Anthony Newley was one of the great all-around entertainers of the 20th century   –  singer, actor, director, and composer –  who triumphed on Broadway, the West End, in films, and on television. Yet he remains more of a cult figure, rather than being recognized as the giant that he was. This special program seeks, in some small way, to rectify that. Hosted by internationally obscure radio presenter Mal Thursday, with commentary from Garth Bardsley, author of "Stop the World: The Biography of Anthony Newley." Featuring such classics from the Anthony Newley-Leslie Bricusse songbook as "Feeling Good," "What Kind of Fool Am I," and "Pure Imagination," taken from his '60s and '70s LPs, original Broadway cast recordings, and television appearances, along with interpretations by Sammy Davis Jr., Nina Simone, Shirley Bassey, and the Impressions. Produced by J.M. Dobies for Worldwide Airwaves.
