As the Temptations said "Get Ready" !!!  I'm getting ready to tour the world... I have and outstanding international agency and I'm mentally primed for the challenge... Stay tuned for details, I just might be in your country soon...
 
And wow !!! Last night at the Stirling Club was outstanding... Folks there is nothing like pros getting together and just jamming... The beautiful Kelly Clinton was again the consummate showman integrating doses of humor with accomplished beautiful vocals... Not an easy task but one she has mastered...
 
My buddy Jerome had good news too... Remember he previously sang with the Drifters but will now be applying his talents on the strip with the Platters...
 
I contributed with "MY Girl" but the show stopper last night was the great Clint Holmes who brought such creativity to the new standards such as "Respect" and "Since I fell for You" !!!  Talk about integration !!! This gentleman does it like no other... His many years of headlining on the strip is manifesting itself in a style solely his own... He extends, caresses, massages and intermittently scats his way through a song that simply leaves an audience astounded at his craftsmanship and creativity... As a fellow artist, I take my hat off to you Clint !!!  You are truly great...
 
Life as you are all aware, always seem to hurl curve balls at you... It is how you handle the junk that ultimately defines you... My impending reintroduction to the world arose as a surprise and comes at a time I am marketing my condo in Vegas to move back to Southern California... Hummmm, complicated...  Haaa !!!  But you know what folks ?  When you are about to reembark upon something you love the curve balls appear like big basketballs coming at you... You can see and hit them with ease...
 
Well enough of my musings... Haaa !!! Thanks to great artists like Kelly, Clint, Ronnie Rose, Alissa and all the other great great stars I have been able to study in Vegas, I will soon depart with a wealth of additional seasoning that I hope to apply to your listening and viewing enjoyment...
 
I'm coming to you soon... Stay tuned...

Hi folks...
 
I've been absent a while but as California's Governor might say "I'm Backkkkk" !!! Haa !!! I had fun tonight at the Stirling Club as the very beautiful Kelly Clinton Holmes, wife of long time headliner at Harrahs, Clint Holmes puts a mic in your face while you are at the bar imbibing, what do you do ???
 
Well folks if you know me the show is on !!! We did real good with impromtu harmonizations of Lionel Richie's "All Night Long" !!! Kelly is a great singer as she proved tonight with her very special rendition of Billie Holiday's "Good Morning Heartache"... She also is an informative Entertainer educating the audience on the true substance of that song... If you are like me and I dare say the majority of lovers of that song, you would assume Billie's heartache and monday morning blues was due to a man... Well according Kelly it was really a cry for help relating to Billie's long time drug addiction...
 
 Wow !!!  I've performed that song many times never realizing the images I generally paint in my mind to aid in the feeling of the song were so incorrect... Thanks Kelly...
 
And thanks too to Mickey Brown... An extraordinary singer who captured us all with her performance of Anita Baker's "Rapture"... She really has great bottom that seemlessly launches into her higher register that is symptomatic of a truly accomplished singer...  The real singers know what I am talking about... Ummm, notwithstanding the one octave or less range bound contemporary products of today...
 
Well folks I have started the process of returning home to L.A.... I miss the ocean and Southern California weather... I've seen much of the world and nearly all of the Cote d'Azur and believe it or not excepting European architecture, California is hard to beat...
 
Stay tuned...
 
 

Friday night was exhilirating at the Stirling Club as it began with the Pierre 21 Dinner in the 28 Room...  This is the French inspired dinner including wine pairings for each course... Pierre is the French Banquet Director for the Stirling Club and of Charlie Palmer Mgmt fame... He and his chosen Chefs prepared the most outstanding French Cuisine I've ever tasted and I've spent quite a bit of time in France...
 
The meal is prepared for 21 diners only with Pierre's comments and education preceding each course including wine descriptions...  The service is impeccable...  The experience is second to none...
 
Then it was off to the Piano Lounge where Ronnie Rose and the all-star Stirling Club Band was rocking the house...  Folks we were jamming !!!
And thanks Ronnie for inviting me to perform a couple of numbers... And thanks to the girls from Reno for heating up the dance floor...
 
Friday night was memorable at the very grand Stirling Club...

Singer Carmine Mandia (Shades of Sinatra) and Pianist Ned Mills were great tonight...  These are very gifted Musicians and Entertainers.... It was a pleasure to be invited as a Guest Performer in their show... Thank you both...
 
Songs I performed ?  How about "Unforgettable", "My Girl" and "You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine"...  We had a ball !!!
 
Carmine and Ned, I very much look forward to the next time...
 
Stay tuned...

I hope you all had a wonderful Valentine's Day that was inclusive of beautiful romantic music...
 
I attended the Stirling Club Valentine's Day Diner and Dance... It was classy, understated and romantic...  The musical performance of Ronnie Rose was precisely appropriate for the evening... The food was great and so was my date for the evening...  Thank you Anastacia !!!
 
