Joe Stampley - The Original "Lucious Lucy" straight man

Celebrity Interviews with Joey Mitchell

Back in the day while I was doing mornings at KRAK in Sacramento in 1978, I spoofed a song that Joe Stampley recorded entitled "If You've Got 10 Minutes, Let's Fall in Love". In the song, Joe asked many opened ended questions which I decided to fill on air with stupid responses from my alter ego - Luscious Lucy. Well my dumb version was an instant hit locally with our listeners (you have to understand that they felt sorry for me) and I asked Joe's management if I could record my version with local singer Beau Melgreen. They agreed if I would surprise Joe Stampley on stage during his concert, wearing an awful costume as Luscious Lucy. I finally tracked Joe down after all these years to talk about that day and his career. He is an amazing guy with a big heart and a ton of talent. Check him out and see if you agree.
