WALTER SCOTT ASKS...

BARRY MANILOW

The musician, 70, will perform on the PBS special A Capitol Fourth, airing live from the National Mall July 4 at 8 p.m. ET.

This is your second time doing this Independence Day special. What do you love about it? Participating in 2009 was thrilling. I closed the show with my song “Let Freedom Ring,” which I’ll do again this year. The fireworks began during the last key change, and it was fantastic.

Are there any current artists you’d like to perform with?

Bruno Mars. He puts together an exciting show with a band and choreography. I just love that kind of thing!

You’re very passionate about the importance of music in schools. Yes, that’s why I started my nonprofit, the Manilow Music Project. When I go on the road, I ask audiences in each city to donate instruments they’re not using to local schools. If people do that before we get into town, we give them free tickets to my show. I don’t know where I’d be without music—it changed my life. I’m only one guy, so I do what I can. I hope I’m helping.

How do you describe your relationship with your fans? My demographics are all over the place—from young people to grandmas. By the time the show is done, I’m not just a guy up there singing; it’s like we know each other. It’s always been that way. I think that’s why they stay with me.

We Steal Secrets: The Story of WikiLeaks Julian Assange: crusading truth-teller or paranoid megalomaniac?

Finally, an AFFORDABLE solution for anyone having difficulty with the stairs!

Word Teaser Can you guess the meaning?

Peccable

I gave up smoking after 20 years with a few setbacks and a lot of determination. But my brother believes some people are genetically predisposed to be unable to quit. Do you think he’s right?

—Richard Glogowski, River Grove, Ill.

Cigarettes don’t exist in nature, so our genes don’t carry any information about smoking. The same with alcohol: It’s not a natural drink for any animal (and is rarely found in nature), so no one is programmed to be unable to stop drinking alcohol.

Addiction is a completely different matter. All people will find it very difficult to withdraw from a habit-forming substance, whether they reach their goal in a relatively short time or are in misery for months. The process is always multifactorial. When addiction problems run in families, sufferers labor under circumstances that aren’t just genetic.

AMERICA On the Fourth, it doesn’t get any better than buttermilk fried chicken and apple pie

FRIED CHICKEN

Season 3 lb chicken thighs and drumsticks with salt.

Combine chicken and 1½ cups buttermilk in a bowl; refrigerate at least 3

hours. Mix 1 cup flour, 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp celery salt, and ½ tsp pepper in a bowl. Drain chicken and pat dry. Coat in flour mixture. Pour vegetable oil into a 12-inch castiron skillet to a depth of ¼ inch. Warm over medium until a piece of chicken sizzles when lowered into oil. Fry chicken in batches (don’t crowd pan) until

done, 20 to 30 minutes per batch, turning occasionally and covering skillet for first 15 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Serve hot, or let cool and then cover and refrigerate to serve cold.

MINI APPLE PIES

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Combine ¼ cup sugar, 2 Tbsp flour,

½ tsp ground nutmeg, 1 tsp cinnamon, and ¹∕8 tsp salt in a bowl. Add 2 peeled, diced apples and toss.

Unroll 2 refrigerated 9-inch piecrusts onto a floured surface. Cut out 3-inch rounds. Reroll scraps and cut out more rounds.

You should have about 20 rounds. Lightly brush each with beaten egg. Place a large spoonful of apple

mixture in center of half the rounds. Cut a small vent in center of remaining rounds.

Cover filling with vented rounds, sealing edges with a fork or your fingers.

Brush tops with more egg; sprinkle with sugar. Bake pies on baking sheets until golden, about 20 minutes.

By Connie Schultz

s a writer whose name accompanies everything I write, I watched the documentary 20 Feet From Stardom and tried to imagine what it would feel like to produce decades of work without ever being identified as the creator.

That has been the career trajectory for so many talented women who’ve toiled in anonymity alongside some of music’s biggest stars. Artists as varied as Frank Sinatra, Sam Cooke, Elvis Presley, Stevie Wonder, Sting, and Bruce Springsteen have all relied on backup singers, many of them African-American vocalists with gospel roots and sky-high talent.

They were pioneers in the music industry, but they were invisible.

And yet, as Janice Pendarvis, who has sung with David Bowie and Sting, explains in the film, their work is familiar to legions of fans: “You know, when you think about the history of pop music and all the memorable hooks that people sing along with, they’re singing with us most of the time.”

Until director Morgan Neville decided to make a movie about them, most of us didn’t even know their names.

