Ron Young Of Little Caesar – EP110

Episode Description: Ron Young and Little Caesar were in a "can't
miss" situation in the late 80s. With a major record deal on
Geffen, a mammoth manager, and A&R guy,along with the biggest
producer in rock, all in the bands corner. No way this will
miss..... right? The following interview with lead singer Ron Young
from Little Caesar is nothing short of crazy. It should stand as a
cautionary tale of "There's no such thing as a sure thing in the
record business." Even if your not a fan of Little Caesar or not
that familiar with Ron Young, you will enjoy this candid
conversation about touring with Kiss, making music, and the music
business in general. What’s The Story: Nobody quite knew what to
think of these long haired, tattooed bikers singing such soulful,
yet ballsy, rock music when they arrived on the scene in Los
Angeles in 1987. They stood out amongst the "Hair Bands" that
populated the music scene at the time…..a distinction the band wore
as a badge of honor. Much hype surrounded the band as they were
managed by music legend Jimmy Iovine, guided by legendary A&R
man John Kalodner and produced by Bob Rock. It seemed like a
formula for success, yet the band met an unfortunate set of
circumstances that left many scratching their heads shortly after
the release of their self-titled debut album. The bands lead singer
Ron Young shares all the trials and tribulations of their
interrupted trip to super-stardom. Everyone’s got a Rock N Roll
