Famed musician David Byrne is still riding the success of a career he once thought would be impossible to achieve.
The group rose to fame in the 1970s in New York City's East Village and soon caught the attention of a young Anderson Cooper, who described the band as the soundtrack to his teenage years. The 60 Minutes correspondent profiled David Byrne for Sunday's episode where the Talking Heads front man revealed the stories behind some of the band's biggest hits including"Psycho Killer," which Byrne said was only the second song he'd ever written.
Byrne recalled the song"Once in a Lifetime," a collaboration with Brian Eno, was one of the band's most played music videos on MTV. "This is a record where we improvised a lot of the music," Byrne told 60 Minutes."And then I would kind of improvise vocalese, vocal nonsense syllables over the recorded music and go, 'Okay. Now I got to find words to this."