She and I then retired to the Piano Lounge and enjoyed one of my favorite Singers ever...  Elisa Fiorillo...  I mistakenly posted she had won Star Search, actually she did but it was Star Search Juniors...  She had never heard me sing and I was surprised when she requested I do a few numbers to help her with her ailing voice...  I suggested "Just My Imagination" which she was very happy about although she didn't know any of the lyrics she felt she could do some harmonies... Well I've performed that song hundreds of times, however, if you recall, the last time I performed that song it was with Reggie Brown of "Car Wash" fame and as I've never done a duet with that song I suddenly couldn't recall the lyrics as she was singing her verse...
 
Folks, with that occurence in the back of my mind I began to feel pressure regarding lyric retention...  I do not have to tell you that spells impending disaster !!!  Haaa !!!  And sure enough after the first verse I went blank !!! So what do you do ?  Haaaa !!!  Folks, I have this other skill that allows me to create a song on the spot...  While the music is playing some how some way I am able to create lyrics about any subject at random...  I use to employ those skills at my shows by picking someone or something in the audience, e.g., a red dress or a scarf, or perhaps shoes or how a couple looks together and was able to craft a verse or two specifically for them so that the song became personal to them...  I do not know where this skill come's from but it has saved me on numerous occasions....
 
But in view of that lyric memory loss, it was never more acute than my first performance on the "Love Boat"...  Years ago when I sang at the "Indian Well Resort Hotel" outside of Palm Springs, I was performing on the night Sinatra passed and of course he had a home in Palm Springs and was revered there inclusive of myself...  I decided to sing a tribute song to him for this unusally large crowd that evening...  I chose "My Way"....  The perfect Sinatra song for the circumstances... Well I got near the end of the song (the last verse) and as some of you are aware when I really feel emotional in a song I sometimes close my eyes... That moment was upon me but when I opened them there was not a dry eye in the house !!!  Oh my God !!!!!  I was shocked and already emotional while attempting to convey such by closing my eyes and then it happened ????  Yes folks, I broke down too...  Oh not boo hoo hoo !!!  But tears flowing !!!
 
As a consequence of that evening whenever, going forward, that song was requested I would break down at the very same point in that song so I stopped performing it and when requested I would tell this story as to why I could not honor the request...
 
Well on my first night on the "Love Boat" this very sweet older lady sitting down front requested that song...  After listening to my story she said "young man don't you worry because tonight I'll help you through it "...  Now folks how could I ever deny her ?  I couldn't and I began the song nervously and approached the moment...  And guess what ?  I made it through !!!!  It's now back in my repertoire....
 
But back to Elisa Fiorillo who by the way recently toured with Prince...  It was a pleasure singing with someone I admire greatly... In my mind she has one of the cleanest most emotional voices I have ever heard...  She is simply great !!!
 
After making up a couple of verses for "Just My Imagination" I wanted to do a song I could perform in my sleep and is also an audience favorite "What's Going On".... People loved it...
 
Well that's my Valentine's weekend I truly hope yours was memorable too...
 
Stay tuned...

Last night at the Stirling Club Ronnie Rose gave us another great performance...  I was enjoying his performance immensely while dancing with this very beautiful Italian lady, Anastacia...  Although I was much horser than usual I was apparently singing in her ear, haaa !!!!  Well we had just met and she had no concept of my background when she said I could sing and dared me to sing to the crowd...  She wasn't buying my horseness excuse and continued to advance her challenge...
 
Well folks, old Radcliffe loves a challenge, haaaa !!! I informed Ronnie Rose and he gave me the mic on the next song (thanks Ronnie)...  I went with Marvin Gayes "What's Going On" because of the simplicity of the vocal range and guess what folks, call it the wine or fear or some musical God's unknown, but I was able to deliver and during the song my confidence soared allowing me to take this song to different places...  For those of you who have heard me sing are aware of my big vocal range (nearly three octaves) and I just caressed that song with intermittent power infusions and the crowd was stunned... 
 
Well Ronnie came up after Mike (the Musical Director/Pianist/Keyboardist) vamped the song a bit (strectching it out) and surprised me by having Mike start up "My Girl" of which Ronnie and I performed and amazing duet to it...  Folks the crowd loved it...  Thanks Ronnie you are a supremely gifted and generous performer...
 
Stay tuned...

What a weekend in Las Vegas...  Some time ago I mentioned a very good friend in Reno and she flew in for the weekend which we started off directly from the airport with a fabulous dinner at Piero's Italian Restaurant... Piero's is consistenly voted the best Italian Restaurant in Vegas...  She had the Red Snapper and I had one of Piero's specialties the Osso Buco... Delectable would be my description of both...  And paired with one of the best Italian Wines I've ever tasted, in fact I think it rivaled Camus at a lower price point...
 
