Leonard and Charles, from a Chicago Tribune wire photo. |
He did interviews with many of the biggest names in entertainment during the three decades (1967 - 1998) of his program.
Roy - not as thoroughly prepared as otherwise - visited with Ray Charles at a gig in Chicago (from which we hear a small part of the concert opening with the Ray Charles Orchestra). In The Ray Charles Special - with all the usual statements from Ray - Roy surfs through some of Charles' hits. Oddly, Ray answers a few questions in the pluralis majestatis. The result was broadcast on 22 July 1975.
I have listened to 1h5m copy. An article in the Chicago Defender (July 22) announced the program as a 2-hour show.
