STEVE GOODMAN July 25, 1948 – September 20, 1984

THE BEST OF STUDS TERKEL this week features Studs Terkel’s April 1976 conversation with singer-songwriter, irrepressible guitarist, and Chicago native, Steve Goodman. Born on the city’s north side in July 1948, Steve Goodman began writing, performing his songs, and attracting a dedicated following while still a teenager. At the age of 21 he was diagnosed with leukemia, the disease which would claim his life on September 20th, 1984.

You can listen to Studs and Steve and their musical conversation Saturday 9/19 at 7pm CST on 98.7 WFMT and also on www.wfmt.com.

Enjoy the videos,
Louise