We then went to the lounge to enjoy a great singer, Carmine Mandia of the former show "Shades of Sinatra" and a regular at the Stirling Club on Wednesdays...  Carmine asked me to sing a couple of numbers and of course I accomodated with Lou Rawls's "You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine" and "I Left My Heart In San Francisco...  Joyful !!!
 
My friend and I then scurried to the Stirling Club to hear Ronnie Rose, however, our stay was interrupted as the Champagne and Red Wine established a quicker than usual effect on her... Well it ultimately turned out that my friend who is a Doctor wasn't taking very good care of herself of late and she was rapidly coming down with Flu unknown to us at that time...
 
Well it was nothing that a roaring fire, more Champagne, Strawberries and Vegan Creme and my substantial music collection couldn't impede for another day or so... Haaaa !!!
 
As previously mentioned we had no knowledge that Flu was imminent as we danced, almost the night away Saturday at the Stirling Club, when she suddenly wished to depart...  Well we then knew something was wrong because the good Doctor works hard and plays hard... 
 
Today she is employing all of her remedies including a 3 hour drip as she has a substantial patient load but Flu is stubborn...
 
So get well baby !!!  And I'll see you all next time...
 

Those of you who know me are aware I am a very artistic man...  Those qualities also enure to other creative endeavors such as culinary delights... As such I must briefly inform you of one of life's great experiences available to members of the fantastic Stirling Club in Las Vegas...
 
I am a lover of fine dining around the world and I must say the finest dining experience I have ever enjoyed took place last night in the Stirling Club's 28 room which is an intimate dinning room for 28 guests exclusively...
 
The Stirling's Club Banquet Director, Chef Pierre Bouyer and five other Chef's prepared a French inspired menu with wine pairings that defies description...  The French might say "fantastic" !!!  The Hip Hopper's might say "sweet" !!!  But all myself and other diners in ecstacy could muster up was "oh my God" !!!
 
The intimate setting, the comraderie of like minds and the greatest culinary delights I have ever experienced rendered the evening to unforgettable status...
 
Thank you Stirling Club and Pierre for a great lifetime remembrance...

Well tonight we celebrated Elvis's 75th birthday... The talented and very beautiful Kelly Clinton started out with her impersonation of Elvis and then we had an Elvis impersonator who did well and was a great compliment to Kelly's show...
 
Kelly then did a very smart thing and brought on another singer who departed from the Elvis songs and then followed up with me... I do not normally sing on Saturday's at the Stirling Club with kelly but tonight I rocked the house !!! It was great !!!
 
I decided to cover the full three octave range of my voice and had so much fun with "My Girl" and "What's Going On" which was enhanced by the Stirling Club All Star Band directed by Mr. Michael Clark who in my opinion is a flat out musical genius...
 
Folks were dancing and singing along with me and simply displayed total fun... We rocked it folks... You know, tonight reminded me of just how much I love to entertain...  I'm beginning to miss it...
 
Stay tuned...

Hi !!!
 
I hope you all had a wonderful New Year celebration... I attended a formal dinner at the Stirling Club and it was the very best evening I've ever had excepting when I am performing... Early Clover of the Coaster's performed for us and it was a wonderful presentation...
 
New Year's day I performed a duet of "Just My Imagination" at the Stirling Club with Regi Brown... You all know her voice from the big hit "Car Wash" by Rose Royce...
 
It was a truly wonderfully classy weekend !!! I hope 2010 is great for us all...
 
Happy New Year !!!

Hi folks... Well last friday was really fun as I sang at Piero's and then later at the Stirling Club, however, this hoarsness I've been wrestling with suddenly took a turn for the worse... Needless to say this is very disappointing because I love my new album entitled "Love Letters" and it is ready to record in studio as soon as my voice is suitable...
 
This condition they call "Vegas Throat" is no joke to some Entertainers, just ask Cher as she has had to cancel shows in the past attempting to negotiate it... I've lived in Palm Springs and Scottsdale and never had any such problem... Yes, the air is really different in Vegas... Stay tuned...

Hi folks,
 
My show last Tuesday at Turnberry Place was a great success... It was catered by the Stirling Club and was soooo classy... I was able to do the variety of songs which is an identity of my shows... I love singing in that kind of environment...
 
Friday at the Stirling Club I sang a duet with Jerome who is a former member of the Drifters back in New York... We performed Smokey's "Ooh Baby Baby" !!! Our rendition which was vamped to allow us to go to tables and adlive with the ladies was very well received... I enjoyed this type of entertaining (crooning) immensely... I look forward to recreating that mood...
 
The Producers of the show across the street "Voices" at the Hilton were in the house and I am thankful for their generous compliments and their personal invitation to their show...  
 
