Presenter: George Matlock, Executive Producer: Hezikor Kadouri
Welcome to ENCORE! on REJ.World.
FULL EPISODE: As we speed ever closer to the 50th anniversary of Elton John’s landmark double album Blue Moves on the 22 October, we are delighted to announce a very rare interview with singer, pianist and actress, Toni Tennille.
Toni celebrates a 50th anniversary of her own, that of winning a Grammy award for a Neil Sedaka/Howard Greenfield penned song with her then husband Daryl Dragon, Love Will Keep Us Together.
We will hear about her contribution to Elton songs like Don’t Let the Sun Go Down On Me, as well as four Blue Moves songs and later Elton collaborations like Dear God from 21 at 33.
Toni talks about home life and candidly about her marriage to Daryl. And then there is that big admirer of hers, the former US Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger, whom she met (briefly) at the Bicentennial celebrations at the White House in the presence of HM Queen Elizabeth II, Duke of Edinburgh and Prime Minister Jim Callaghan on July 4th, 1976. Her act, Captain and Tennille were invited by President Gerald Ford and First Lady Betty Ford.
Toni is as entertaining speaking as she is performing musically, and be prepared for a thrill-a-minute! Plus Pinner showcase their latest song Blue Moves, 1976.

Presenter: George Matlock, Executive Producer: George Matlock
Welcome to ENCORE! on REJ.World.
FULL EPISODE: Dave Richmond is a very unassuming character, the perfect persona for a successful session musician. Working on hits for Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin, Cilla Black, Olivia Newton-John and Labi Siffre, he began on hit 5-4-3-2-1 by Manfred Mann and later John Barry Seven. An accomplished double bassist and bass guitarist, Dave added his tones to Border Song, The Greatest Discovery as well as the seminal Your Song. Hear how the army set him up on bass, how Keith Mansfield from KPM set his head right about being successful at session music. Also enjoy Pinner's latest offering It Started As His Song.

Neil's In The Mix | There's Still Time For Me
After last month's Better Off Dead, we journey to the song that helps us understand it even better, with the 1968 Elton-Bernie song There's Still Time For Me, which was produced by Caleb Quaye, and which only saw light of day on the Jewel Box collection in 2020.
Mercifully, there was still time for Elton and he went on to become one of the biggest starts in music!
