AM: Mike, first and foremost you are an actor correct?

MP: Yes that's why I moved to Los Angeles.

AM: Where did you come from?

MP: My father was in the army and we traveled all around the world. I graduated from American University in Washington D.C. and then I came out here. I was actually on the set of 'A Few Good Men' being a stand in.

AM: So you've been in LA for a while.

MP: Since 1992. I've been blessed with some great work that has come to me.

AM: The fact that you're still here says a lot!

MP: Well I do other things. I've done some PR and I've written some books.

AM: That's one of the things I wanted to talk to you about. What was your first book?

MP: My first book was 'Angelic Heaven: The Fan Guide to Charlie's Angels' that took ten years to get published. We are revamping it so hopefully by this fall the revamp will happen.

AM: Is this due to a renewed interest in 'Charlie's Angels'?

MP: Yes with the new series and some new things have happened but also the original publisher screwed up a whole bunch of stuff. There are some things I would like to have corrected.

AM: What was your second book?

MP: I was hired for three books for Alyson books and the second one was 'The Q Guide To Charlie's Angels.' It was basically a gay look at 'Charlie's Angels.' It's just a fun look at the show with fun facts. After that I did 'The Q Guide to Wonder Woman' which was such a fun book to do. I got to learn all about 'Wonder Woman.' The whole book is an homage to Lynda Carter. It should be called the Lynda Carter book! There is a great story about how the show got on the air and CBS didn't want it then ABC wanted it. Then ABC ran it for a season and didn't want it so CBS ultimately got it.

AM: Then you wrote the book on 'The Brady Bunch'? Is there a gay angle to that show?

MP: There was but I ended up taking it out and I should have left it in because it was a lot funnier. I just didn't know if people would get the humor. There were just some things that I didn't know for sure with the general public. I actually feel like I did some disservice to my book. I just think it could have been funnier.

AM: So you are a natural comedian.

MP: Yes I think I'm kind of funny! I think...I don't know. People think I'm funny.

AM: You are funny! Did you write the books before or after working as an assistant to Farrah Fawcett?

MP: 'Angelic Heaven' came out while I was working with Farrah and she wrote the forward for it and so did Cheryl Ladd. Farrah gave me a lot of photos for the book.

AM: In the show 'Chasing Farrah' when she meets you on the street, was that set up?

MP: No, we had only met once before and that was at her book signing at the LA Museum and it was really brief. With 'Chasing Farrah' we knew she was coming and they did drop by and it just happened.

AM: She says she wants to see your collection. Did she do it?

MP: Yes she did. She is the only Angel that has come to my home to see the collection. They came a couple months after the taping. She was here for a couple hours and that's when I became her assistant.

AM: That is so unlikely! Are you aware of that?

MP: Yes it is unlikely. I didn't even want to take the job. They had asked me to go in for an interview and I thought yes I want to go for the interview so I can see her home and see her again but I had no plans to take the job. It's hard to have iconic TV stars and know them intimately. It's a scary thing. I thought there was no way I'm taking that job. I don't even want to be her assistant. It would bust my whole idea of who Farrah was.

AM: But it didn't ruin anything did it?

MP: No, my best friend Charlene Tilton, from the show 'Dallas' said, "You have to take the job!" She's the one who made me take the job for six months. I thought, "OK fine!" I was there for two years. We stayed good friends after I left.

AM: Why did you leave?

MP: To write my books. I needed to move on and she knew I needed to move on.

AM: She supported you moving on?

MP: Yes she did.

AM: Was she already diagnosed at this time?

MP: Yes I was in the room when she was told she had cancer. The real kindness of Farrah is she was worried about how it was affecting me. I was in shock and wondering what just happened. Of course her life changed and my life changed at that instant. That was Farrah. She cared more about what I was going through than what was going through her at that moment. It sank in and we got through it but it was really hard.

AM: Is this how you met the other Angels?

MP: No I had met Cheryl before when she did a book signing and I had been friends with her since 1996. I do her web site. Then I was working in PR when Tanya Roberts was on 'That 70's Show' and I helped promote that. I was with Kate Jackson and Jaclyn Smith at the Emmy's.

AM: I saw that!

