“BY MY SIDE”
PHOTO BY KORBY BANNER
Engaging the whole world in a conspiracy
of love, dance queen extraordinaire Kristine
W is dazzling the dance floors this summer
with her new hit single “By My Side.” The
song is a tribute to all the people who give
us unconditional support and friendship,
no matter the circumstances. Love in all its
forms, precious and fragile and enduring,
is the priceless gift that makes our lives
worthwhile, invisibly holding us up while
demanding no repayment.
From a Miss America contestant to the
glamor of being named the the eighth
greatest dance artist of all time, the Vegasbased
artist began recording in the ‘90s with
hits including “Feel What You Want” (#1 on
Billboard), “Stars”, and “Love and Lies”,
now tying Mariah Carey for the seventh
most number one dance hits. Kristine has
also headlined her own show in Las Vegas,
winning “Las Vegas Entertainer of the Year”,
and is officially sanctioned as the
entertainer who performed more live shows
in the Las Vegas Hilton than any other
performer in history, including Elvis Presley.
“By My Side” is destined to stand out as one of the biggest and brightest hits of the season.
In an intimate interview, Kristine W shared some deep thoughts and revealed facts about
her life and career not well known by the wider world……
INTERVIEW >>
So You Have A Brand New
Song And It’s So Cool.
Isn’t It Cool? It’s The Greatest.
I Finally Captured It. I’ve Been
Working On The Dang Song
For 20 Years And I Finally
Captured It. I Finally Finished
The Bridge. I Just Could Never
Get The Bridge Right. I’ve
Written So Many Bridges For
That Song, But It Just Never
Seemed Right. It Seemed Too
Simple Without A Bridge To
Take It Somewhere. I Always
Wanted To Do An Old School
Donna Summer Percussion
Breakdown, Where It’s All Live
Percussion. It’s Hard To Get
Anybody To Want To Do That
Because It Takes A Lot Of
Work. Chris Cox Is Like Me.
Like I’ve Studied All The Old
Producers And The Productions
Back In The Day, So I
Met My Kindred Spirit There.
I Brought My Bongos Over To
His Place. We Mic’d Everything.
So That Bridge And That
Whole Breakdown Is All Live.
Methodically Recorded One
At A Time. Nobody Does That
Anymore. But You Can Hear
It. You Can Feel It. This Is A
Special Song. It Celebrates
Families And People That
Stick By Us.

You Have An Album Coming
Out. I Don’t Know How Much
You Want To Talk About Or
How Much You Can Talk
About It, But Talk Away. Tell
Me About It.
I Kind Of Haven’t Even Put
The Titles To Any Of My
Songs Out There Or Even The
Title Of My Album Out There,
Because Last Time I Did It, I
Had The Stronger Album. And
I Was Talking About It To The
Press And Then Britney Had
A Song Called “Stronger”. So
Now, After That, I Was Like
“Ok.” That Was In My Rca
Days. I Decided Maybe Talking
About The Names Was Not A
Good Idea. So I Haven’t Really
Talked About It Too Much.
Do You Recall A Moment In
Your Life That Changed The
Whole Trajectory Of It?
As Far As Music, Something
That Changed Me Was
Taking My Lifeguard Money
And Jumping On A Plane
And Going To Reno. I Was
15 Years Old. I Jumped On
A Plane And I Made All That
Money Lifeguarding. My Uncle
John Used To Travel And Go
To Vegas. He Would Go To
Gamble And Have Fun. And
He Would Leave His Little
Magazines With All The Stuff
Going On. He Was At The
Mgm Grand In Reno. And He
Would Tell Us, “This Is What’s
Going On. I’m Going To Leave
This Here–Check It Out.” And
Then I Saw The Talent Show.
And I Got It In My Mind That
I Wanted To Get On A Plane
And Go There And Compete In
This Talent Show, Not Thinking
That I Wasn’t Old Enough To
Go Into Bars. Then My Mom,
I Don’t Think She Really Took
Me That Seriously. So When
I Called Her From The Mgm
In Reno And I Said, “Well, I’m
Here. I Told You I Was Going
To Do This,” She Was Like,
“What The
Hell? I’m
Going To
Call The
Police.” I
Didn’t Tell
Anybody
What My
Age Was.
I Was 16
And I Was
About 5’11.
We Had An
80-Year-
Old Lady
That
Owned
A Bridal
Shop. She
Had Gotten
This Red
Dress In
By Accident
And
She Didn’t
Know What
To Do With
This Red
Dress. So She Told Me If I
Wanted To Have It, I Could.
And That’s What I Put In My
Suitcase And Went With. I
Ended Up Winning That Talent
Show In Reno Against All
These Adults. Singing “Last
Dance” By Donna Summer.
