Lalo Schifrin, film composer. At one time it seemed every blockbuster released had music written by him.
Just going back to Brian Wilson, as someone born in the 60’s, most of their early records were before my time.
I got a sharp cassette radio player in the mid 70’s and bought 4 cassettes. One of these was the Beach Boys 20 Golden Greats
I kind of followed them retrospectively
I loved their last album, that’s why God Made the radio
The last song on it, and the last ever Beach Boys song was Summer’s Gone. Seemingly Brian had held this back over the years to be the last Beach Boys song, just classic Beach Boys. Any idea when it was written?
I read Springsteen beautiful tribute to Brian/Beach Boys last week
“ Brian Wilson was the most musically inventive voice in all of pop, with an otherworldly ear for harmony. He was also the visionary leader of America’s greatest band, The Beach Boys. If there’d been no Beach Boys, there would have been no “Racing In The Street
Listen to “Summer’s Gone” from The Beach Boys’ last album “That’s Why God Made The Radio” and weep. Farewell, Maestro. Nothing but love and a lovely lasting debt from all of us over here on E Street.”
