One of my all time favourite songs of all artists

RIP Lyle! Your Genius is "Here To Stay"👏👏👏

And yet - she under acts. Controlled passion - the richest kind.

Came here from the the George Benson interview with Questlove on his lost release, "Dreams Do Come True". Wow, heard Robert Farnon's music many years and did know, or took notice that it was him. Thanks for sharing this vital information on him. Btw, met you a couple of times Richard at 2 seminars in LA. You are so awesome in the way you carry the flame of the Arrangers and their craft. Onward & Upward!!!

Struggling with putting into words the collaborative and creative process. I need to see the full videos. Here we go.

I had to leave the video because I couldn’t stand looking at those two masks

In my opinion it was a perfect combination of Persons.

It's awesome, how you really work so hard to produce really awesome music.

Skips a part

Fascinating

Sinatra. Always Sinatra. As it should be!!!

Brilliant song tremendous vocalist. I had his first album on repeat in 1989 and recently discovered his i think third album on streaming. What a talent! Why wasn’t he huge??

i wish you would have talked more about malcolm

Thank you for documenting this important piece of history. Philly Love 215 Peace!

Thank you Lyle

Fundamentally, don't have a brain?

Philadelphia International records was the real good "Disco"

Thank you for this splendid conversation. He sounds as humble as he is talented. Blue also co-wrote with Robin Gibb the gorgeous album "Sunrise" for soul vocalist Jimmy Ruffin.

Janice Joplin's voice double lol😂

She has an incredible voice

Looking forward to the book. And the video course.

My dear departed friend Mark Wirtz (one of the best producers/arrangers/artists, in my view) once told me that McCartney had mentioned his "Excerpt From a Teenage Opera" as having inspired The Beatles to expand their outlook as to what was possible in pop music. But. Paul had mentioned it as Keith West's "Excerpt...", and not as his record. I told Mark that WE knew where the credit belonged as regards that 'inspiration', that Paul was talking about HIM, whether he got the mention or not. Mark and I talked nearly every day for about two years, as he was driving from Atlanta to Tampa for his standup comedy gigs. What a privilege! I miss him SO much.

I came into a DJ copy of the first Babe Ruth album just before it was released up in Minneapolis. First listen made me a Shacklock fanatic. It doesn't surprise me at all to hear, just now, that he majored in Classical Guitar and Composition. Both are evident in his music. He could shred, sure, but ALWAYS with melody in mind. The sublime 'Amar Caballero' album (Babe Ruth's third release) is among the sweetest rock albums ever produced. Gorgeous! Whenever I see a poll of Greatest Rock Guitarists, I always add Alan. To my complete bafflement, I'm usually the only one in the comments to mention him. A shame, that he's so rarely recognized here in the US. This interview is a gift! I envy the interviewer.

My first Jazz Mentor!

wonderful interview

I think Dave Weckl composes some of the most creative tom tom fills, I always hated Steve Gadds tom tom fills, they would just repeat over and over. Dave Weckl is a slave to the music and I don't think anyone will be able to compose as much as him on the drums just because Dave has sacrificed his life to being the greatest drummer ever. People will usually have a automatic reaction when asked who the best drummer is and say Buddy, but I think it is largely subjective. I think Dave has more creativity with his rhythmic variations and seems to be more vast in his ever expanding drumming rhythm variation. Buddy would just play one style but dave can play numerous styles of music. I always wondered what would Buddy have done had he ever just played a solo that had groove and was not limited to constant thrashing and speed. I think the only drummer that can do more than Dave is a electronic drum machine.

LTMOD arrangement / orchestration changed my life... and got me to meet and work with the amazingly talented Richard Niles.

Absolute LEGEND

The strings in "I Want You Now" by Liza Minnelli are phenomenal.

"Getting Away With It" was HUGE!!! One of my favourite tracks ever, even my 10 yo daughter loves it, she sings it and requests it to be played quite a lot... and we love the strings at the end after the track fades out, she is entranced when she hears them.

Everything you do Mr Niles, is cool

I wish there was a documentary about Carpenters STUDIO work, like 'Beach Boys classic albums Pet Sounds' but the documentary should cover ALL of Carpenters studio eras, their evolving techniques, arrangements, and epic chorale applications. A docuemnmmtary with a disclaimer at the beginning ( the audio of this film is in Dobly Atmos. We strongly encourage headphones or an Atmos sound system) All the multitracking --- with Atmos? GTFO , that would be badass. There's genuine psychedelic stuff throughout early Carpenters, I think Richard may have dropped LSD or just possibly he was simply heavily influenced by musicians who have. That first album is SO trippy. As a fan of hardcore punk, Led Zepplin, White Stripes, and the Beach Boys - I finally made the connection with Carpertners music this year and I experience it so intensely - mentally and physically. They're like Mozart or Bach....I hear masters of music and can't get enough.....All of it, chill-inducing. It's SO SOPHISTICATED musically. Both of them were Masters of the studio and there's no information on this stuff. Every book and documentary is formulaic and not musically intellectual - or they're about eating disorders. What about the MUSIC?? Carpenters have been screwed over, they deserve the Beach Boys' treatment to bring their awareness to more people like me.

Rich, did you ever hear of Jim Gosa and the radio Jazz Chronicles he hosted?

Excellent show 🎉

Lyle was so gifted. What a blessing to have grown up listening to his music. RIP, Maestro.

He told me not to quit guitar after hearing me solo!

I didn't realize he was part of the way up, wow!! Thank you for posting.

Very interesting conversation. He is so intellegent and a wonderful artist so very gifted thank you barry manilow❤

Lauren is awesome! Thanks for the great interview!

SEE, THIS IS THE REASON WHY THERE NEEDS TO BE AN OFFICIAL HBO DOCUMENTARY ON THE PHILLY SOUND! THE LEGENDS OF THIS BEAUTIFUL SOUND ARE LEAVING THIS EARTH! GIVE THEM THEIR TRIBUTE NOW WHILE THEY ARE STILL HERE SO THEY CAN TELL THEIR STORY!

Thanks ever so much for sharing Richard! You Rock!

Any news on Leo's health battle

Thank you, Richard Niles, for this great program about my favorite arranger (together with Johnny Mandel), Robert Farnon! I enjoyed it very much, absolutely wonderful! Every arranger in the world learned a lot of this great musician!

Spotify top play list for 1947

The underlying music is unbearable. As much as I love Pat and his music I would like to listen to him without the "noise".

I love LOVE this! ❤️

Beautiful thanck 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I love voice Morten Prince A-ha ❤

Great interview

Also, did Tony Romano ever work with Danny Kaye? Sorry to bother you with this- it’s a long story, but I feel like there’s a connection between them and I don’t see that they ever worked together- but possibly they did so uncredited, or knew each other as friends? It’s been bugging me- thanks for your help! 🎼

He’s amazing, truly. Thank you for sharing this :)
