Come Along for the Ride: From Finance to Gershwin

By Harvey Granat

It took me 50 years to achieve my original dream.and not without some bumps along the road. I believed, as did many others, that I could have been a very successful entertainer. A visit with Vic Damone convinced me that I would have to give up a normal family life to achieve that success. So, I built a series of businesses and threw myself into philanthropy, while limiting my performing to friends and family. And then the opportunity finally presented itself and there was no stopping me. Without an agent, I promoted myself to some of the leading entertainment venues in the country, developed a following and am now living my dream. The one constant, throughout, has been my dedication to my family and the difference that, I hope, I have made in their lives. But what a trip....producing Sammy Cahn on Broadway, headlining at Lincoln Center and Michael Feinstein's Club, friendships with Cary Grant, the families of George Gershwin, Oscar Hammerstein, Marvin Hamlisch, Leonard Bernstein, and a host of show business greats. And, I can't forget what happened with Madoff and Harvey Weinstein. So, come along for the ride while I tell my story.
