Back in 1982 the song "867-5309/Jenny" was on top of the Billboard charts and became a radio classic with its catchy chorus and yearning lyrics. Performed by Tommy Tutone, it brought fifteen minutes of fame to songwriter Jim Keller. But now, after years of managing composer Philip Glass, Keller is back on the music scene. Today, he's coming out with a new album, "Soul Candy" — the second in only a few years.