Stay tuned !!!

Hello Everyone...
 
Well what another fun week in Vegas... Singing with Carmine and Ned on Wednesday at the Stirling Club and then doing a number at Louis Prima's daughter's show at the Stirling Club on Friday... She is quite good...
 
Tonight it was the Brand Lounge in Monte Carlo Casino compliments of Carmine and Ned... This is a very good venue to sing in, I enjoyed it immensely... If you are in Vegas on Sunday's stop by and see the Zowie Bowie show and then come over to the Brand Lounge to see Carmine and Ned... Relax and enjoy beautiful live music...
 
Ciao folks, this week was fun filled so I have to get my beauty rest... Haa !!!
 
Until next time...

It was such a great time singing with Carmine and Ned Wednesday at the Stirling Club, but Friday at the very famous top Italian Restaurant in Las Vegas, Piero's, was the bomb !!!
 
If you saw the movie Casino, part of that movie was shot at Piero's and of course this was a one time hangout for the "Rat Pack" as well as Presidents and too many stars and dignitaries to list here...  And the food is great too !!! Piero's has been repeatedly honored as the top Italian Cuisine Restaurant in Las Vegas...  I'm certain that many of you conventioneers have eaten there as it is located just steps from the Convention Center...
 
One of the things I particularly liked about Piero's was how the men were dressed... Those of you who have seen me perform know that I am an Armani wearing clothes horse !!! Haaa !!! I love to dress well... I was shocked that appx 95% of the men there were in suits or at least in suit jackets.
 
But the greater shocker for me was Carmine had a parade of these gentlemen come to the mic and folks, remember I keep saying how much talent is in Las Vegas, well tonight was amazing... You talk about singer after singer, all accomplished, all dressed, all classy, it was a night to remember... My kind of style...
 
I also learned that Ned was the Musical Director of the "Shades of Sinatra" show which was at the Suncoast and guess who was one of the stars ? Yea, Carmine Mandia !!! And a couple of these gifted singers were also in that show... Hummm, one of these guys sounded so much like Sinatra that he reminded me of my friend Alfredo Caravelli (who naturally sounds just like Sinatra) who joined me for a New Years Eve 1998 show I performed at the "Indian Wells Resort Hotel"
 
Ned, who usually plays the key's with his left hand while blowing his muted trumpet with his right, gave way to another great Pianist and put on one of the best Louie Armstrong impressions (with hankercheif) I've ever seen...
 
Folks, it was a great and fun filled evening...
 
I also learned this week I will be back performing at Tower 4's Turnberry Place's annual Owner's party on Nov 10th... Last year this was such a classy catered event I loved performing for it...
 
On another note, I purchased another Humidifier which seems to be aiding my voice hoarsness a little bit (I think)... I'm encouraged, as I have changed my next CD again and think I did a pre-studio recorded version that is acceptable to me...  It will comprise 16 songs and I've changed the title to LOVE LETTER'S !!!  Great, great love songs bourne from a couple of broken hearts I've had to endure... Yes, even Mr Romantic is not immune to a boken heart !!! Haa !!! I hope I can record it soon in time for the Holidays... Of course that would be pressing, but I am hopeful...
 
Stay tunned........

Well folks, last Wednesday was divine... I sat in for many songs with Carmine Mandia and Ned, his very gifted Pianist/Keyboardist and Trumpeter Extradonaire at the Stirling Club...
 
I did duets with both musicians such as "My Girl" and "You'll Never Find Another Love Mine" with the supremely talented Keyboardist and songs like "Girl From Ipanema" with Carmine...  The Ned stunned me when he played the keys with his left hand and played a muted trumpet with his right hand and he's a very good singer too !!! Folks, it was great great fun...
 
Friday was equal fun doing a couple of duets with Ronnie Rose and the Stirling Club Allstar Band...
 
Sunday I went to see Ronnie Rose at the House of Blues in Mandalay Bay and I've got to tell you, it was one of the greatest most energetic shows I've ever seen...  The super accomplished and very beautiful Elisa Fiorillo sang her heart out... Perhaps you've seen her on Jay Leno backing up Prince ? And she's now off to Paris this week to back up Prince there...
 
What talent exist in this town...  Stay tuned...
 
 

Hi folks...
 
I've been sitting in at the Stirling Club with Ronnie Rose and last week with Carmine Mandia who is a superb interpreter of the American Song Book... We performed a duet of "Unforgettable"...
 
Today I had the pleasure of meeting one of my most influential Singers and absolutely one of the best Singers of all times, Mr. Tony Bennett... We both share the same Tennis Coach (Marty) at the Stirling Club in Las Vegas and today we had a brief chat... He was amazed that I sing so many of his songs such as "Emily", "The Second Time Around", "Stella By Starlight", "The Shadow of Your Smile" and so many others... He inquired as to how long I had been singing this type of music ? I responded that I started my Entertainment career late in life and had been singing these songs for 15 years... He gave me an uplifting jolt as a reminder that he is now 82 and still going strong !!! Hummmm, and out in the hot Las Vegas sun taking Tennis lessons too... What a guy !!!
 
