Jon Bowzer Bauman describes himself as being “Renaissancey” which begins to cover it. His talents range from musical prodigy to social justice advocacy with, of course, some Sha Na Naing along the way. Jon shares how his “Truth in Music” campaign won back performing rights for original members of The Drifters, The Coasters and The Platters and how his Social Security Works PAC is fighting for the rights of Seniors. Plus Fritz and Weezy are recommending The Summer of Soul, The One and Only Dick Gregory, Mr. Jones and Our Woman in Moscow.

Today I interview vocalist Kenny Williams. Since the age of 5 when he began singing into a hair brush, the sound coming out of Kenny’s mouth has made people stop and listen, whether he was on a Broadway stage, performing on a cruise ship, or as lead singer with the Platters.
