RIP Bob Johnston

Very sad to hear of legendary Columbia producer Bob Johnston's passing. He did some great work over the years.
From Rolling Stone's website:
"Bob Johnston, a staff producer at Columbia Records who worked on legendary LPs like Bob Dylan's Blonde on Blonde, Johnny Cash's At Folsom Prison and Simon & Garfunkel's Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme, passed away Friday at a Nashville hospice. He was 83.
A friend of Johnston's confirmed the producer's death to the Austin Chronicle, saying, "For several days before, swinging, swaying, and waving around his hands, telling stories out loud, entertaining and consuming all those that saw and heard him. Once he was confined to [a] bed and connected to machines, hospice only gave him a few days to live. He was on morphine to help any pain he was experiencing. Bob's wife told me he pass[ed] away peacefully. The grand master waved his magical wand for the last time, then disappeared off into the night."

Oh man, another one. I like his Cash productions and the Carl Perkins ones very much.

To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.

Been looking everywhere (in vain) for an audio/video of "To Be Alone With You", which kicks off with Dylan's immortal words to his producer, "Is it rolling, Bob?"...

Thanks, ORR. I can't see it myself ("this video is unavallable----sorry about that") but at least others can check it out now. :=)

You are welcome John!
The video is just a still image of the album cover. The "Is it rolling, Bob?" question from Dylan is on the released track of "To Be Alone With You" from Nashville Skyline.

I keep reading this as "Bruce Johnston" and my heart drops and then I quickly realize I'm not even on the main forum
