uh something that they didn't mention here and I want to to tell, is not only is Mr.Thomas Morgan Robertson aka Dolby a Professor and a awesome 'tubular' musician, writer, smart and very funny chap, he is also married to the most incredibly beautiful woman on the face of this plant.. yeah I said that, I've been envious of only one person in my whole life and that would be Thomas. He's married to Kathleen Beller who is a movie actress who was in 'the Blue and the Gray', 'the Sword and the Sorcerer', and 'the Betsy' to name a few. She has always been my favorite and I know when I looked her up years ago on Wikipedia I was quite surprised that she was married to him. Kudos to You, Thomas. You have my respect, Sir. Hi Kathleen.. I love 'she blinded me with Science' have since it first came out back in the early 80's. I'm a 80's teenager and grew up listening to all those wonderful bands from then. I seen most of them .. and met most of them also. I'm old and worn out now but in my day I was the 'King of Nothing'. Thanks for the interview.

I do play a lot. I hope I'm not being rude , But the song waiting for a star could be re-issued and mixed to todays sound. Not changed or ruined . but it has a lot of legs even today

I watched another KZfaq video with them and Dick Clark. I had no idea that they knew Thom Bell, which of course means that they likely also knew Linda Creed. As much as ”Waiting For a Star to Fall” is emotionally so profound, so are many of the songs that Thom Bell and Linda Creed created. Linda Creed’s lyrics penetrate your heart and never leave.

Enjoyable interview with Alan. A pity he didn't mention the documentary he continues to work on about the group. Five Yers of Vocal Harmony I belueve it is going to be titled. A retrospective 5 album set was herald for release but I have no idea if that now is going to come to fruition. Fingers crossed. I can understand in this very different world how challenging it would be to sell an album set especially for a group who I suppose most fans are of a similar age due to growing up with MT. A group who still like physical media including cds. MT certainly have influenced many younger generations to pursue vocal harmony and that is wonderful to know and for the group to be proud of. An impressive legacy. N.B. Janis has released a new album and has recently played at the Blue Note. It amazes me how she never slows down and is always creating. Amazing. I have had the good fortune to have met and chat briefly with Tim, Cheryl, Yarron and member sof the band. That was many years ago now. A incredibly kind group of people who are so modest especially considering their amazing skills and talents.

Lovely interview. Have you not heard the two Thompson Twins albums after 1987? Big Trash from 1989 which is my all time favourite album. Then Queer in 1991. Then after that, Tom & Alannah did two albums under the name Babble. All are great albums :) x😢

Thanks for sharing the interview. I’ve “followed” Howard for over 40 years, been to multiple concerts (and continue to do so). You really got to some of the great details about his songs. I especially loved the part about Donald Fagan and Howard’s cover of IGY - that really is one of my favourites.
