Happy New Year! And welcome to our 6th year of presenting amazing pairings of highly accomplished music industry executives/personalities swapping stories and wisdom from their careers.
As I write this, I have been reading about the legacy of President Jimmy Carter, who passed away last weekend. What a coincidence and what karma as one of the themes of this week's episode involves the history of disco, which was in full bloom during the Carter years. Just wait until you hear the stories from these two guys who were in the middle of it all!
Joey Carvello is a legendary radio promo and A&R executive who became one of the most popular and successful club DJ's in Boston during the disco era. He has just published a memoir entitled "The Boston Hustle - the Hairspray, the Cologne, the Disco & the Betrayal". And as the title infers, the guy who wrote the book is one of the most colorful and interesting characters you will ever meet.
Jellybean Benitez is a musician, songwriter, DJ, remixer, and music producer. He has produced and remixed artists such as Madonna, Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson and the Pointer Sisters. He was later the executive producer of Studio 54 Radio.
Please join us for what will be the best hour of your week. The stories and wisdom these guys will share are the perfect way to launch SPITR 2025!
