Listen "Vaughn Meader"
Episode Synopsis
What unusual tie does Vaughn Meader have to Milwaukee? Vaughn was a film actor, musician, comedian, and impersonator. He was best known for his number one album "The First Family," a 1962 comedic take off on the Kennedys in the White House. "The First Family Volume Two" was also top 10. At the time volume one was the fastest selling album and won a Grammy for album of the year. Vaughn performed his Kennedy impersonation around the country, on TV and in nightclubs. And we played cuts from the album on the radio. When the president was assassinated in 1963, the album was pulled off the shelves and that part of Meader's career was over. President Kennedy thought the album was funny, so on this the anniversary of John F. Kennedy's birthday we bring Vaughn Meader and the first family to the podcast and he'll tell us about that unusual tie to Milwaukee?
