- Exciting new episode with storied entertainer and musician Les Dudek and his history with none other than Cher and their collaboration on her only Rock album and the hit "Midnight Special" TV special as well as his acting career and how Les inspired Cher to pursue her acting career!
I played the first 3 Dudek albums all the time back in the day . . . still listening today. Les is a great player!
Yes!
Really fun to see that Les is still with us! But Rick, it would be nice if you could get a way better mic setup for these. Talk to some bloggers....
I saw Les play in Modesto, CA at a bar (I believe the owner was a friend of Les's) about 1982 or 1983. Maybe he was still with Cher or just after that.
you would think derringer would have production people following him around like puppy dogs trying to get a job, but no , you can't hear the discussion and the Music blows you away it's so loud, Go Figure!
Hello Mark how are you 😊
Two living legends "Still Alive And Well"
Les also did a stint with Steppenwolf in 1988.
Black Rose was an interesting band, sucks that like some actors Cher got type cast as a type of singer, critics attacked her she said "like how dare she sing sing rock" I'm not sure if this clip is the actual outing of the band, but I think so, they were on Merv Griffin and he said the band was hot and you'll see why, there was no promotion that it was Cher's band and she wanted it that way, they come on and start playing and watch her back is to the camera and her hair is cut, then as the 1st verse comes up she spins around and listen to the audience, very clever effect, and now the cat was out of the bag. The album had great writers and players, not just Dudek, Paich, Porcaro, Foster, etc the hit makers of the day. so check out this clip of Black Rose-- ua-cam.com/video/bbtmMV_OAN0/v-deo.html

Hello Gary how are you 😊
City Magic was my favorite song to sing when a very tight band of Citadel cadets (South Carolina) hired me for a prom at Ashley Hall (ultimate girls' school) in Charleston 1977. (That tight band now plays in Greenville-Spartanburg, SC as "True Blues" with Bill Pappas / “The Fillmore Brothers” - push is the Cash Brothers = Joe & Pete)
We played a lot of southern and western rock ... Les Dudek, right? If you ever heard of him? influence...
more influence > Wet Willie - first band in the 70s: white boys playing funk! was our second best song.
Thx, Rick D. >>>>Awesome! (yes, my high school band played your song - found through the Winter Bros.)
I remember being at a Doobie Brothers show in San Diego and Les was opening for them and while he was doing his set Cher walked out on stage , I think it was the time she divorced Sonny and was dating all these different rock stars but when she came out and started to sing with him the crowed booed her so bad he had to rush her off the stage , she was a different generation and totally pop music and she was clearly not wanted there , I never laughed so hard
Great Story Guys !!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Les inspired me to play more and enjoy the guitar
That was cool! Great story! Keep ‘em coming! 👍
More to come!
No body really cares 🤮
Hey Les? Heard from CHER LATELY???
Rick still so cute 🥰
When puppies grow old. That makes old dogs real old.ruff ruff.now we live in a world of whelps..
Rick, I landed in Orlando, got in my rental car maybe 20 years ago or so. Found the local rock station on the FM dial and They mentioned you were playing there that night. I was headed down between Tampa and Fort Myers that night.
I still kick myself for not checking out the show. But glad I found your channel on here anyway. Interesting interview with you and Les. I subscribed now👍
Appreciate you talkin to Les . cool to see you guys talkin music ...
So great to see you both! Two of the artists that my band covered back in '77 - '86. Two great great great players that have a ton to offer to young musicians.
Cool guys! Great to see 2 of my all time fav rock heros together. Audio was low Rick. Give Me More! More! More!
