About Our Interviewer:

Jim Stagg entertained Chicago at several local radio stations.  In addition to personality and voice, he is perhaps best remembered for Stagg's Starbeat.  This program feature was in-depth, provocative, and insightful interviews with music celebrities, local, national and international.  Just a few of the artists passing through his studio were; Neil Diamond, Ray Charles, Sinatra, The Rolling Stones, Supremes, and Simon & Grafunkel.

During his career he hosted a nightly show interviewing political figures, authors, and cultral personalities.

One of the real treats for Jim and his listeners was the extensive one-on-one interviews he conducted with The Beatles while traveling with them during their three American tours. He captured on tape their reactions and comments in every city and after each concert.

Jim established and developed a very successful music retailing business.  Starting with a shop in Skokie, Record City soon expanded to five Chicago locations and two in Orlando.

Now retired, but desirous of something new and fulfilling, Jim is anxious to return to some of those earlier roots, interviewing very special people and their extraordinary lives.  With his ability to guide the conversation and provoke memories, he will help you and your loved one connect the generations and preserve the story of your lives.
