Carole Bayer Sager

A (relatively) in-depth analysis of American lyricist, singer, songwriter and painter Carole Bayer Sager in just under thirty minutes.

Bayer Sager's first recording as a singer in her own right was the 1977 album Carole Bayer Sager. It included the hit single 'You're Moving Out Today', a song which she co-wrote with Bette Midler and Bruce Roberts. The single reached number 6 in the UK Singles Chart. She was born in New York City and graduated from New York University, where she majored in English, dramatic arts, and speech. She had already written her first pop hit, 'A Groovy Kind of Love', while still a student at New York City's High School of Music and Art. It was recorded by The Mindbenders, whose version was a worldwide hit. The song was later recorded by Sonny & Cher, Petula Clark, and Phil Collins, whose rendition for the film Buster reached number one on both the UK Singles Chart in 1988.

In October 2016, Bayer Sager published her memoir, They're Playing Our Song: A Memoir. She also narrated the audiobook version.

In this episode I am in conversation with Dr. Andrew Webber.
