LOVE SOMEONE with Delilah

After starting out with humble beginnings singing in their father’s church in West Oakland, CA, The Pointer Sisters went on to achieve worldwide success and a place in pop music history. The eldest sister, and only remaining member of the original group, Ruth Pointer, continues to perform the music of The Pointer Sisters all over the globe with her daughter, Issa Pointer, and granddaughter, Sadako Pointer. What an absolute thrill it was to speak to this talented trailblazer. We laughed so much, especially when she caught me out on an on-air oopsie I made yeeeaaarrrs ago, and Ruth was listening!  The Pointer Sisters will be joining The Commodores and The Spinners for a limited engagement tour this summer through the fall sharing an "unforgettable evening of classics hits." What an opportunity! ~ DelilahSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Daryl Hall and I have something in common... We "Can't Say No To You"! That's the title of his new single, written and recorded with his good friend, Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics. The single, out now, precedes his new album, "D" releasing June 21. I've been playing Daryl's music for almost as long as he's been creating it, (he has a few years on me) and we had a lot of reminiscing to do! It was so good to get caught up with this musical legend. Drop in for a listen--Oh c'mon, you can't say no to me either! ~ DelilahSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Leanne Morgan may be just getting started... but I think this conversation that we had back in September, deserves an encore! Since we chatted, Leanne has become an even hotter commodity! She's wrapped up a movie with Reese Witherspoon and Will Farrell, called, "You're Cordially Invited", has landed a sitcom with legendary writer-producer Chuck Lorre, and she's written a book entitled, "What In The World", that will be my monthly book club pick very shortly. It seems Leanne is everywhere these days, and I just wanted to throw back to a few months ago when she was right here with us. Enjoy! ~ DelilahSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This charming half of the musical duo, for KING & COUNTRY is sharing some inside info on the movie, UNSUNG HERO, out now, about his musical family and their decision to move from Australia to the US on little more than a wing and a prayer. Life was challenging for the Smallbone's and their 7 children, but a mother's love and strong faith carried them through the storms, helping them to find the joy, and the immense talent, within. Luke co-produces and brother, Joel, who makes up the other half of for KING + COUNTRY, portrays their father in the film. All family members have cameos including another famous sister, Rebecca St. James! Get comfy and join us for a lovely chat.

Sir Nicholas 'Nicky' Winton was a young London stockbroker who visited Prague in December of 1938 where he discovers a large population of refugees fleeing the Nazis - and he knew he must do something, at least for the children. Back in London, Nick spent months arranging for foster families, passports, and documentation that would usher hundreds of children to safety... 669 children! 50 years later his story came to light in a remarkable way. Nick Winton lived his 106 years humbly, with the idea that service to others isn't a calling, it's simply what one does.Today, his son, Nick Winton, Jr., a soft-spoken, compassionate, storyteller joins us to talk about his dad and the film "One Life", starring Sir Anthony Hopkins, that is in theaters now. You'll be so moved! ~ Delilah See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
