Another sleepy Sunday afternoon, a light brunch of quiche and salad, salmon and bagels, wine, fruit and cheese—lots of wine—but it is always the people that make the day.
Ellyn Harris (of Buzz Publicity, and her husband Jay, who has adored and loved her these twenty five years) and Glenn Ellison, a partner of my beloved Dan Hartman (I Can Dream About You, Living In America, Free Ride and more). Ellyn sang back up for Dan, as I did. I was his vocal contractor.
The conversation was funny, sad and more. We all talked at once and in the round. Ellyn's son, Kevin Rudolph, a charting producer and writer, has taken the music business by storm, without the help of his family. Just eight hours a day of practice, since he was a child. He grew up with my son, Jason, so I always want to hear his news.
I still hurt from laughing. And lots to remember. I gave the funeral for Dan at the church next door, and then a hundred people came up to my apartment, I cooked fried chicken for the crowd. Phyllis Hyman asked if I would do the same for her, and a year later she was dead.
Everyone who knew Dan loved him. Glenn has forgiven Dan's family, who turned away from him because of his illness—AIDS. I never have. We spoke of Dan, who played every instrument by the way, and his last writing partner, Charlie Midnight. I have lost touch with him, would love to speak with him again, another great guy.
Everyone I met through Dan was special. I am a lucky lady. Frank Beacham had such a great view of Dan's music, and such a fine historic sense of things. The conversations still roam around in my head today.
