: charting single to date thea Austin We're not going back, but.

- 51:20Speaker 4: it one d out of the year that I'm being
- 51:22Speaker 4: self And so there we go. When we come back,
- 51:25Speaker 4: I only have one question. Do you want to do?
- 51:28Speaker 3: You swat stay? No show side?
- 52:00Speaker 4: So after we're not going back, I took a minute.
- 52:02Speaker 4: I concentrated on the show, and then I decided it
- 52:05Speaker 4: was time to do another Sylvester cover, one that I've
- 52:08Speaker 4: been wanting to do my entire life, and I couldn't
- 52:11Speaker 4: do it without Genie Tracy. The song was inspired by
- 52:14Speaker 4: Genie Tracy while back when Patrick Cally wrote it was
- 52:18Speaker 4: because Sylvester had said he heard her say something about
- 52:23Speaker 4: funk in a recording session she was having, and so
- 52:26Speaker 4: I said, Genie, you're the inspiration. You got to sing
- 52:28Speaker 4: it with me, and she said I'd love to, and
- 52:31Speaker 4: Leo Frapier did a mix, and suddenly I was singing
- 52:35Speaker 4: a song that I had sung on the dance floors
- 52:37Speaker 4: in the eighties with so many friends that had gone
- 52:40Speaker 4: on and just like I dance. Because my latest single,
- 52:44Speaker 4: which does not have a video yet, so you're not
- 52:46Speaker 4: going to hear it today, Do you want to Funk? Happened.
- 52:50Speaker 4: I recorded my vocals here in Vegas. They recorded the
- 52:53Speaker 4: backgrounds up in San Francisco with Leo Frapier and Genie Tracy.
- 52:57Speaker 4: We then mixed it. Matt Consola released did on Swishcraft
- 53:01Speaker 4: Records out of Portland, Oregon. I met Matt thirty years ago.
- 53:04Speaker 4: I interviewed him or no, he interviewed me for Dance
- 53:07Speaker 4: Music Authority when Don't Stop came out, That's when we
- 53:10Speaker 4: met uh and he ended up thirty years later releasing
- 53:14Speaker 4: this single do you Want to Funk? By Me, a
- 53:18Speaker 4: cover of the Sylvester song. Now, remember the word is
- 53:22Speaker 4: f U n K funk? Honey? Do you want to funk?
- 54:00Speaker 9: You're so turn.
- 54:07Speaker 3: What did you want to fuck.
- 54:16Speaker 2: Whoa you tap?
- 54:20Speaker 3: You wanna fucking let the show.

- 56:29Speaker 16: For me?
- 56:32Speaker 4: For I shot that video here in this room. I
- 57:01Speaker 4: edited it right out there at that desk. I was
- 57:03Speaker 4: the only person, the camera person, I was the sound person,
- 57:06Speaker 4: I was everything. But I got it done. I hope
- 57:09Speaker 4: you've enjoyed this little musical trip with me on this

- 57:26Speaker 4: is it replenishes our soul. And I have been so
- 57:32Speaker 4: lucky now that I've watched I've never sat down and
- 57:34Speaker 4: watched all of these and reflected, ever, never done it.
- 57:39Speaker 4: And now that I have, you know, I wasn't so bad.
- 57:45Speaker 4: I'm not so bad. I actually a little proud of
- 57:49Speaker 4: myself after watching all of this and watching the evolution.
- 57:54Speaker 4: And so if you have a dream, if you have
- 57:57Speaker 4: something that you love to do.

- 58:02Speaker 4: bad enough, you know for married men. I had a
- 58:05Speaker 4: record pool person come back and say it's a great song.
- 58:07Speaker 4: You should have a woman singing. Thanks, guess you won't
- 58:11Speaker 4: be playing it. There's a lot of negative comments that
- 58:15Speaker 4: came in about all that music, but a lot of
- 58:17Speaker 4: positive ones too. I hope you were able to see this.
- 58:21Speaker 4: I hope YouTube didn't ban my video because of all
- 58:23Speaker 4: these other videos. It's done that before, but I own
- 58:26Speaker 4: them all. I mean, it's all me, but you know
