KevB Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 I like the story that when Vincent Price agreed to be on the recording they didn't have his spoken part written. Rod wrote it by hand in the back of the car on the way to the studio and then Quincy Jones doorstepped VP on his way in and kept him talking whilst Rod rushed the bit of paper to a secretary to get typed up so it was ready on the stand looking a bit more professional.

lojo Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 I thought I knew RTs work well , but since his death there's tunes that have got played that I was not aware he had a hand in I hope any marketing of his work now he's been given more media attention (almost like northern soul did a few years back) means proceeds go to the correct places. He seem a nice guy and kept out of the limelight , have no clue to his business mind though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
