Gary Lewis Legendary Voice, Drummer & Founder of Gary Lewis & The Playboys!
Gary Lewis Talks Band History... Learning Drums from Buddy Rich ... His Famous Dad's Family Inheritance Snub!
Hello once again everyone I’m your host Ray Shasho and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends.
BIO: It was the summer of 1964 when Gary Lewis and The Playboys® were discovered by producer Snuff Garret. Before long, with the producer/arranger team of Garrett and Leon Russell behind them, they took their first single, This Diamond Ring straight to number one. After their second hit titled Count Me In went to number two, Gary and the band proved that they would be a continued success. They followed with more Top 10 songs such as Save Your Heart For Me, Everybody Loves A Clown, She's Just My Style, Sure Gonna Miss Her, and many more.
In 1965 Gary himself was Cash Box magazine's "Male Vocalist of the Year", winning the honor over other nominees Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra
With the reoccurring interest in oldies music, Gary Lewis & The Playboys® are one of the hottest acts around. Gary Lewis, along with the Playboys, continues to tour and entertain fans across the country and abroad.
Please welcome singer, musician, founder, and leader of TOP40 music legends Gary Lewis & the Playboys… GARY LEWIS to Interviewing the Legends …
