    I love Crashing the Party the most. Vocal groups are the nearest & dearest to my heart. MNM play songs I would not play, but when they play them, I realized they have tunes with very good taste.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 157: Crashing The Party #159
Q: My question is, did you get to interview little Julian Herrera?
Propes says he never interviewed Herrera and that nobody had been able to find him. He shares what he had learned about Herrera's origins and explains that Johnny Otis gave the teenage singer the name Little Julian.
Episode 157: Crashing The Party #159
Q: That phrase golden oldies and oldies but goodies, where did it come from? Was it Art LeBeau?
Propes credits Art LeBeau with the concept. He says LeBeau wanted to compile romantic songs on an LP so listeners would not have to get up to change records, and the resulting Oldies But Goodies album became a hit.
