Roger Nichols is a special guest on The Paul Leslie Hour.
On this episode we are in the presence of one of the world’s great songwriters. Composer, musician & recording artist Roger Nichols gives a rare interview. He is one of the people I have most wanted to interview on The Paul Leslie Hour. Why? He has composed some of the most captivating music ever.
Here are some of the great songs co-written by Roger Nichols: “We’ve Only Just Begun,” “I Won’t Last a Day Without You,” and “Rainy Days and Mondays” all recorded by the Carpenters. “Out in the Country” was recorded by Three Dog Night and R.E.M. All of these songs he co-wrote with Paul Williams. He also wrote “Times of Your Life,” with Bill Lane, which was a hit for Paul Anka.
Nichols also records with his own group: Roger Nichols and the Small Circle of Friends.” He’s talented in so many ways. As a musician he’s a mulit-instrumentalist who can play guitar, bass, piano, and violin.
It’s a great pleasure to welcome an artist who composed songs sung by some of the greats of all time. Everyone from Barbra Streisand, Frank Sinatra Jr., Art Garfunkel and Barry Manilow, just to name a few. He’s right here on The Paul Leslie Hour. What a thrill!