It was a very joyful experience meeting Tony Bennett as he is one of the 3 singers who have infuenced me most... I also met one of the other two, Mr. Smokey Robinson !!! I actually met Smokey at the Paramount Studios in Los Angeles when he was in session way back in the late 70's and then again backstage at Motown's 30th... You all remember that telecast, I'm sure...
 
Unfortunately, I never had the pleasure of meeting my third biggest influence who is a true genius, Mr. Curtis Mayfield...  We actually lived only a few blocks apart when I was growing up in Chicago... By the way, all three were present on my fusion album but I decided to move Tony's song, "I Left My Heart In San Francisco" to my American Song Book album...
 
I got the pleasure, however, of seemingly working with Curtis Mayfield, remember that great group the "Impressions", (If you do not know, he has passed on) by taking his music and writing my own lyrics over one of his songs "Give Me Your Love"...  If I dare say so myself, "Luscious Love" will be awesome when I can finally record it... Oh Smokey's song ?  Ha ha !!! How about "Ooh Baby Baby"....  Ummmmmm, ladies get ready !!! Heee he... It's going to be Luscious Love...
 
Well the preproduction is complete on both albums... One is pure American Song Book, and the other entitled "Luscious Love" is composed of sexy R&B and POP ballads... The only delay before hitting the studio is I have "Vegas Throat" which many Entertainers get here in this very dry climate with all the dust and other stuff in the air... The remedy is hot water with lemon and honey, however, I can't seem to shake it... I had my voice box scoped in Reno and nothing is wrong... So if it isn't some unkown allergy (I also saw an allergy specialist in Reno) it must be "Vegas Throat"... When I was singing 3 month contracts every night without a night off on the "Love Boat" I was never hoarse...  It's very disturbing to not be able to sing the way I know I can and to think these audiences in Las Vegas think I can really blow but they don't know the half of it yet... Just wait !!!
 
My voice is always hoarse and I can't seem to rely on hitting those effortless clean notes those of you who have heard or seen me sing have come to appreciate... I am amazed at this as I basically started my career in Palm Springs which is the same climate and have never experienced anything such as this...
 
If improvement continues to avoid me, I will have to relocate my primary residence to either Reno, San Francisco, or my beloved Nice, France...  I am very anxious after my several years of time out to record these two albums so I can began touring again...
 
By the way, the reason for two albums is I was attempting a fusion of the American Song Book and sexy R&B ballads on one CD and after choosing 14 songs from the 70 that I worked on and listening for a month to the final work, I decided that this music serves two different demographics and from a marketing point of view was not a wise step to comingle...  However, those of you who have seen me perform really do appreciate that fusion but from a pure marketing point of view, I could foresee the unwiseness of it all...
 
Anyway thanks for listening and stay tuned as I have a decision to make with regard to a very big TV show I'm contemplating which could serve as either a big risk or the final propeller that could jettison me to certain fame...  But you know folks, believe it or not, I never embarked upon this journey for money...  It was always for love and passion and I am just not certain I wish to compromise those virtues...

Hi...  Sorry I've not communicated for a while but I've been in preproduction on my new CD...  It is tentatively entitled " INSEPERABLE"...  I think it's great !!!  I eliminated over 60 songs to get down to twelve and I am still toiling in uncertainty regarding the first song...  I have conflicting ideas...
 
In the interim, a few weeks ago Ronnie Rose and I performed a duet at a predominantly small black club with tremendous talent and energy called the SQUARE APPLE on east Sahara in Las Vegas... Folks, if there is any place on earth that has more talent than Las Vegas, I'd like to hear about it as I've been around the world and in my opinion there is more great performing talent in Las Vegas than any place on earth...
 
Tonight there was a new sax man sitting in with the Stirling Club Allstars and the great Ronnie Rose and I have to tell you, I'm not certain I've ever heard any better musician than he...  Simply awesome !!!
 
And I've not heard Ronnie perform Jazz Standards at the level he was on tonight...  Truly off the charts !!!!
 
It was a pleasure to perform tonight two Motown songs (the new standards), MY GIRL and JUST MY IMAGINATION initially solo and then as a vocal trio with Ronnie Rose and the awesome sax man (Tommy) whom I think is a musician in the Aussie tribute show to Smokey Robinson...  We had a very small crowd tonight at the Stirling Club ( these folks have multiple homes and do not necessarily summer in Vegas) but that presented an opportunity to really just be musicians and blow.... 
 
