艺人介绍

by Jason AnkenyProducer and composer Curt Boettcher was among the principal architects of the sunshine pop sound of the mid-60s, his harmony laden, melody rich approach gracing the Top Ten hits of the Association as well as his own projects, including Sagittarius and the Millennium. Born and raised in Wisconsin, he began his career as a folksinger, co-founding the GoldeBriars in 1962; the groups self-titled debut album appeared on Epic two years later. Although the GoldeBriars complex harmonies anticipated the style of Boettchers subsequent work, the foursome dissolved after a second LP, Straight Ahead; he then turned to studio work, in 1966 arranging the Associations breakthrough hit Along Comes Mary. The chart-topping Cherish followed and Boettcher also produced the bands debut album And Then, Along Comes the Association; however, the collaboration soon ended and in between producing material for Tommy Roe, Boettcher turned his focus to his own group the Ballroom, recording a long-unreleased LP which finally saw release three decades later on Rev-Ola under the title Preparing for the Millennium. Boettcher then signed on with producer Gary Ushers studio supergroup Sagittarius; 1967s Present Tense also featured contributions from the Beach Boys Bruce Johnston and Glen Campbell, the latter assuming lead vocals on the classic My World Fell Down. While recording Present Tense, Boettcher formed the Millennium, which issued its sole album Begin — the product of what was then the most costly recording session in the history of Columbia Records — in 1968. After the records commercial failure, he returned to studio work, but in 1973 issued a solo album, Theres an Innocent Face. In the process of contributing production and session vocals to a handful of late-70s Beach Boys releases, Boettcher changed his name to the more phonetic Becher; he died in 1987.
