This week on the Rockonteurs podcast, we are joined by Greg Phillinganes. Greg is an incredible artist, keyboardist, vocalist, arranger and, as you’ll hear he can tell a pretty good story too! In this episode he talks to his good friends Guy Pratt and Gary Kemp about his work with Stevie Wonder, The Jacksons, Eric Clapton and David Gilmour to name but a few.

The stories come thick and fast and Greg is one of our favourites. This is a must listen from a good friend of the Rockonteurs.

For anyone who’s ever wondered what really went on after the arena lights went down or before the tape started rolling, there’s Rockonteurs with Gary Kemp and Guy Pratt. This isn't a history lesson; it's a backstage pass handed to you by two blokes who were actually there. Gary, of Spandau Ballet fame, isn't just the voice behind 'True'-he lived the whirlwind of writing and performing those anthems. Guy Pratt’s bass lines have underpinned tracks for icons from Pink Floyd to Madonna, giving him a unique view from the studio floor and the tour bus. Together, they host conversations that feel more like a late-night chat in a lock-up than a formal interview. The podcast thrives on the specifics: the forgotten detail that changed a song, the chaotic tour moment that never made the biography, the unvarnished truth about collaboration and conflict in making classic rock. Each episode pulls back the curtain with artists, producers, and insiders who crafted the soundtrack to an era, sharing stories that are sometimes hilarious, often surprising, and always genuine. It’s for those who love the music but crave the real, unfiltered narrative behind it. Listening feels like you’ve pulled up a chair in a pub corner with the only people who can tell these tales, because they were in the room when it happened.
