July 5, 2023 – Today’s episode of The Omnibus Show will feature Wayne Powers, Actor/Comedian, Jazz Vocalist, Radio Personality, Voice Over Artist, Film Historian.
Wayne Powers started out as a nightclub singer in New York at age 16. He performed across the country, finally landing in Hollywood where he worked for Henry Mancini. Wayne launched his decades-long network television career after being discovered in a live improv comedy show with a then-unknown Robin Williams.
Williams went on to Mork & Mindy and movies, while Powers went on to Laverne & Shirley, Elvis and Me, One Day at a Time, Murder She Wrote, Simon & Simon, Full House, Alf, Doogie Howser, and many others, including starring for two seasons in his own popular NBC sitcom, 13 East.
Equally at home on television, radio, theatre, club or concert stage, music is his first love. Wayne has played top jazz rooms and jazz festivals, consistently drawing large, enthusiastic, star-studded crowds over the past fifty years.
Powers is also an accomplished recording artist. His latest album If Love Were All has been nationally and internationally broadcast on radio and on Sirius XM’s SiriuslySinatra satellite radio channel.

WIth the passing of Cindy Williams a bunch of you have been asking about the time we played Has Been Corner with Cindy Williams when we were on WNEW here in nyc. This is from around 2001. The bit was so brutal and uncomfortable that we never did it again. I must say I barely recognize myself in this clip. So strange to hear my voice from a time that is long gone. Special thanks to the great Lewis Black for being extra hilarious that day. In the end, she had a great sense of humor about what went down on this particular show and ended up signing shirts for us that said Cindy Williams Has Been. RIP

Shirley Feeney was not just Laverne’s best friend. Cindy Williams made us feel like she was our bestie too. Cindy’s career has taken her from American Graffiti to The Conversation to Broadway and beyond. She’s worked with Francis Ford Coppola, George Lucas, Garry Marshall, Penny Marshall, Ron Howard, Harrison Ford, Henry Winkler, Gene Hackman, Dame Maggie Smith, Gene Kelly, and she’s written a book all about it called Shirley, I Jest. Plus, Cindy is taking her one woman show, Me, Myself and Shirley on the road! Settle in because she found some time to share many stories and laughs with us. Plus Fritz and Weezy are recommending The Power of the Dog on Netflix, 800 Words on Acorn and 15 Minutes of Shame on HBO Max.

It's hard to pinpoint what songwriter and composer Charlie Fox is best known for: his TV theme songs have been household presences for decades ("Happy Days," "Laverne and Shirley," "The Love Boat"), "Killing Me Softly" is a legendary, iconic hit for Roberta Flack, and his orchestral music has been performed all over the world. For Wise, he has composed an incredible number of pieces that will be an everlasting part of the Wise musical legacy. In this wide-ranging discussion, he and Rabbi Yoshi discuss the art of composing, the deep connection Charlie feels with his Jewish heritage, and the people in his life who have left a lasting impact on him, musically and otherwise.
This week, Wayne brings us Equinox, the fifth studio album by Styx. This would be their first album for A&M Records and their last album with guitarist John Curulewski. He would be replaced by guitarist and singer Tommy Shaw on their next release, “The Grand Illusion,” at which point Styx would take the form which most of us remember as one of the groups that make up the soundtrack of our childhood. Equinox would only go to #58 on the album charts, but would see a resurgence with the release of The Grand Illusion in 1977.
Midnight Ride
James "JY" Young takes the vocal duties on this track, also written by Young. It is a fast, rocking song about a one-night stand with a groupie.
Lorelai
This track is the biggest hit from the album and features the vocals of both James Young and the distinctive sound of Dennis DeYoung. The name of the album was from a brainstorming session, and “Equinox” was the only name that everyone didn't hate. Lorelai was the name of a water fairy.
Prelude 12
This song is performed and written by John Curulewski. This instrumental on a 12-string guitar is the prelude to Suite Madame Blue, and is often missed when that song is played on the radio or Spotify.
Suite Madame Blue
This well-known epic was written for the US Bicentennial. Wistful yet positive despite its minor key, the song calls for reflection and responsibility. The song was done in one day.
ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:
Theme from "Laverne and Shirley"
This television series spin-off from "Happy Days" would debut in January on ABC.
STAFF PICKS:
“Dream On” by Aerosmith
There is no mistaking the opening riff from this epic pick by Brian. It was originally released in 1973, but had its album re-release in December 1975 and was marching up the charts in January. Steven Tyler was not originally comfortable singing in the higher octaves, but fortunately overcame that fear.
“Island Girl” by Elton Jon
Rob's staff pick was #1 for three weeks, and was the first single from the album "Rock of the Westies." Kiki Dee is on background vocals on this Caribbean-influenced hit.
“50 Ways to Leave Your Lover” by Paul Simon
Bruce's staff pick is the second single off Simon's album "Still Crazy After All These Years." This is Simon's sole #1 hit as a solo artist.
“Tower” by Angel
Wayne cranks things back up with his staff pick from a group discovered by Gene Simmons of Kiss. Angel had a prog rock vibe and dressed in all white during their performances. "Tower" is a medieval themed track.
LAUGH TRACK:
“Convoy” CW McCall
We finish off this episode with this ode to the CB radio. Citizens Band was pretty much the social media app of the 70's.
