US World Report - presents ‘Miracle on 70thStreet’
Meet Lou Stallman & his son Jerry Potente, one of the last surviving Tin Pan Alley songwriting teams in NYC. With a catalogue of nearly 500 songs and still growing, Lou has had a prolific career. Most recently, one of his songs is topping the charts again. “Round and Round” written in 1956 with his partner at that time Joe Shapiro for recording artist Perry Como. It’s now a 2018 megahit, thanks to a TARGET Department Stores holiday marketing campaign. Unknown to Lou, the Australian artist Sia recorded and released her version of ‘Round and Round’, this past November on a Christmas CD. Target has used the track in their Thanksgiving and Christmas television ads nation-wide. Now, Jennifer Hudson has sung her version of the song on 'The Voice', just about 10 days ago. NBC and Target collaborated on this effort with a spectacular children’s choral group all dressed in Holiday Red and Gold. ‘This Rags to Riches’ story has been a blessing for Lou and Jerry and it couldn’t come at a better time. “The record business has changed,” said Lou recently. “I’ve written for Diana Ross, Aretha Franklin and many other artists over the years, but nothing like this has ever happened.” Join Tom Osborne and his radio news team for their 2018 Hanukkah and Christmas special ‘Miracle on 70th Street’. Enjoy!
