Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth interview with Gilbert O’Sullivan, Legendary Singer / Songwriter

About Harvey's guest:

Today’s special guest, Gilbert O’Sullivan, is a music superstar.  He was Ireland’s first international pop music star, and he became a global phenomenon in the 70s with his classic hit song, “Alone Again, Naturally”, which stayed at #1 in America for 6 weeks and earned him 3 Grammy Award nominations.  

He’s charted 16 top 40 records, including six No. 1 songs.  Some of my favourites are “Nothing Rhymed”, “Clair”, “Get Down”, “Out of the Question”, “Why Oh Why Oh Why”, “What’s in a Kiss”, “So What”, “Tomorrow, Today”, and one of my all-time favourites, his wonderful duet with Peggy Lee, “Can’t Think Straight”.   For over 5 decades he’s been writing hit songs in his signature style.  

He's recorded 20 studio albums and released 8 compilation albums.  And he’s been performing sold-out concerts not only in his native Ireland, but throughout the UK and around the world.  Record Mirror Magazine voted him the top UK male singer of 1972, and he’s received 3 Ivor Novello Awards, including "Songwriter of the Year" in 1973.  His 2 most recent albums, entitled “Gilbert O’Sullivan” and “Driven”, have been highly acclaimed by music critics, and they hit the top 20 and the top 30 in the UK charts.   Those 2 albums, along with his 3-CD compilation released last year, entitled, “Gilbert O’Sullivan: The Best Of” have ignited a global renaissance in his career, and a whole new generation of fans around the world are falling in love with his music.   

He’s just completed a sold out tour in Japan, AND NOW, he’s returning to the United States over the Thanksgiving weekend for an exclusive 3-city concert tour.  

Our guest will be at The Canyon House in Mesa, Arizona on November 22nd.  On November 24, he’ll be performing at the Swedish American Hall in San Francisco.  And on November 25, he’ll be headlining at the legendary Troubadour in West Hollywood, California.

I met Rory Gardiner on the set at CTV Morning Live and interviewed him about his country music career. It's impressive. He has toured worldwide and recorded songs in Nashville, and even opened up for Keith Urban. His latest albums are geared for kids.

He's also a comedian, performing at comedy clubs all over North America and chillin with canadian comics like Tom Green and Mike MacDonald.

But the turning point for me asking Rory to come on the podcast was his experience as a TedX speaker talking about humor as a coping mechanism. For my listeners here in Ottawa, we remember last years 6 Tornados hitting down in one powerful storm, people here continue to rebuild their lives and their homes. Rory and his family were one of the families hardest hit, running to safety only to see their home destroyed. What followed was a series of funny videos that went viral as Rory used humour to explain and show the devastation. Ive seen the vidoes- they are hilairious. We talk about humour as a coping mechanism, why he isn't alone and how he has learned from the experience what's really important in life.
