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!!!
Thanks, Rashied. I'm just about to launch my newsletter and I hope you'll subscribe. News and special stuff to subscribers to my Radio Richard podcast & videos.
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!
Thanks!! Yes, my father Tony Romano knew him, and always considered him his favorite arranger. It was a particular pleasure to do this show. Check out my book "The Invisible Artist" about arrangers in pop. I think you'll enjoy it.
Hey Richard, really informative programme. Robert Farnons orchestrations are SO GOOD. Just ordered cds of The Singers Unlimited- Sentimental Journal and Sinatra with RF Orchestra albums you recommended. 🙏❤️‼️👌
I'm glad to learn about Robert Farnon and really appreciate the interviews, old photos, etc., but Richard Niles...REALLY! We don't want to see your musicologist face big and bold during the video on Farnon. this is so typical of musicologists I have known. Your mini photo is plenty ol boy.
Although I did this interview and documentary over 20 years ago, it was for RADIO. So I have to create a visual. I also have to publicize my YT channel, to have a small chance of earning a few pennies from the 300+ videos on my channel. And I do mean pennies. You'll enjoy the other interviews if you just shut your eyes once in a while!
He was great, unquestionably, but I will maintain that there were others equally great: Andre Kostelsnetz, Morton Gould, Leroy Anderson, David Rose, Victor Young, Percy Faith, etc.

Robert Farnon was truly an artist. It's sad comparing music in the past compared to now. Was far more beautiful in the past
The opening harmonies are brilliant, just like the early 50's.
Another great programme thanks 👌
Secret Army and Colditz TV Themes are exceptional I grew up with them !
Absolutely wonderful Richard!
XXXXXXXXXX
Wow 😲‼️❤️

Way too chopped up. I never got to the interview.
It's a documentary AND an interview.
