BRIAN HYLAND discusses SEALED WITH A KISS, ITSY BITSY TEENIE WEENIE YELLOW POLKA DOT BIKINI & more!

Описание: 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐇𝐲𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝 is known as the voice of Summer Love, & is a pioneer of Rock N Roll. He sang one of my favorite songs, in fact it’s probably one of almost everyone’s favorite songs & one of the great classics of all time as it is on every karaoke song sheet…𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐊𝐢𝐬𝐬, which has probably been sung billions of times in karaoke.

His journey through music is nothing short of legendary. At the ripe young age of just 16, he skyrocketed to stardom with his infectious hit, “𝐈𝐭𝐬𝐲 𝐁𝐢𝐭𝐬𝐲 𝐓𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐞 𝐖𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐞 𝐘𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐤𝐚 𝐃𝐨𝐭 𝐁𝐢𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐢,” claiming the coveted #1 spot across the nation & earning him a prestigious Gold Record. This was just the beginning of a remarkable musical odyssey. Alongside the dynamic duo of Gary Geld & Peter Udell, he had hits like “𝐋𝐞𝐭 𝐌𝐞 𝐁𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐘𝐨𝐮,” “𝐆𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐲 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐋𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲," the world wide phenom “𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐊𝐢𝐬𝐬” & “𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐝-𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐊𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬” solidifying his status as a household name. He collaborated with luminaries such as 𝐒𝐧𝐮𝐟𝐟 𝐆𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐭, 𝐋𝐞𝐨𝐧 𝐑𝐮𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐥 and 𝐉𝐉 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐞 delivering hits like “𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐉𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐫 𝐖𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐝” and “𝐑𝐮𝐧, 𝐑𝐮𝐧, 𝐋𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐞𝐞" which soared into the top 20 on the charts.

We discuss:
-Growing up in Queens, NY
-How & when did this music bug germinate in Brian
-Brian's meteoric rise and the monumental success of Curtis Mayfield’s “𝐆𝐲𝐩𝐬𝐲 𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧,” a timeless anthem that resonated globally, selling over 3 million copies & produced by the legendary 𝐃𝐞𝐥 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐧 who was known for his megahit Runaway.
-Brian's penchant for reinvention which shone brightly with his rendition of Jackie Wilson’s “𝐋𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐬,” capturing the essence of soulful melodies with unmatched finesse.

-After 60 years since the release of ‘Sealed with a Kiss’, Brian reunited with Peter Udell. Peter penned a Christmas song & invited Brian to record it. The song, titled ‘𝐀 𝐋𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐁𝐢𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐦𝐚𝐬 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞’, was released at the end of Nov. 2023.
