Someone
once said that Ron Dante was a multi-tasker before long before the
word become popular. Take a look at some of his accomplishments, and you’ll find
that to be true. As a record producer, Ron has worked with such music stars as
Cher, Dionne Warwick, Pat Benatar, Irene Cara, Ray Charles, John Denver and,
most notably, Barry Manilow. As a singer/songwriter he has worked with such
legends as Don Kirschner, Neil Sedaka, Bobby Darin and Tony Orlando, plus
recorded such hit songs as “Tracy” for The Cuff Links and “Sugar, Sugar,” of
course, for The Archies. Baby Boomers know that Ron wrote and recorded some of
the most famous radio and TV jingles of all time (including spots for Coca Cola,
American Airlines, Budweiser, Dr. Pepper and “You Deserve a Break Today” for
McDonalds), while theater buffs know that Ron produced the Broadway productions
of Who’s Life is It Anyway, Crimes of the Heart, Children of a Lesser God
(which won Ron a Tony for best drama), and Ain’t Misbehavin’, for which
Ron received a Tony for best musical. Ron Dante
will join us in our second hour.
Ron
Dante will be performing at the Woodfield Country Club in Baca Raton, FL on
Saturday, Nov. 17; at the Snoqualmie Casino at Snoqualmie, WA on Sunday, Dec. 2;
at the Sunrise Theater in Fort Pierce, FL on Friday, Feb. 1; and at the upcoming
Davy Jones Memorial Monkees Convention at the Sheraton Hotel and Conference
Center in East Rutherford, NJ the weekend of Mar. 1-3, 2013. For more
information on these and other upcoming events, visit Ron’s website, www.rondante.com.
This week’s show will also feature Part 4 of the Sounds of Lost Television’s tribute to Jack Paar; a brand new edition of This Week in TV History; and a continuation of our look at the new fall TV season. It’ll be a full program as always, and we certainly hope you’ll join us.

This Week in Television History: October 2012 PART IV
Listen to me on TV CONFIDENTIAL:
October 22, 1942
Annette Funicello is born in Utica, New York.
Funicello became a featured Mouseketeer on Disney's Mickey Mouse Club and later starred in several Disney features, including The Shaggy Dog (1959). Her popularity continued into her teenage years. She starred in a series of beach movies with singer Frankie Avalon, including Beach Party in 1963 and Muscle Beach Party in 1964. Decades later, the pair reunited in Back to the Beach (1987).
