Title: Can anyone remember
Post by: vintagemusic on March 27, 2012, 04:45:13 PM
There was a songwriter, small time artist, Barry Somebody or other, he made a few records, he was a
protoge of Boyce and Hart, and hung out with that whole Beach Boy south bay crowd in the early and
mid sixties,

Does anybody remember this guys last name, I was trying to find him for something, I'm working on.
For the life of me, I can't remember his name. Except Barry.

He was married to a deceased relative of mine in the sixties, and I'd rather not say more. Except it
has to do with a historical family chronology

Bobby Hart was briefly in a twist band with someone called Barry Richards, and Boyce & Hart produced at least one single for him later on. Never heard of him hanging around with the Beach Boys though. Is that who you mean? He was still working with Hart as late as 1980, at least occasionally.

That;s it yeah! Oh thank you, Barry Richards, was married to a relative of mine in the 60's and I had a couple
friends who knew him or his songs.

When I say Beach Boys, uh yeah he or she, went way back to high school in the south bay area, so I think he
had some early, early connection, maybe he was raised in South Bay somewhere.
