(PLAYS PIANO CHORD) KENNY: I was born
in the Village, and my parents were...
predated hippies and beatniks. They were Bohemian. They started me on piano
lessons five years old. I learned Mozart and Bach, and then
I saw "Jailhouse Rock," and he was doing art,
and he still had a Cadillac, and that was all
I needed to know. When I was about 16, I moseyed into New York City
and started hustling. They gave me a songwriting job
at Kama Sutra Records, and their specialty
was bubblegum music. ♪ Sugar ♪ ♪ Oh, honey, honey ♪ KENNY: ...which was coined
by Neil Bogart, the great record exec. ♪ You are my candy girl... ♪ DON: Kenny Laguna did
some great stuff pre-Joan. I don't know where we would've
been without that guy. He was a bubblegum hero