MP: I've been really close with Kate now. I see Jaclyn all the time but she's busy with her empire. She created an empire with K Mart and in the beginning people were laughing at her, but she's the one who's laughing all the way to the bank now. It's great to see that she turned her love of decorating into a multi-million dollar business. She makes great clothes and people really enjoy them.

AM: I know that Cheryl Ladd is your favorite. Do you get a chance to work with her?

MP: I do work with her. I do her web site and we have a good rapport. Her husband adores me and I adore him. We all adore each other. I've stayed at their house and had a good time. We're just good buds and I love her.

AM: Are there more books in you?

MP: Yes! I'm writing a book on Betty White right now.

AM: Are you writing it because she's so popular right now?

MP: Yes one of my old editors has a new gig and they wanted a Betty White book. They told me they love how I work and they love my writing.

AM: Does Betty White know about this?

MP: I have not reached out to her yet, but it's happening. It's all about her life and it's all positive. It's a fun book that will look at all her characters. The woman has taken her celebrity and helped people and animals all around the world from the very beginning. She's such an advocate for everything. She's an amazing person who at 89 is still working.

AM: Do you receive a lot of emails asking you questions about all these people?

MP: Yes, mostly 'Charlie's Angels' because of charliesangels.com and the number one question is when is 'Charlie's Angels Season 5' coming out on DVD?

AM: Do you know anything?

MP: Hopefully with the new series starting it will get out.

AM: Is there anything else you are longing to do?

MP: I may possibly do a Farrah book about our relationship. It would be a fun look at our antics. I remember when we were hanging out and something would happen and I'd say, "That's going in my book" and she'd say, "No it's going in my book." We'd laugh about it!

AM: Obviously part of your destiny is to continue and enhance her legacy.

MP: I hope so. She was a dear, dear person and I hope I do right by her in everything I do. She was a wonderful caring person who cared about everybody. Her fight with cancer was to stay with her father and her son who were the lights of her life. They were the people that she loved the most out of everyone in her life. She had great Southern charm but all the Angels have Southern charm. They are all very sweet. Kate and Jaclyn miss her a lot. It's hard. It doesn't even feel like she's gone. I feel like she's in Germany and hasn't returned my phone call.

It's All About Pattie Brooks!

With Producer Rick Gianatos

All Photos:  Alan Mercer    Lighting: Eric V.

Pattie Brooks is most frequently referred to as a disco diva, but she is much more of a total entertainer. She was born in Fort Riley, Kansas to a military family. Her first break came in 1968 when she auditioned for the chorus on 'The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour.' In the next decade she became a sought-after backing singer, appearing on the Bobby Darin Show and touring with, among others Ann-Margret.

Around this time she came to the attention of disco producer Simon Soussan and her solo recording career began. Her first of four albums on the Casablanca label was 1977's 'Love Shook' and the whole album peaked at #2 on the US Dance Chart.

Pattie remained with Soussan and in 1978 recorded her biggest club hit, 'After Dark.' This cut was on the soundtrack to the film 'Thank God It's Friday' and as the soundtrack topped the club play charts, Pattie's contribution was up there with friend Donna Summer's 'Last Dance' as the most celebrated tracks.

'After Dark' was the mainstay of Pattie's second album 'Our Ms Brooks.' In 1979 Pattie released her third album 'Party Girl' produced by Bunny Sigler. The result was a far more varied album that encompasses funk, pop and a big ballad as well as pure disco.

In 1979 Pattie branched out from disco by singing "Close Enough For Love", the title song to the Vanessa Redgrave movie 'Agatha.' Pattie's fourth and last Casablanca album 'Pattie Brooks' is a pop-soul affair, produced by Michael "Love" Smith.

Today Pattie has been working with Rick Gianatos to create some new studio magic with her latest release 'It's All About The Music.' This song is amazing!

AM: Pattie, I absolutely love your new song! Do you just love it?

PB: I absolutely love it!!! I'm having so much fun! Everything that's happening with it is great. The back-up singers are the best and I told Rick, "This time it's for fun." I'm just having fun with it. We recorded this cut four or five years ago.

AM: I didn't know that.

PB: It's a work in progress. Now we're having fun putting the finishing touches on it and doing different mixes. I can't wait to perform it. It's a whole different feel for me.

AM: I'm saying it's a timeless song.

