Simon Napier-Bell, Vicki Wickham, and "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me"

TVC 637.2: Legendary record producer, music manager, author, journalist, and documentary filmmaker Simon Napier-Bell joins Ed and guest co-host Chuck Harter for Part 2 of a conversation that began last week about the music scene in London during the Swinging Sixties. Simon's books on the music industry include Black Vinyl, White Powder, Sour Mouth, Sweet Bottom, I'm Coming to Take You to Lunch, and You Don't Have to Say You Love Me, a rollicking look at Simon's early career in the music industry that also bears the title of the international hit record that Simon and Vicki Wyckham wrote together in 1966 for Dusty Springfield. Topics this segment include how Simon became a music manager almost by accident; how he and Wickham came to adapt "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me" from an Italian love song; and how Elvis Presley reinvented "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me" when he performed it in 1970.
