Two-Minute Drill With Jim Monaghan and Chris Swendeman

Special Guest - Former Columbia Records Exec Paul Rappaport

Jim Monaghan Season 2 Episode 28

Paul Rappaport spent more than 30 years as a promotions executive for Columbia Records.

In that capacity, he worked with an amazing lineup of artists - Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel, Bob Dylan, Pink Floyd, Judas Priest, Men At Work, the Bangles...and that's just a fraction of the total!

Over the years, Paul has compiled some AMAZING stories and he has just published his first book "Gliders Over Hollywood - Airships, Airplay, and the Art of Rock Promotion."

As music director and air personality at New York City's legendary WNEW-FM, Jim Monaghan dealt with Paul on a regular basis, so some of the stories in the book really resonate with him.

Odds are that if you have albums on the Columbia label in your collection, Paul helped promote them and this book is a must-read.
