Mike Melvoin Dead: Acclaimed Session Musician Dies of Cancer at 74

According to the Los Angeles Times, Melvoin was a "first-call pianist" in Los Angeles since the early '60s. During his lengthy career, Melvoin toured internationally and released several albums with his own ensembles.
Melvoin was the first active musician to become national president of the Recording Academy
He performed on several notable recordings including the Jackson 5's 'ABC,' Helen Reddy's 'I Am Woman,' John Lennon's 'Stand by Me,' as well as the Beach Boys' 'Pet Sounds' and 'Good Vibrations.' His website also notes work with Peggy Lee, Tony Bennett, Barbra Streisand and Tom Waits.
"Studio guys get sold short," he said in a 2004 Boston Herald interview. "There's an innate distrust that people have that if you do one thing, somehow that's the authentic article, and if you do more than one thing, somehow it's not. The truth is the great studio players are the authentic article in everything they do."
Melvoin is survived by twin daughters Wendy and Susannah, a brother, four grandchildren and his companion, actress Theresa Russell. His son Jonathan, a former member of Smashing Pumpkins died of a heroin overdose in 1996. Funeral arrangements have yet to be announced.

February 24 2012 at 11:20 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyExactly. Some of his best work was on those albums. In addition to his piano playing, which he shared with Larry Knechtel, Melvoin's horn and string arrangements were absolutely phenomenal for the quality bubblegum pop music being churned out at ABC/Bell. I'm a guy in my early 30s now and have been a fan of the PF music since i was 17. And never did I have any guilt for liking the music. =)
