Title: Malibu Sunset etc
Post by: Smilin Ed H on May 12, 2009, 03:44:17 PM
Written by BW and Usher or - as Brad says - Roger Christian?

The boot has Glen Campbell singing, doesn't it?

Finally - and unconnected - I know Italia was written by Al but was it produced by BW?

Thanks.

Yup. No idea why he wasn't credited, though.

Thanks, Andrew.  Was it a co-production?

Malibu Sunset? What's that?

And are you talking about "Italia" from Murry's album? I thought he would've produced it....

BW track from the early 60s - he wrote it for Andy Williams, allegedly.

"BW track from the early 60s - he wrote it for Andy Williams, allegedly."

So it was written and produced by BW, despite Christian's reference to the BMI source?
Now I'm confused.

Story as I first heard it - years ago, from one Brad "Send Me The Money First" Elliott - is that Brian demoed the song for Williams in '63 (I think) but in transit it got lost, and the demo was the only copy.
