This is a public television WTTW interview with host Phil Ponce. They did an extraordinary job underscoring the essence of Corky's career in minutes. They include some nice shots of Howlin Wolf, Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon, and Siegel-Schwall. Of course this doesn't include a lot of important aspects and we want to mention that Sam Lay (on the drums) and William Russo (pictured between Seiji Ozawa and Corky in 1968 at Ravinia in Chicago with the Chicago Symphony) were also a very important part of Corky's life.

I first heard Corky in a club in Rockford, IL (I believe it was off State Street) in '75 or '76. I literally wore out a cassette tape I had of him. This was after the Siegel-Schwall days. The person who I went to the club with had been following them for years.
Some of his classics (that I still remember the words to) are: Idaho Potato Man, Midnight Radio, On the Rebound, Southwest Coast Blues, Since I Told You, Goodbye California, Just a Little Piece, Oh Emy Lou, & Half Asleep at the Wheel
