Coffee Break With Mary B's 5th Son
R.I.P Rick Derringer, Loretta Swit, and Cynthia Weil
In this episode, we spotlight three unforgettable figures who shaped the sound, soul, and screen of American culture:
🎸 Rick Derringer – From the rebellious energy of "Rock and Roll, Hoochie Koo" to his work with the McCoys and Edgar Winter, Derringer’s guitar riffs fueled a generation’s soundtrack.
🎠Loretta Swit – Best known as the sharp-tongued, warm-hearted Major Margaret “Hot Lips” Houlihan on MASH*, Loretta Swit broke stereotypes on-screen and became a symbol of resilience and complexity in TV's golden era.
✍️ Cynthia Weil – One half of the legendary songwriting duo with Barry Mann, Weil gave the world lyrical powerhouses like "You've Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’" and "On Broadway."
Together, these three artists tell a story of artistry across genres—rock, television, and songwriting—all united by their innovation and lasting impact.
