Episode 4 of the Tony Sandler Podcast picks up where we left off, in the elegant Persian Room on tour with Polly Bergen.

The show recaps Lauren Bacall's desire to "meet" Tony, which leads Tony down a path of memories about Sonny & Cher, Princess Magaret, Nancy Wilson, Lou Rawls and Vincente Minnelli.

This is also the time Sandler & Young get their big break with record deal at Capitol Records. Dave Cavanah helped Tony and Ralph score their first big hit. Listen to Tony tell the story and then hear the song that was all over radios across the nation.

It was a level of fame Ralph Young thought he would never achieve. Tony explains why Ralph was known by friends as "Bad Luck Charlie," and why the tide turned after meeting Tony Sandler.
