The Les Reed Interview is featured on The Paul Leslie Hour.

Les Reed O.B.E., was one of the greatest contributors to popular music and the songs he co-wrote are all of the evidence you need.

“It’s Not Unusual” is the signature song of Tom Jones, and “Delilah,” recorded by Jones is one of Tom Jones’ most beloved songs. Les Reed had a hand in both of these.

“There’s a Kind of Hush,” is one of the songs most associated with Peter Noone and Herman’s Hermits, but there’s more.

Les Reed has written songs recorded by the likes of Frank Sinatra, Englebert Humperdinck, the Dave Clark Five, Connie Francis, Petula Clark, The Carpenters, Barry Manilow and too many others to list.

On top of all of this, Les Reed was a very open-hearted man and one with great gratitude for those who enjoyed his work. This interview will take you into the musical heart and mind of a truly great composer.
