Producer Shel Talmy passed away November 13 at the age of 87. He had recently suffered a stroke.
Best known for his production work with the Kinks and the Who, Shel also lent his production touch to recordings by the Small Faces. He also produced David Jones who would later achieve fame as David Bowie.
The Easybeats "Friday On My Mind" and Chad & Jeremy's "A Summer Song" are other tunes produced by Shel.
Shel Talmy, in a posthumously released statement:
“Hi to all, and many thanks to all of you who have been reading my rock stories for all this time, it has been greatly appreciated!” he wrote. “Please note, that if you're reading this now, this is my final vignette, as I am no longer residing on this plane of existence, and have ‘moved on’, to wherever that may be.
I’ve had a good run, and I am delighted it lasted as long as it did. I’m also delighted that I am told I have a legacy that will last even longer
“I’d like to think there is something beyond where I was to where I am now, assuming that the millions of suppositions as to what is next, are accurate. I’d like to think that I'm thoroughly enjoying my new ‘residence,’ and that the countless rumours that there is a big working ‘studio in the sky’ are true, and that we are, dare I say, making heavenly music!
“I am also hoping that I am currently engaged in renewing relationships with a ton of friends and acquaintances, many of which go back for decades.
“I’ve had a good run, and I am delighted it lasted as long as it did. I’m also delighted that I am told I have a legacy that will last even longer. I look forward to meeting some of you in the future who are reading this, but LOL, don’t hurry to get here, I’m not going anywhere!”