They Had A Live Band. I Think
That Just Changed Everything
Because In My Mind, I Was
Like, “Oh, I’m Good Enough To
Beat All These Adults.” Bottom
Line Is I Made The Top Four
And I Ended Up Winning It.
What did you get for winning?
I’m just curious.
I think you got $100 and a free
night in the hotel and maybe
breakfast or something like
that. It wasn’t that big of a
deal, but you could also go
to the entertainment director
to be considered to perform
there sometimes. It gave me
a lot of confidence. I had won
a lot of local talent shows. I
won the state fair. I was the
soloist in a jazz band. I think
that crazy trip I did changed
my path. And on a personal
side, I think leukemia changed
me. I got leukemia in 2001. I
think that changed me greatly.
That was a year living at
UCLA. Fighting everyday to
stay around. Trying something
that was new at that time,
which is stem cell transplant.
You watched a lot of people
die and it was horrifying, but
also enlightening in that “If I
make it out of here, I’m going
to do positive things.” Not that
I wasn’t already. I mean, I had
two babies–a one-and-a-halfyear-old
and a three-year-old.
You fight like you never fought
before. You look at things
and say, “OK, I’m not really
going to sweat the small stuff.”
You look at what’s important.
I really dedicated myself to
making sure that my kids were
good people.

Have you had your ultimate
stage fantasy yet?
I think this last show I did a
couple of weeks ago, opening
for Kylie Minogue, was kind
of like that. In a way, you’re
playing Jones Beach Amphitheater
with 12,000 people out
there. I think that was probably
a dream come true for a lot of
performers to be able to have
that kind of sound. That kind of
lights. That kind of production
behind you. The Jumbotron,
where your music videos are
playing. I was transported. I
had a couple of my dancers.
Just being there with Deborah
Cox, who I’ve done a lot of
shows with, and Taylor Dayne.
I mean, just being on stage
with so many professional
females. Just being there with
all these female artists bringing
their A game, it was just a wonderful
moment. It’s a full circle
moment for me because the
first radio station that I heard
my song played on in New
York was KTU. My song “One
More Try”. I wrote a song about
it and it’s called “Song Lives
On”. It’s just one day in New
York that I will never forget.
That was actually one of my
questions to you: What did
you think the first time you
ever heard yourself on the
radio?
I was in Bob Jamieson’s office,
waiting for him to come. My
song was playing throughout
RCA Records and “One More
Try” was playing, and I just lost
it. And he walked in and asked
if I was all right. And I said,
“That’s my song!” I don’t even
think he realized it was my
song. He had so many artists
and so many things going on at
that time, I don’t even think he
realized it. So anyway, it was
a full circle moment getting to
perform in that KTU lineup.
If you could have me ask you
any question on the planet,
what would it be?
Boy, that’s tough. I think people
don’t really ask me about my
love of horses because they
don’t really know that I do that.
People don’t even know I have
this whole other thing going on.
It helps me finance my music.
I have my own independent
label. I’m not with a label. So I
have to be creative in financing
the promotion of the records
and paying the producers and
the remixes and all that stuff.
The shows only pay for so
much of it, so I got creative
during covid. I knew I had to do
something else to get income
going. So I basically turned my
place into a horse hotel. And
now I kind of host a lot of the
cowboys in the national finals
of the rodeo.
So you ride, I assume?
Yes, I do. My grandpa raised
and trained quarter horses. He
was a farmer–all of my family
is. I even still have a little bit of
land that I raised sweet onions
on.
I understand you have a day
named after you in Vegas?
I do. I have Kristine W Day
because I performed more
shows than Elvis. Actually, I
think I performed more shows
than anybody else that played
that main showroom, except
for now, I think, Barry Manilow
has stepped in. You have to
put it in perspective that when
I first started there, like 1990,
the headliners did one show a
night. I was in the Tina Turner
room, which is a small room
with like 250 seats. We did
four 45 minute shows a night.
So you accumulate a lot more
shows than you do being a resident
there. My hips are feeling
it now. I was jumping around
and dancing for a long time.
Is there anything that you
want to add that we haven’t
discussed?
Just tell everybody to appreciate
those that support
them. That are around them,
that support their dreams and
visions. Because those people
are so critical in helping you,
even if they can’t finance it.
Their support keeps driving
you forward. That is what “By
My Side” is about. I’m really
proud of this album because
the songs are heartfelt. “So
Much Love, So Little Time To
Give To You”, that’s one of the
titles. Another one is “I Hope
Your Heart Found a Home”.

RANDY EDELMAN
THE MAN, THE MUSIC, AND THE MAGIC BY GABRIEL EVAN
There is a neurosis in the air,
which its inhabitants mistake
for energy. The climate is
scandalous, the traffic insane,
and the competition savage.