PB: I know...everybody who hears it goes away singing the chorus. It's ingrained already.

AM: Do you have any live dates scheduled?

PB: We will have some. Maybe in May.

AM: Why do you think you've had such an enduring career?

PB: I think it's staying active in the craft whether you have a record out or not. I sing back-up for people, I go and sing jazz and do rock n' roll. You just keep honing the craft.

AM: You're more of a singer than just a disco artist.

PB: Before I was signed I was singing Top 40 around LA. I was covering Aretha and Chaka Khan, whatever was around. Then I went though my jazz phase.

AM: I didn't know you ever sang jazz. I'd love to hear some.

PB: Wait till you hear some jazz. You will love it! It actually surprises people whenever I do it. Nobody knows and it's what I grew up with. Really it was jazz, opera, the full gamut, because I loved it. I loved all music!

AM: Do you consider yourself more an entertainer or a recording artist?

PB: Oh boy...I like live performances so I think entertainer. I know I can do the recording because I was a session singer and a demo singer for years, but I love the whole process of putting an act together where people can see that I do comedy and jazz, along with R&B ballads, even some country. The Pointer Sisters had a country hit! I want to do something almost like Bette Midler but on the R&B tip.

AM: Have you thought about putting this show together? It's sounds more theatrical.

PB: Yes and now I'm in a theatre production with The Pink Lady. I'm in rehearsals now for performances in March.

AM: What's the name?

PB: It's called 'Rockin' With The Ages' and a lot of the performers are way over forty. They're all talented and still doing it. It's a passion and they are very authentic about themselves and where they are at this time and what they can do. This play was written around me with 'After Dark' being a part of the play. I play a club owner who is about to be foreclosed on. I get to sing 'Midnight Train To Georgia' and 'On The Radio.'

AM: So you feel like you're in the middle of your career... you're not done?

PB: I've always kept at it but I did get out of the loop, and all of a sudden I realized there was another chapter here.

AM: Life really does run in cycles.

PB: Totally and I think the timing is right and if I get the right people to help me do an entertainment act where I can show what I can really do it would be great.

AM: When you signed with Casablanca did you have any clue that it would grow into a myth?

PB: No...I had no idea. I had no idea what disco was. I was touring with Ann-Margret and had lots of stuff going on. As I came off the road they told me my song had hit the dance charts. I said, "What's a dance chart?" The next thing I knew I was singing at 'Studio One' and 'Back Lot' and from then on it was crazy.

(At this point Rick Gianatos walks in.)

AM: Rick, tell me about 'It's All About The Music.'

RG: There is a long history to the making of the track. It feels kind of special. At first I thought I would cut several tracks with Pattie and then make a decision about what the next single would be. My gut said this was the one. I let Paul Goodyear pick and he went right to this song. A lot of DJ's liked this song.

AM: You don't normally make videos for your songs do you?

RG: This is the first concept video that I've done. I have done documentary style with my 'Dreamgirls' project. This song just lends itself to a video showing people doing things to music. It's a happy song. It has an old school kind of lyric.

AM: It could be a commercial for an i-pod.

PB: I'm telling you!

RG: It could work for i-tunes and downloading. The video is tongue in cheek with comic elements. Hopefully we will go viral. We might sell a download or two. The CD will be a collectable.

AM: That's the way to go now. This is the center song of a full album right?

RG: Yes we have a song with Kim Yarbrough and Charlo Crossley Fortier, who was formally a Harlette. We have another duet that will be with Cynthia Manley which takes a sad turn because it's my favorite song by Teena Marie, 'Behind The Groove.'

AM: Pattie you sang a lot of background for Teena didn't you?

PB: Yes I sure did.

RG: We talked about this all before she passed. This was not a tribute. Pattie's daughter was going to ask Teena to come in and do some licks. It's a party, happy song.

PB: I'll have fun with it. Teena WILL be in there with us.

RG: These ladies didn't even meet until the photo shoot but they acted like they'd already done the recordings. They're ready to record now.

AM: It won't be long will it?

PB: I think it was just the right time to get all of us together to enjoy one another and the talents of each other. It was just the best time. When we do get in the studio we are gonna really rock!

AM: I love how you've lost no passion.

PB: Not at all! I'm like a kid again.
