From the first song her wrote as a kid...to the song he wrote the day we recorded this podcast Jeff Silbar is the true definition of a 'living legend'. He has had hits for Kenny Rogers, Fleetwood Mac, Dolly Parton and literally dozens of others. 

In the first half of this interview we hear how Jeff began in the business, the hard slog of being a songwriter, old Nashville, his first success a worldwide 7m seller for Kenny Rogers, how he came to write Wind Beneath My Wings and some of the laughs and tears along the way.  He gives great story and a nicer guy you couldn't meet.....enjoy.
