Laurie Kaye has had a long career in radio, beginning with working at radio station KRFC-AM, San Francisco, going from intern to on-air reporter and anchor, and at the RKO Radio Networks as a newscaster, and writer and co-producer for numerous specials, including a 14-hour radio special “The Beatles From Liverpool To Legend” which aired on all the RKO radio stations, and as a writer for a syndicated Top 40 countdown show hosted by Dick Clark. She was part of the crew that conducted the last interview with John Lennon and Yoko Ono on Dec. 8, 1980 at the Dakota, just hours before he was murdered. Laurie has also interviewed George Harrison, Paul McCartney, George Martin, Mick Jagger, David Bowie. She went on to work in television and film as a writer, producer and casting director, where she still works today. Her forthcoming book “Confessions of a Rock 'n' Roll Name-Dropper: My Life Leading Up to John Lennon's Last Interview” is her memoir telling her life story, filled with many incredible musicians she’s interviewed, and how important the interview with John and Yoko was, as well as the most tragic day of her life. Here Laurie talks about her early beginnings in radio, and her interviews with John and Yoko, George Harrison, Paul McCartney and George Martin. This was a very powerful and emotional interview, and I’m very grateful that Laurie got to share her memories with us.