It was a great night to be artistic...  There is nothing like it...
 
Stay tunned...

It's fun to be a Musician !!!  Friday night the beautiful and funny Kelly Clinton was singing with Ronnie Rose and she motion with the mic to come and join them...  I complied and it was wonderful to sing with her and Ronnie but then Clint Holmes came up and the fun really escalated...  He is a supremely talented Entertainer and he began to scat and I joined him...  Folks, this was great great fun to create on the fly... 
 
The Stirling Club audience loved it... If this isn't the very best private club in America I do not know who that could be...  Take a look for yourselves at www.stirlingclublv.com....

Hello again folks...  What a great and fun night at the Stirling Club in Las Vegas...  Champagne was flowing and I had the best Seared Halibut I've ever experienced...  The Super Chef Charlie Palmer led food service is nothing short of excellent...
 
The entertainment was cooking with the great Ronnie Rose and a completely different band last night...  They were great !!! This town, I'll say it again, has soooo many talented musicians it never ceases to amaze me...
 
Ronnie invited me up to sing a duet with him and we had a blast performing "Stand By Me" and then we fused directly into "Under The Boardwalk" while undertaking some lively adlibbing while the band looped...  Ronnie then announced he would leave the stage so I could do a solo which was a Marvin Gaye song I just love to keep singing "What's Going On"...
 
I'll reiterate, what a generous star Ronnie is to share his venue with a scrub like me...  Ha ha !!!  You folks are aware I'm just kidding about my level of talent...  Hee hee...  Aren't you ? (smile)...
 
Afterwards I danced the night away and met three lovely and very beautiful ladies from Reno...  I made friends and shared a wonderfully magical evening with one in particular who happens to be a Doctor of Naturopathy which was a career path I once strongly considered...  Actually I did study very deeply the disciplines of Nutritional Therapies at a Nutrional College and I also attended for a short while a college of Chinese Medicine and Accupunture...  My interest in alternative medicine was peaked by many years of Martial Arts Studies and the desire to achieve a superior level of health...  I'd like to thank her for a very lovely and "Unforgettable" (my mind always revolves around song) evening... Thank you Carol...
 
Stay tuned !!!

Entertained a private event in an intimate room at the Stirling Club in Las Vegas last Saturday night and had a ball... The female company owner and it's employees overwhelmingly preferred dance music even when they sat down for dinner... Well folks this is where my significant near 1,000 song repertoire yielded extreme benefits...

As many of you are aware who have enjoyed my shows for more than one evening, you know that I like a balance of Love Songs, Latin, Brazilian, Jazz, Broadway, and Dance, but it felt great to just rock dance song after dance song and see everyone up and energetically dancing... I think they wanted a little more Hip Hop but ummmm Mr Romantic only does a couple of those songs (ha ha) but a mixture of old school R&B Dance songs coupled with Disco was actually classier and they agreed yielded more fun...

Folks it has taken approximately 15 years to become proficient in this many songs, remember, the average band does about 35 songs, so it's great to experience the rewards of my hard work...

Thanks for following me and I'll see you next time... Happy Holidays !!!

What a special night it was Friday at the Stirling Club... Performed a Marvin Gaye song and enjoyed the stylings of Ronnie Rose and another great female artist (Darcus) in Las Vegas... And in another Stirling Club room just next door, the Stirling Club Band featuring Kelly Clinton (the wife of headliner Clint Holmes) was busy entertaining residents and members for a special event... What a night !!! Stay tuned...

Well folks it was a magical night at the Four Turnberry Place Condo's in Las Vegas as Glenn Radcliffe (Mr Romantic) performed for the many well healed and stylish owners...

The weather was perfect for the pool side catered buffet and grill... The fireplace accentuated the broad song stylings of Mr Romantic and the the beautiful contemporary multi-function room with a full bar, inclusive of Bartenders and Servers, was nothing short of any of the top rooms Glenn Radcliffe has performed in around the world...

If you recall how you were effected by the talent and grace of Glenn, you have a good idea of how he and his music were received... It was a stunning success and fun for all... But mostly for Glenn... He performed 3 1/2 hrs straight without a break (which is his norm) and couldn't help but ignore the choice of enjoying dinner and cocktails himself on breaks... Noooo, if you know Glenn, he simply loves to perform and communicates that feeling to all...

This was Glenn's first full show since departing The Princess Cruise Ship (The Coral) in Alaska a few years ago... Perhaps some of you recall Glenn previously opened a season in Alaska on his more permanent Princess Cruise Ship the Sun Princess (The Love Boat)... Glenn says "he was surprised his voice was better than ever and could sustain a show that long without a break"....

If you get a chance to see Glenn, take it, it will be a night to remember...

