Blue Sky: The Oral History Of James L. Greenwald

Jim Greenwald grows up in New York City with dreams of becoming a songwriter. Returning from the Korean War, he talks his way instead into a job selling radio advertising time and eventually becomes one of the titans of the broadcasting industry. He shares his business and personal stories in Blue Sky, a vivid and inspirational oral history compiled and written by Linnie Larson Pickering. Blue Sky covers Greenwald's life before, during, and after his forty-two years at Katz Communications, where he rises to chairman and CEO and still holds the title chairman emeritus. His is a life lived to the fullest. He talks candidly about first loves and dating, marriages and break-ups (and more!). The famous athletes and personalities who cross his path come alive through his stories. Blue Sky is a gripping and often hilarious book embracing the enthusiasm of youth, passionate devotion to the broadcasting industry, tips on how to succeed in business, poignant times with family and friends, and the challenges of aging and declining health, including the stroke that changes his life. Greenwald's passion for life and his beloved industry is contagious. He still writes songs.
