Just looking through my favorites and found this you tube of Simon Cowell's first TV appearance on "Sale of the Century"
Dailymotion Blogged Video
He was a record company director then.
This is a nice little story about Simon being interviewed by Oprah Winfrey who donated $62,000 to the parents of a little 3yr old girl so they could pay off their mortgage.
