Emitt Rhodes RIP

One Of the great songwriters of the era. “Mother Earth,” “Live,” “Time Will Show the Wiser,” “You’re a Very Lively Woman,” “Gonna Leave You Alone” “Pardon Me,” and “Holly Park” just to name a few of my favorites. An all around genius.
 
RIP Emitt...another indispensible California rock legend from Hawthorne, home of The Beach Boys,
David Marks, Johnny Maus, The McDonald Brothers (Redd Kross) etc. Here's a great (but faded) old clip
of Rhodes and his fab 60s group The Merry-Go-Round on The Dating Game:
