Michael Melvoin (May 10, 1937- Feb 22, 2012)

I was deeply saddened to hear about the death of Mike Melvoin last week. I have lost a friend and a long time musical partner.

I first met Mike when he was part of the Wrecking Crew and we were working on the first Partridge Family album. More recently Mike wrote the score for the movie ‘The David Cassidy Story’ and he was a co-producer on ‘A Touch of Blue’.

Mike was a very gifted musician. His musical legacy lives on in his recordings, writing and in his talented daughters Wendy and Susannah.

My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.
