At just 13 years old, he had to support himself singing for coins on the streets of the Lower East Side, but with the success of Alexander’s Rag Time Band at 21, his career took off. Tragically his first wife died shortly after their marriage and his second wife’s millionaire father disowned her for marrying him inspiring some of his most beautiful love songs.
From Always to What'll I Do, Berlin had number 1 hits in each decade of his amazing sixty-year career. He wrote over 1500 songs, including 20 scores for Broadway and 15 Hollywood films, with 8 songs nominated for an Oscar - winning Best Song for White Christmas! Although he wrote God Bless America for his WWI army benefit show, he thought "it was a bit sticky" and put it in his trunk for 20 years until Kate Smith asked for a song as WWII loomed. He generously signed over the royalties from God Bless America to the Boy & Girl Scouts of America, making them over $10 million with money still coming in!
I'm thrilled to have the amazing John Di Martino on piano and the fabulous singer Deanna Kirk share this adventure with me.
Join us for this “wildly entertaining” show with the divine singer Deanna Kirk and John Di Martino on piano. Find out more.

My interview with author Kim Bendheim
The legendary Maud Gonne left her mark on everyone she met. She famously won the devotion of one of the greatest poets of the age, William Butler Yeats. But she was so much more. An actress, a journalist, an activist and early media influencer for the cause of Irish independence.
