My 80sography: Martin Page (musician/songwriter) (Pt 1, 1980-84) (Barbra Streisand, Earth Wind & Fire, Q-Feel, Ray Parker Jr)

The wonderful renaissance man, Martin Page, returns for the full My 80sography experience.

Because I had extracted two parts of our interview from last year for Anatomy of a Song episodes this was pushed back to make way for other interviews but now has its time to shine.

Martin was extremely good value in the single longest interview I have done yet (4 hrs plus) and was especially fascinating in describing the plight of an aspiring songwriter/musician for hire in the early-mid 80s (which this episode covers). Also why his immense success is 98% due to Ron Davies.
