Podcast Interview With Norman Ellis-Flint! - Part Two
Norman Ellis-Flint has played an important and fascinating role in the evolution and development of modern radio and radio advertising. Norman was one of the pioneers in the development of several major rock stations across the United States and then became a leader and innovator in developing some of the most powerful marketing concepts used by companies that advertised on radio.
Working as a young man in San Francisco during the famous “Summer of Love,” Norman helped develop KMPX-FM: one of the first true rock stations in America. The format Norman developed was quickly picked up by KSJO-FM in San Jose and many other stations across the United States. In less than 18 months, CBS took notice of Norman’s and his partner Lou Waters’ success and influence and brought him to New York City, to help turnaround and revitalize WCBS-FM.
Norman was later lured away from WCBS to work with John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s Kharma Productions in Toronto, Canada. Norman was hired to be their Director of Creative and Media Relations. It was here that Norman gained so much of his in-depth understanding of business, marketing and advertising.
We had a wonderful time with Norman during our interview and afterward. We won't give about the story here in this post, however, we invite you to click on the podcast logo below and check out Part One. You can also check out Norman on the internet too!

Part Two of the Bruce E. Singer Podcast - Show # 16
Bruce E. Singer is a Voting Grammy Member, published song writer ("Don't Touch That Dial," Engelbert Humperdinck / CBS Records) and published author (satire / parody of comedian Al Franken, Random House / Xlibris Press). Mr. Singer combines his well-honed business expertise with his creative gifts to create "win-win" deals and a "good deal more."
There's so much more to the Bruce Singer story and you'll get a kick out of part one on What's Out Next! I first met Bruce Singer at a song writing class that was taught by Al Kasha in 1977. We ended up partnering together to create an ASCAP Music Publishing company called L.A. Music Publishing. We never thought we'd get the name but guess what? Nobody had it so we got it.
During our many adventures together we produced a number of records together including Lady Rhythm with Bruce's brother Donnie Singer. The song was reviewed in Cashbox and Billboard and even ended up with a rating of an B+/84 rating on American Bandstand!
Since 1977 Bruce continues to amaze me with his song writing skills, marketing genius and we continue to support each other with our newest venture (mums the word), Movie Capital, Inc. starting over the next 30 days.