Darlene Love, Merry Clayton, Lisa Fischer, Táta Vega—they and many others appear in 20 Feet From Stardom, laughing and singing and sharing stories as inspiring as they are heartbreaking. They haven’t had the solo successes many of them had hoped for, but they spend little time dwelling on what could have been.

Exhibit A: Darlene Love. She recorded the 1962 hit song “He’s

Raising Their Voices A new documentary puts the spotlight on some of music’s most inspiring unsung talents

The Women Behind the Man In 1964, Darlene Love (center) and the Blossoms sang with Marvin Gaye.

a Rebel” with her group, the Blossoms. But producer Phil Spector released the song under the name of another group, the Crystals. For years, she’d listen to friends talk about how much they loved the song, not knowing it was her voice that made them swoon.

Eventually Love left Spector and, she thought, the music she loved behind. She was 40 and cleaning houses when she relaunched her career as a singer and actress. In 2011, she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Now 71, Love told me in a phone interview that she harbors no resentment toward Spector (who’s serving a prison sentence

for murder). “Early on, I kept saying, ‘Why am I holding a grudge when he’s not even thinking of me?’ ” she says. “Why give anyone that kind of power?”

Lisa Fischer’s sultry, wideranging voice led to a Grammy in 1992 for “How Can I Ease the Pain,” but she has mostly backed up other greats, including Luther Vandross, Tina Turner, and Sting.

For years, on tour with the Rolling Stones, she’s sung fiery duets with ALSO FEATURED IN 20 FEET FROM STARDOM

Lisa Fischer

Merry Clayton

Mick Jagger that have brought down the house. Soft-spoken and reflective, Fischer, 54, described in a phone interview the impact Jagger and Sting have had on her personally and professionally, teaching her to roll with mistakes.

“I’ve learned to keep the focus, not get so caught up in trying to run away or go around the corner of this emotion,” she says. “Don’t sully the beauty that could be coming to you.” She laughs softly.

“One constant: I know who’s living inside me. I like her.”

20 Feet From Stardom will spark a new appreciation for these vocalists. There is a soundtrack album, and The Best of Merry Clayton, which includes a version of the singer’s searing solo on “Gimme Shelter,” has also been released.

Judith Hill, 29, who sang with Michael Jackson, recently competed on The Voice; she was voted off the show but left with new fans.

Fischer says she hopes audiences find a message for themselves in the documentary. “I’d love to see this movie make people love themselves in this right-now moment,” she tells me.

Love was caught off guard by how the film moved her to tears.

“This is my life,” she says. “I love to sing and make people happy.”

She starts to laugh. “Oh, my,” she says, “listen to me. It does keep you going, this sense of joy.”

Breakthrough technology converts phone calls to captions.

The Captioning Telephone converts phone conversations to easy-to-read captions for individuals with hearing loss

Hello mrs fleming th is is dr mar tin how are yo u today? I just wanted to give you an update on your new prescription

Do you get discouraged when you hear your telephone ring? Do you avoid using your phone because hearing difficulties make it hard to understand the person on the other end of the line? For many Americans the telephone conversation – once an important part of everyday life – has become a thing of the past. Because they can't understand what is said to them on the phone, they're often cut off from friends, family, doctors and caregivers.

Now, thanks to innovative technology there is finally a better way.

A simple idea… made possible with sophisticated technology. If you have trouble understanding a call, the Captioning Telephone can change your life.

During a phone call the words spoken to you appear on the phone's screen – similar to closed captioning on TV. So when you make or receive a call, the words spoken to you are not only amplified by the phone, but scroll across the phone so you can listen while reading everything that's said to you. The captioning function can be turned on as needed.

Each call is routed through a call center, where computer technology – aided by a live representative – generates immediate voice-to-text translations. The captioning is real-time, accurate and readable. Your conversation is private and the captioning service doesn't cost you a penny – all you need is a high-speed Internet connection from any Internet provider and a standard phone line. Callers do not need special equipment or a captioning phone in order to speak with you.

Finally… a phone you can use again. The Captioning Telephone is also packed with features to help make phone calls easier.

The keypad has large, easy to use buttons. You get adjustable

SEE what you’ve been missing!

“For years I avoided phone calls because I couldn’t understand the caller… now I don’t miss a thing!” volume amplification along with the ability to save captions for review later. It even has an answering machine that provides you with the captions of each message.

See for yourself with our exclusive home trial. Try the Captioning Telephone in your own home and if you are not completely amazed, simply return it within 30-days for a refund of the product purchase price.

New amplified phone lets you hear AND see the conversation.

The Captioning Telephone is intended for use by people with hearing loss. In purchasing a Captioning Telephone, you acknowledge that it will be used by someone who cannot hear well over a traditional phone.
