paul secor Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 N.Y. Times obit: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/16/arts/music/jerry-ragovoy-songwriter-and-producer-is-dead-at-80.html?_r=1&scp=1&sq=jerry%20ragavoy%20obituary&st=cse Interesting tidbit in there about the Lorraine Ellison Warner Bros. session being done with a full orchestra because Sinatra cancelled a recording date. Thanks, Mr. Ragavoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul secor Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 (edited) Forgot to mention that a friend of mine used to have Howard Tate's version of Jerry Ragovoy's tune, "Ain't Nobody Home" as the intro on his answering machine tape.