Hi... Glenn will be performing Oct 2nd at the fabulous Turnberry Place Condominiums in Las Vegas... And had a wonderfully received performance last Friday night sitting in with Ronnie Rose at the Stirling Club Las Vegas...

Haa !!! Performed Marvin's "What's Going On" with Ronnie Rose and the Stirling Club Band last Saturday night... What a great reception... Audiences really love that song... And so do I !!!

I'm considering putting together my own band which would insure strip performances but I'm hesitant because I really do enjoy solo performing...

Stay tune....

Well folks, I received a bit of disappointing news last night as I have been planning a business venture to ultimately surprise you with....

I was putting together a business model which was a small showroom on the strip approximately 175 to 300 seats with a dance floor below the stage... This would be similiar in nature to the beautiful Atrium Lounge on the "Love Boat" (The Sun Princess) in which so many of you danced to my performances...

What you do not know is that was not a dance venue... I had most of the seating removed before the show and moved to the edges to accomodate dancing... You have told me and I could see how much you enjoyed this...

Well folks this was the business model I intended to bring to the Las Vegas Strip and the Rivera Hotel had the perfect venue in there Le Bistro Theater... The right size, an old Vegas name, and most importantly a dance floor in front of the stage... The dance floor still shows on there website... Unfortunately, I learned last night that the dance floor is no more...

I really think my show would have been wonderful as there is a serious dearth of live music encompassing the "The Great American Songbook" and certainly nothing on the Strip that would also feature dancing too... To my knowledge that would have been the only show on the Strip serving that demographic with song and dance...

I must tell you this was one of the reasons I relocated to Las Vegas... This is rather disappointing... But folks, as old blue eyes would sing "That's Life" !!!

Well another great night in Las Vegas... I went to the very famous Bootlegger Bistro on the South Strip which has formerly been awarded "Best of Las Vegas" in such categories as "Best Place To Spot A Celebrity", "Best Late- Night Dining", Best Karaoke", Best Italian Restaurant In Southern Nevada" and "Favorite Italian Restaurant"....

The Bootlegger Bistro has Entertainment 7 nights a week and I was drawn there to see the great Ronnie Rose in concert... Ronnie told me "this was his first Gig when he moved to Las Vegas nearly 4 years ago"... I observed how warmly the staff received him and as an Entertainer I can tell you such demonstration says volumes about Ronnie Rose...

Upon my entrance I was treated regally by the Manager and Maitre D Mr. Sean Grady and after greeting Ronnie Rose he escorted me to a little roped off reserved table that had a great view of the show... I thoroughly enjoyed my Shrimp Scampi and wine suggested and excellently served by Sean...

Then, of course, seeing Ronnie Rose in Concert was a supreme delight... He was singing with a different band this time and I must tell you the musicianship of the Keyboardist and Drummer was astounding... Of course Ronnie was the complete pro that he is and I heard some different songs from his reportoir that really accentuated his great vocal stylings... In the interim, Sean had escorted me to Ronnie's table up front where I met his beautiful wife and was afforded a close up view of Ronnie's song book... I gazed in shock as his book looked like the yellow pages... Big !!!
Folks I perform over 900 songs and that is generally unheard of in this business as the average band performs about 35 songs... I won't even speculate how many songs must be contained in his book... It was impressive to say the least...

Ronnie Rose is a great Entertainer who is very secure with his talent which allows him to be very generous in inviting other Artists to share his stage... Tonight in the "Blues" section of his show he invited a gentleman up who Ronnie said "was one of the greatest Blues Singers in all of Las Vegas"... Well he wasn't kidding... Folks this guy Mr. Bobby Jones was the real deal... He was great !!! After the show I went over to his table to congratulate him on his performance and I stated to him that "I thought B.B. King didn't have anything on him" when Ronnie Rose stated "he (Bobby Jones) actually has worked with B.B. King"... If you like Blues you would have loved his voice..

Well folks when Ronnie stated "this was the last song of the show" I was surprised by the Manager requesting that I sing a song... Ronnie invited me up and suggested I sing "Stand By Me" a great song I use to perform quite a bit, however, I havn't been performing for a while and I wasn't absolutely confident that I would recall all the lyrics so I suggested an old stand by (no pun intended: ha ha) "My Girl"... It was envigorating to be back on stage and the audience reception was great... I'd like to thank Ronnie Rose and the Manager of the Bootlegger Bistro for a wonderful evening... Please accept my heartfelt thanks...

And folks when you are in Las Vegas stop by the Bootlegger Bistro for great food, service and top entertainment... It's located at 7700 Las Vegas Bl South Strip roughly 5 mins south of Mandalay Bay on your left side... It will be well worth your while to enjoy a locals favorite... And I think they serve a full menu 24 hrs a day...

Until next time...

Hello everyone,

Well I had an exhilirating night Saturday at the "Stirling Club" in Las Vegas...

