The legendary Monti Rock III joined me for a chat! "Disco Tex"!

About this episode

Heidi Harris interviews the legendary Monti Rock III, discussing his life and career.

I had a chance in 2015 to speak with a legendary Mont Rock III. He was best known as the colorful DJ in Saturday night fever. He fronted a band called Disco Tex and the Sex O'Lettes during the 70s. He was a famous hairdresser, frequent guest on the Tonight Show, and as he put it in his own words, "Famous for Being Famous". I'm now sharing the interview because he passed away last week in Las Vegas. He was quite a character, in a town full of characters. And he was a huge fan of Donald Trump! Who knew? Here's a link to his most famous song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=4&v=FdkhViXqnSk&embeds_referring_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fduckduckgo.com%2F&themeRefresh=1
