The Phone Call That Changed Your Life

Today on the show we spoke about how songwriter Paul Anka phoned the executor of the Michael Jackson estate because he recognised new track This Is It as a song he co-wrote with the King of Pop way back in 1983 and as a result of his angry phone call, Anka is now getting a writing credit on the album and 50 percent of all profits from the song.

 

So that got us talking about phone calls that changed your life - either ones you made or one made to you.

Colm's life changing phone call was when someone looking for a person to go on air in an emergency called him up after pulling out his demo tape from a drawer and that was his big break on radio.

 

Jim's life changing phone call was when Sharon, his now fiancee but then just a friend, had gone away to Australia and she gave him a call when she got back and they arranged to meet up for a drink and the rest as they say is history.
