Gary Lewis, of Gary Lewis and the Playboys, had a remarkable string of hits in the 1960s when their first seven songs reached the Top 10, only the second act to do so. Gary talks about taking drum lessons with Buddy Rich, his Army service in Vietnam, and of course his illustrious career. 

My featured song is “I Just Want To Love You” from my new album, Bobby M and the Paisley Parade. Spotify link.
