COLLABORATOR & HUSBAND TO THE LATE DONNA SUMMER

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW!

Bruce Sudano has had his hand in some of the 20th century’s biggest hits, sung by mega talents from Michael and Jermaine Jackson to Dolly Parton and Donna Summer, his late wife. At this point, he could easily rest on his musical laurels. Instead, he recorded an album about life right here, right now, in this 21st Century World. And he filled it with hard questions, some well-aimed finger pointing and poignant observations about the human experience — for better and worse.



When he speaks, the longtime Los Angeles resident’s accent still conveys his strong New York roots; in fact, his first child is named Brooklyn. (He and Summer had two daughters; Brooklyn stars in the new NBC series Taken, and Amanda co-founded the band Johnnyswim. Sudano also raised stepdaughter Mimi.)



Sudano was 4 when he began making music, first on accordion, then on guitar and piano. He started getting paid for it at 12. By the time he was 20, he had a hit, “Ball of Fire,” co-written with his mentor, Tommy James (“Hanky Panky,” “Mony, Mony,” “I Think We’re Alone Now”), who recorded it with his band, the Shondells.



“He was the first person to take me under his wing, to take me into a recording studio, write with me and basically show me how it was done, in the real world,” Sudano recalls. “He took me out of the neighborhood and put me in the music business. We’re friends to this day.”



Sudano had co-founded the band Alive N Kickin’ in 1968; in 1970, James wrote and produced their top-10 hit, “Tighter, Tighter.” Five years after leaving that band, Sudano co-founded Brooklyn Dreams. That same year, 1977, he met Summer, who began writing with the band. They penned “Take It to the Zoo” for the Thank God It’s Friday film soundtrack, then the band appeared as the Planotones in the film, American Hot Wax. They hit No. 4 with Summer duetting on “Heaven Knows,” and in 1979, Summer and the band wrote the No. 1 pop and R&B hit “Bad Girls.” It became the title song to the most popular album of her career.



In 1980, Sudano released his first solo album, which contained “Starting Over Again,” written with Summer about his parents’ divorce. Dolly Parton turned it into a No. 1 country hit. Fifteen years later, Reba McEntire took it to No. 19. In 1985, Sudano co-wrote the Grammy-nominated Michael and Jermaine Jackson duet, “Tell Me I'm Not Dreaming (Too Good to Be True).” After years spent managing Summer’s career, as well as playing and singing in her band, Sudano released another solo album, Rainy Day Soul. That 2004 release gave him three top 10 adult contemporary hits, and New Music Weekly’s Adult Contemporary Artist of the Year award. “It's Her Wedding Day,” a track from his third solo album, earned him the 2009 New Music Weekly Adult Contemporary Song of the Year award.



Bruce has returned to touring as well. These days you can find him performing alongside an eclectic group of musicians. From the wildly successful band Johnnyswim to the iconic British band The Zombies, or jamming with young rockers Hollis Brown, Sudano is back on the road re-engaging with audiences.

I am a retired doctor. I have always been an entrepreneur; founding my own unique healthcare IT medical concierge business in 1997 and successfully practicing all over the world until my retirement In 2015. After retirement and since I felt I still had time and business to do, I looked long and hard to find a “cause” worthy of my undivided attention. That cause came to light when the opioid crisis hit too close to home: a couple of friends of my children (whom I remembered as charming little boys in cubscout uniforms, little league unis and Halloween costumes), lost their lives to overdose. It became clear to me that “obliterating opiods and the opiate crisis, one step at a time” was to become my mission. Big Pharma drugs and synthetic compounds were being marketed at the expense of lives. I knew CBD would become the vehicle central to my mission, but to find a company with a combination of quality product, a solid philanthropic business mission, transparency, integrity and ethics while wanting to help the community find wellness, was a task. After due diligence I found a company with the best sourcing, quality control, production, packaging and reported OUTCOMES within the constraints of the law. I chose CBDBioCare. Now, I educate consumers in Wellness and alternative medicine, the potential benefits and proven results conferred by CBD. Since my business, RADical Relief and Wellness, partnered with CBDBiocare in October 2017, I have been delightfully rewarded with support of my mission, as well as personally rewarded with the proven benefits of CBD. I take CBDBiocare for pain and inflammation due to overly ambitious workouts, occasional bouts of arthritis, daily RLS (Restless Legs Syndrome) and insomnia. Every day in my research, I am amazed at what new discoveries are being made in which CBD can offer relief and Wellness. Join me and my team and help us fight to offer alternative medicine to those in pain.

I am a New Jersey sports dad, youth coach and Founder of iSport360. There are 30MM sports parents in our country who are frustrated by the lack of player feedback from their kids’ coaches…which is especially upsetting when many are spending thousands of dollars a year on sports. I also know first hand that coaches don’t have the time or tools to let every parent know how their child is doing. So the problem is a huge expectation gap between parents and coaches that leads to hyper-stressed parents on the sidelines and arguments over who made the travel team, who gets the starting position and who gets more playing time.



To solve this problem, we recently launched our data-driven mobile app that allows coaches and parents to share goals, objective feedback and data throughout the season and especially at the dreaded tryout time. To do this, we worked with experts in each sport and the guidelines provided by national governing bodies to define skills in a sport-, age- and gender-specific way…..for the FIRST TIME EVER. Now our app, and our proprietary database of well-defined sports skills is helping teams share coach feedback, improve player development and increase parent engagement. So please give the app a try at www.iSport360.com and sign up for our informative, and frequently funny, sports-parenting newsletter "The Chaotic World of Youth Sports". https://isport360.com/
