20th Anniversary Show! Your multi award-winning producer and host Ray White has interviewed nearly 500 world-class musicians over the past two decades. We’re celebrating by sharing interview segments and much more from three of our most listened to shows. We kick things off with a bassist who played in three highly successful bands… Heart, Firefall and Spirit – Mark Andes (Episode 15). We’ll then roll right into one of the greatest rock vocalists from the U.K. – Paul Carrack (Episode 83). You’ll remember him from the big hit “How Long” by Ace and he was in the band Mike + the Mechanics and Squeeze. Paul released numerous solo albums, too. We close out our special 20th Anniversary show featuring the late Paul Cotton (Episode 110) of the pioneering country rock band Poco. We personally would like to thank all the incredible musicians we’ve interviewed throughout the years and to you – our listeners!! We’re Classic Artists Today…spread the word!!!
Ray's passion for music and the musicians, started as a youth listening to transistor radios under the covers at bedtime. The bands and performers he liked, he followed throughout their career. In 2005 he was fed up with the evolution of a majority of the music the radio stations were playing and began investigating the bands he grew up listening to in the 1960's, 70's and 80's. Radio wasn't playing any of those band's "new" songs, just the "classic" hits. Researching the industry for a year, Ray launched Classic Artists Today syndicated radio show - featuring "new" songs by "classic" artists and included interviews and classic tracks too. The show was carried by several dozen radio stations in the U.S., Canada, Europe and the Caribbean. Featuring Rock/Pop musicians and bands, Ray and the show won several awards from New Music Weekly magazine. With the success of these shows, he launched Coool CAT syndicated radio show, 5 years later, featuring Soul/R&B/Smooth Jazz/Blues performers and bands. In 2017, Ray starting producing his show in a 30-minute podcast format. Today, you can hear his work at Sittin' In With The CAT and Sittin' In With The Coool CAT. The legacy continues!
