I've just heard of the death of singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, pop genius Andrew Gold. He died from an apparent heart attack at the age of 59.
I first became aware of Andrew from his work with Linda Ronstadt in the 70s. He later had several solo hits. His best known song, "Thank You for Being a Friend," was re-recorded and used as the theme song for the TV show, "The Golden Girls."
Gold was a vital part of the California rock sound in the 70s, having recorded with Ronstadt, Jackson Browne, Carly Simon, James Taylor, and many others.
