Andrew Gold was a brilliant musician maybe best known for his song "Thank You for Being a Friend" that was used for the TV show, The Golden Girls.
In the UK especially, his song "Never Let Her Slip Away" was a big hit:
But he did so much more. For example, he was one of the key musicians behind many of the classic albums of Linda Ronstadt and played just about every instrument in the studio recording of You're No Good. He also was part of the duo calling themselves Wax, that had a number of hits, mostly in the UK.
He had an amazing ability to take on just about any musical style, such as this musical nod to the Beatles Sgt. Pepper called "Rainbow People":
Sadly, he passed away unexpectedly in June 2011, a big loss to music. I never realized until reading his bio how much he played a part in so much of the music I grew up with and loved. It's nice to see his daughters carry on the musical tradition.