After enjoying several supremely talented female guest singers who accompanied the very talented Kelly Clinton ( a very exciting Las Vegas entertaimnent fixture and new bride to Las Vegas headliner Clint Holmes) I was surprised by an invitation from the great Ronnie Rose ( ronnieroseband.com) to sit in with him and the band and perform one of my favorite songs My Girl !!!

I must say that I am highly impressed by the level of talent in Las Vegas... It is so fulfilling to be surrounded by so many great artists...

Clint Holmes sang a number with the ladies and although I had seen his headline show a few years ago I was really impressed with the softness and the song styling this great artist rendered during that number which to me was so different from the stylings I enjoyed in his headline show.... I've got to tell ya folks, it was impressive !!! Perhaps some of you will remember him from his hit song "My Name Is Michael" ....

I am very partial to the smooth, sophisticated, and seasoned black entertainers who deliver the Great American Song book and can fuse it with old school R&B and other significant Pop Stylings in a very talented warm and unpretentious manner... This is the essence of the great Ronnie Rose... A sheer pleasure to listen to...

If this wasn't enough talent for one night in one venue, while I was sitting at the bar sipping Champagne and enjoying the largest and best Shrimp Cocktail ( Chef Charlie Palmer creation) just as I got excited about the chorus of a song being performed by Ronnie Rose I began to sing the chorus too... And then to my surprise this voluptuous lady had just stepped to my right for bar service and she began to sing the chorus as well and we extemporaneously began harmonizing (and pretty good in my opinion; haa !!!) as we looked at each other and began to laugh and compliment the other for our talent....

Well folks, that lady, after introductions, turned out to be Sandra Benton, one of the stars performing across the street at the Las Vegas Hilton in the heralded production show "Menopause" !!!

What talent and what a town !!!

Stay tuned...

Hi everyone...

Well I'm getting close to completing my move to Las Vegas and the other night I had the opportunity to sit in with a great trio at the very upscale, fabulous, and very private STIRLING CLUB domiciled at the Turnberry Place Condominiums in Las Vegas...

It felt great to be back in front of an audience again... What song did I sing ? How about (for all you Marvin Gaye song requestors) What's Going On !!!

I can't wait to conclude my move and update my website and Promo Kit with new videos, demos, and acknowledgements so I can get back to performing around the world...

Incidentally, I'd like to belatedly thank the kind words said about me from Princess Cruisers who loved my show that I accidentally discovered on the CRUISE CRITIC WEBSITE (cruisecritic.com)...
Thank you very much...

See ya soon !!!!

Hello everyone... Well the Real Estate Gods were good to me so I've purchased a Las Vegas Strip Condo and am very busy installing Bamboo floors and attending to all the other facets of design...

I am very anxious to get back to doing what I love to do, ENTERTAIN YOU !!!

I will perform in Las Vegas but I will start booking around the world in such places as Singapore, Ireland, Denmark, and Dubai so I can see you in your natural habitat...

I have much work to do before my performances begin as I've been resting these pipes for a while but if you liked and loved me before, I think I'll be even better because I can feel that passion of mine rebuilding like a combustible flame...

I really look forward to seeing you again...

All the best,

Glenn Radcliffe (Mr Romantic)

Hello everyone... After a grueling four years performing around the world, I took some substantial time off.... Hopefully next year I will reemerge in Las Vegas.... In a month or so I will begin recording new CD's.... The main(and continuing) series will be entitled Mr Romantic (Vol 1,2,3, etc)... I will also record the Christmas album I promised you a while ago, as well as a Country Love album performed by a true Crooner (me), ha ha.... I think you will love this album....

My music will be specifically about the music I have learned to love over my life and will be a sexy and romantic fusion of Jazz, Pop, Old School R&B, Show, Brazilian and any song from any genre that I love to sing....

Unless you have heard me live, you probably are not aware of my unique combinations of music from many different eras, genres and styles....

My album "Falling Into You" was made specifically for all of my Cruise Ship audiences and although this work reflects a part of me that I love (and thanks to so many of you that purchased and love it too) it doesn't nearly approximate my many different song stylings.... My Mr Romantic series will be recorded for a much wider demographic and if you are romantic, well, you'll love my tune weaving on these albums....

I have learned from performing live so much, just what you love.... And I promise you, you will love these recordings...

Well I have much to do to relocate to Las Vegas.... I've already expended much energy relocating out of Los Angeles for different reflections and perspectives.... And now I must sell this beautiful waterfront home in an unusual location (for me) which I chose for rest, recuperation, reflection and recharging... Let's hope, in view of the present real estate environment, the God's of expediency and fortune are shining down on me so that I can get to Las Vegas next year and get back to doing what I love to do....

Thanks to the many emails and well wishes from many of you... I know you must have thought I dropped off the end of the earth, but I'll be back soon....
