Buzzy Linhart(1943-2020)
- Actor
- Writer
- Composer
Singer-songwriter, Buzzy, is most famous for writing "Ya
Gotta Have Friends" for Bette Midler and the acid-folk classic "The
Love's Still Growing" for ex-girlfriend Carly Simon. Buzz's catalog of
visionary recordings for the Phillips and Buddah record labels in the
late sixties and early seventies, as well as a major release on
Atlantic in 1974 serve as a slice of his many contributions to modern
music. He also played vibraphone on the Jimi Hendrix song
"Drifting" and drums on a live jam-session with Hendrix, Noel Redding
and Al Kooper, which included "Like a Rolling Stone" at an uptown club
called "The Scene" in 1969.
