ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ก.ย. 2024
- This is the very last interview with legendary Gary Usher, recorded in early 1990. Also featured here are Art Fein, Domenic Priore and Mark Deaver. The 30 minutes show was planned to be a Surf & Hot Rod Bonanza but soon turned into an interesting Byrds discussion. The Part 2 program with Gary Usher mentioned never materilized.
Sadly, Gary was far from well at the time and died of lungcancer on May 25 1990. He will always be missed. A great guy!

Incredible insight on Dad..
Thanks for letting us know that you seen it. It warms my heart.
Any time.. Dad had a gift..just thankful others like yourself have an appreciation for his work..thank you..!!
I’ve been listening to your Dad’s work for years. He was brilliant.
@@edwardmulholland7912 I can't thank you enough for your positive response.. means the world.. thank you
He was absolutely amazing, I'm a huge fan of all his work, Beach Boys, Byrds, Sagittarius, Sanctuary. If his name is on it, I'll buy it because it *will* be awesome. One of the all time greats
Wow ! This must be one of the most unique things on TH-cam. An American music legend of the highest magnitude. Wish it had been 3 hours instead of 30 minutes. Forget Phil Spector - Gary Usher is the KING producer !!!
Dad would be horned...
Thanks for this great Gary Usher interview - the Byrds records he did were fantastic.
Thanks for the nice comment!
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Gary Usher. Roger Christian. Guy Hemric. Unsung heroes.
Totally agree!
Absolutely awesome interview. He was one of a kind. His music was the best of the best.
Thank you, I like learning history that puts a smile on my face.
Notice when Gary tells his story, he is smiling from time to time. Makes me smile too. So sad he passed to early.
Thank you for posting this.
a superb producer. greatly missed. RIP
Thank much for posting. From a Byrds fan. And the Beach Boys ain't bad!
This is amazing, both so rare and interesting and I love listening to Gary´s stories from his musical life! Thanks for posting!!!
I wish this had actually featured Gary Usher as he was the talented one with the direct involvement in some of the most iconic music in rock'n'roll history! And he seems to have been incredibly gracious and down to earth.
What do you mean by "I wish this had....."
Gary never got is flowers. Maybe one day. Genius
Thank you so much for posting this incredible video. This is treasure ! I have so much respect for Gary Usher and the amazing work he did. His songs with Brian Wilson will and have stayed with me all my life. Remember hearing them in the early '60's. It is wonderful that Dehmian Usher has posted here. This has made my day. Thank you so very much. Great music such as Gary's will live on forever.
Hi! Thank you so much for your kind words. I can only agree! Please spread Gary´s mission!
@@youngerthanyesterday3983 Will do my friend. Take care and be well. Thank you again.👍🙏
This is so cool. I so wish they had time to talk about that amazing Sagittarius album.
Fantastic to see this and some fascinating insight from the legendary Gary Usher, especially with the revelation that he and Brian Wilson sung falsetto on Deadman's Curve. Never knew that. Such a shame that he passed away so many years ago (he didn't look terribly well on here). The mastermind behind so much incredible music, a lot of which has been passed over for years. One question, though: why end with The Surfaris' version of Hot Rod High (although Gary produced it) and not The Super Stocks/Hondells version?
Thanks for your nice comments. Your question about the music in the end only Art Fein can answer..
I wish they would've stayed on the topic of Sagittarius for longer! I absolutely love Present Tense and Blue Marble, as well as Usher's Beyond a Shadow of Doubt. Really wish I could find interviews about that music.
Yeah, really classic stuff. Someday people will discover these gems. Gary Usher was an extremely talented guy.
This is so great. I'll have to check out your others concerning the Byrds later, but I love hearing about The Beach Boys and Hondells and other surf/hot rod music he was involved with. The stuff concerning AIP soundtracks that Mr. Usher worked on is really cool to learn about. Thanks for doing that interview with Gary and sharing it!
Great. There are 3 Gary Usher Surf & Hot Rod Specials on TH-cam too !!
Amazing to find out what went on behind the scenes and learn about the real shakers ...
What a cool guy 🫡
so happy to find this on youtube- someone please write a biography of this absolute legend !
Check out The California Sound by Stephen J. McFarland. Great biography of Gary Usher.
One of my favorite albums is The Notorious Byrd Brothers produced by Gary Usher and I think he made a difference. The quality of sound and the arrangements were superb. I wish he could have produced all subsequent Byrds albums which were uneven in their quality, in spite of the excellence of the musicians.
Lovely.
wonderful
Perhaps Brian Wilson will hear and see Gary tell the story about 409 etc. Maybe he will comment here..?
I sure hope so. Thank you for this video my friend.
One helluvan artist, producer, songwriter, and L.A. scenester. Shame that he died young.
Gary and the Nyrds.
Cool to hear from these people at this time. Except the host, he seems a bit of an a-hole to me at Dominic.
the hondells vest is awful!
"It you don't have something nice to say, don't say it." Old Tarzan speech.
@@youngerthanyesterday3983 well said! don't be too serious !(cheeta speech)
That vest is awesome
I love the vest, I’m sure a lot of people do!
Thank you for posting this.