However, there is no place like it
on the planet. People go to L.A.
to try to find themselves, but they
come to New York to become
someone new…For the past two
years, composer Randy Edelman
has braved the chaos, the threat
of plague, and the monotony of
faces and has made a new and
contrasting identity for himself
amongst the sizzling concrete and
the sold-out solo performances
at the edgiest nightlife soirées
in New York and recently also in
London.
He began his New York
renaissance at the electric,
9000-square-foot dance space Rumi and then jammed the Monster, the Townhouse,
the Green Room 42, City Winery, and now a residency at the trendy night spot
Chelsea Table + Stage, where he dazzles audiences with music and stories
intimately celebrating the soundscape of his illustrious career.
Randy is known above all for writing the soundtracks to over 100 television
productions and motion pictures, including “Last of The Mohicans” (which
earned him a Golden Globe nomination), “Dragonheart”, “Ghostbusters ll”, “My
Cousin Vinny”. “Anaconda”, “Gettysburg”, “Drop Dead Fred”, “Kindergarten
Cop”, “Twins”, “While You Where Sleeping”, the hit series “MacGyver”, and a
kaleidoscope of ESPN events (which he won an Emmy for), the Olympics, and an
massive array of others. He is also a pop recording artist, having written “Weekend
In New England” (as recorded by Barry Manilow), “Isn’t It A Shame” (as recorded
by Patti LaBelle), “My Place” (as recorded by Nelly), “You” ( as recorded by the
Carpenters), and limitless others.
Most recently he wrote the soundtrack for the new thriller “The Possession of
Anne”, which will be out on Amazon Prime this October, plus “Athena Saves
Christmas,” the new Josh Webber holiday movie starring Cuba Gooding Jr., “Too
Hot To Handle: The Making of Ghostbusters ll” and “Heart Strings”, directed by Ate
de Jong. Edelman is also currently working on another album to be released early
next year. What’s more, he is being inducted into the New England Music Hall of
Fame this September 30.

INTERVIEW >>
Hello, Randy. What is the
process you go through
when scoring the music
to an entire film? In other
words, what comes first–do
you read the script or wait
and see the rough cut of the
movie?
You can read a script, but to be
very honest with you, that won’t
really point you in the right
direction. You have to see the
movie after it’s shot and see
the characters, see the style,
the way the director shot the
film, see the way the film looks,
what period it takes place in,
what year, what city….So, I
found over the years that it’s
best that I wait and actually see
something before I start writing
the music. Until you see it, you
really don’t get that spark.
You’ve also written songs
for artists, including Barry
Manilow, Patti LaBelle,
the hip-hop artist Nelly,
Olivia, Newton-John, and a
bunch of others. How does
that work for you? Do the
artists come to you and say
“Write me a song” or do
you present the song to the
artist?
Nobody ever comes to me. In
my case, I wrote songs and
did my own albums. They
didn’t, shall we say, sell in a
big way. Therefore, I wanted
other people to do the songs
and they mainly heard them
from the recordings on my own
albums. I never really wrote
songs for a particular artist.
I usually write songs based
on what I feel at the time and
people usually pick them up
from my own recordings. For
example, the rapper Nelly
heard a recording of my song
that somebody else did,
namely Patti LaBelle. Years
later, after she recorded it,
he heard that recording and
adapted it to his style. So,
records happen in lots of
different ways.
What inspired the themes
you wrote for NASA and the
Olympics? Did they come to
you in this situation and tell
you what they wanted or did
it happen organically?
What they did was used music
that I had written for films or
for the event just mentioned.
Once in a while, they will call
about something specifically
as far as the Super Bowl
or the NASA launch. They
responded to some of the film
scores I had used, which had
a very triumphant, anthem
type quality. They started using
that for a specific event, like
opening the Super Bowl or
closing the Olympics.
Throughout your amazing
career thus far, what has
been the biggest challenge
you’ve encountered?
You know what? Each area
that I have been involved with
is always a challenge. If you
are doing an album, that’s one
challenge. If you’re doing a
film score and you don’t have
enough time to do what it will
take, then you have to figure
PHOTO CREDIT BILLY HESS
out how to get it done. Then,
once in a while, you’re doing a
concert and that’s a challenge
because you want the music to
sound in a live setting the way
it sounded when you recorded
it.
Why did you become a
composer in the first place?
I didn’t really think about it.
When I was young, it seemed
it was the only thing I felt I
had a leg up on other people.
