Today on the Rarified Heir Podcast encore edition, we talk to Michael Weintraub, son of legendary producer/agent/manager/promoter Jerry Weintraub. We talk about the legendary career Jerry made as a film producer, talent agent, concert promoter and even as an actor. It’s a truly amazing career working with everyone from Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra, to Bob Dylan and John Denver, George Clooney to The Carpenters. Along the way, we hear about Michael’s step-mother Jane Morgan, an entertainer who, like host Josh Mills’ mother Edie Adams, recorded albums, performed on stage, screen and cabaret acts. We hear some great stories including hearing John Denver on the radio for the first time, dealing with Colonel Tom Parker in booking Elvis Presley, evenings with Ed Sullivan, Bob Dylan’s fingernails, dinner with half of the Beatles and much more. It’s a fist hand account of what it was like to work on projects like Oceans 11, managing The Moody Blues, booking Led Zeppelin and a whole lot more. It’s all next on the Rarified Heir Podcast. Take a listen!
