Description
Breaking the Ice is a revealing & unapologetic look behind the scenes of one of the fastest-growing digital radio shows in the country, The C.C. Cowan Show. After more than fifteen years in the entertainment business,the host C.C. Cowan has turned his sights on creating a stand alone radio show that would not only shine a light on the greatest artist in the world, but redefine the term "celebrity interviewer" all together. While the paparazzi are aiming their cameras at the twenty-somethings who currently dominate the airwaves, Cowan chooses to point his microphone in the direction of the industry's most prolific singers, songwriters, and producers from the 70s, 80s, 90s and today. Within this collection of interviews, celebrities and exchanges Cowan manages to break through the impenetrable wall of icy persona that many artists construct to survive in an industry that caters to youth and beauty over talent. You'll laugh, cry, and want to burst into song as he recounts discussions with some of the most dynamic artists of the past four decades, the highs and lows of live broadcasts, the truth about celebrity no-shows, and the technical difficulties that nearly caused him to quit radio. Includes interview excerpts from: Gloria Gaynor, Ann Nesby, Sarah Dash, Martha Wash, Phil Perry, Glenn Jones, Miki Howard, Kenny Lattimore, Chante Moore, Karyn White, D'Atra Hicks, Calvin Richardson, Rhonda Ross, Fred Thomas Jr., Mario Winans, Tony Terry, Sandra St. Victor, Marc Staggers, Donnell Jones, Johnny Gill, Randy Gill, Robert Gee and Link. Plus bonus interviews with rising superstars Shaliek and EL DeBarge Jr.
