'Happy the Man' Original Members Chat about New single and Upcoming Album!
AMERICAN PROG LEGENDS ‘HAPPY THE MAN’ RETURN WITH NEW SINGLE “ONLY LOVE” FROM FORTHCOMING NEW ALBUM:
ZOOM EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH STANLEY WHITAKER…RON RIDDLE AND MICHAEL BECK ON INTERVIEWING THE LEGENDS!
Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends I’m your host Ray Shasho.
Before we bring in our guests, I just want to acknowledge that we recently lost a legendary singer/songwriter and musician who was also a good friend to the show, and we will miss her dearly. Known and adored by the music world as Melanie, our sympathies and prayers go out to her family.
Born out of the intensely creative and artistic art rock and fusion movements of the seventies, Happy The Man is one of the most legendary progressive rock bands of all time. Although Happy The Man only released a few albums before breaking up, their impact was strong enough to durably endear the group to a cult following that has been growing ever since. And with the passing of the years, Happy The Man’s music has demonstrated a timeless quality which suggests that it was not only ahead of its time, it was also, in many ways, beyond this world.
Happy The Man has returned with a new album and is ready once again to thrill their devoted fans worldwide. The new album picks up right where they left off, characterized by strong compositions with varying mood and intensity while creatively combining the quirky interplay of rhythms and melodies with lush atmospheric textures.
Their new single, “Only Love,” was released on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, January 15th, 2024. The song is from the band’s highly anticipated forthcoming album of the same name.
Stanley Whitaker, Ron Riddle, Michael Beck, and Rick Kennell have reunited and recorded a phenomenal new song promising to please fans of the band and prog fans worldwide.
PLEASE WELCOME guitarist and lead vocalist Stanley Whitaker …Drummers Ron Riddle and Michael Beck of prog legends HAPPY THE MAN to Interviewing the Legends …