Nobody was really interested
when I was young, as music
wasn’t what it is now. I had
a certain ear for it and I
gravitated toward listening to
things, whether it was a record
or the radio, and then I would
go to the piano and see if I
could duplicate the sound or
the melody of it. That’s what
kind of led me to this from an
early age. I didn’t have any
idea what I was going to do or
what I’m doing now for years
and years….Actually, it was the
only thing I was good at.

CELEBRITY CORRESPONDENT
THE MARVELOUS
MELBA MOORE
“IT SEEMS TO HANG ON”
The marvelous Melba
Moore surprised fans
with a Pride addition
of the bonus track
from her new album,
“Imagine”, called “It
Seems To Hang On”,
written and originally
recorded by Nickolas
Ashford and Valerie
Simpson in 1978. The
surprise track is a
gift of appreciation
for her fans and the
writers and it was
recorded on her
daughter’s label, the
Gallery Entertainment/
Orpheus Enterprises.
INTERVIEW >>
Hello, Melba. Let’s start by
talking about your fab new
song. What inspired it?
My daughter brought it to
me and as a result, she is
going to be my new boss.
She inspired it and her name
is Charli. She brought it to
me by way of her Uncle Bo
Huggins. He and his brother,
my ex-husband, are really
responsible for all of the recording
success that I’ve had
over the last 20 or 30 years.
Although I’m not married to
him anymore. I still have a
friendship with her Uncle Bo
and we have done some other
things together. When I heard
it was him that gave the song
to her, I said, “Well, at least
I know he knows a hit.” She
told me that her Uncle Bo
had given it to her before she
played it. But then she played
it for me without any other
information. So I didn’t have
any preconceived notions.
After the first bar, I thought “I
haven’t heard it yet, but I like
it.” The hook comes right in
the beginning. But it’s kind of
muffled like that and you can’t
hear what it is, but you still like
it. By the time she got down to
the first verse, I thought it had
such a new, fresh sound to it.
I really, really like it. So she
got the person who did the
demo–her name is Chantel
Hampton–and she actually
did the arrangement. She
got permission for her so she
could use it for herself. But
I’m saying that my daughter
brought it to me, and because
she did that, it became part of
this project. It reconfigures our
family in a totally different way
because I’m still divorced from
her father.

Are you friends with him,
though?
No. We weren’t really in touch
with each other, but the music
brought us back together
and we found a way to work
together by me, really, passing
the baton on to our daughter.
She is a head for this
industry that I didn’t realize.
She worked for other publishing
companies and other
record companies. It’s a new
experience for me.
It’s kind of coming
all together in its
own synergy. And
I’m just like, “Wait a
minute!”
Does she sing?
She can sing, but
she doesn’t want
to sing. She didn’t
know her grandmother
because
she passed away,
but she knows all
about her. So I
think she feels like
she might be in
somebody’s shadow.
I didn’t push
for that reason too,
because I realized
I really wanted to
be my mother. She
was beautiful, people
treated her well,
she had charisma,
she was famous.
You could see how
you would want to do that.
But she also saw how hard it
is. How things could fall apart
because when her marriage
fell apart, her life fell apart.
You have been a gay icon
forever. How did that happen?
And how do you feel
about that? What motivated
you towards the gay community?
Nothing motivated or moved
me. They come to you and
they love you and they support
you and you were in the midst
of all of this incredible energy.
There is a humanity that
makes us. We are all human
beings. I am a born again
Christian. We are committed
to loving each other–before I
knew what that was, and I’m
not sure that I still do, but now
that I’m trying to live it out, I’m
really glad.
PHOTO BY BILLY HESS
Because if we don’t have the
same philosophy, we can
still really care about each
other. We don’t have to force
anybody to take your philosophy,
as long as I’m not trying
to push it down your throat and
you don’t be trying to push it
down mine–we can share this
part at, least.
In other words, don’t judge.
Yes, I guess it boils down to
that.
Have you had your ultimate
stage fantasy yet? What are
you looking for?
Just for my team to be together
again. When it was all kind
of happening, the agents were
here and the publicist and the
managers, so everybody knew
who you were because you
have plenty of publicity. I’m trying
to get that back
together. You need
a team–you can’t do
it by yourself. So I’m
getting ready to be
big again.
What do you mean
“again”?
Whatever happened
in the beginning, I
feel like it’s going to
be even bigger.
If you could have
me ask you any
question on the
planet, what would
it be?
There’s lots of
questions no one’s
ever asked me. My
whole thing is God
in heaven. But it’s
not religion. There
are a lot of things on
my mind that I think
about that probably
don’t fit into this context.
But they all do. So you
asked me a good question.
I was expecting this to be a
joyous, frivolous interview in
comparison to what I’m thinking;
it got deep. I think about
really serious things. This is on
everyone’s minds right now:
What if we lose our democracy?
But I don’t want you to
ask me the question because I
don’t have the answer.
