Van Dyke Parks is a composer, arranger, musician, and producer from Hattiesburg, Mississippi, known for his experimental art pop output. A long a fruitful career, starting in 1953, has seen Parks releasing eight studio albums to date, one live album, and three compilations; but also writing film scores and even acting himself. Another interesting and particularly impressive episode of Parks' career is writing for The Beach Boys between 1967 and 1973, leading to several collaborative projects with Brian Wilson; Parks also co-wrote Ringo Starr's 2009 album 'Walk With You', and has played with the Mothers of Invention. Here's a picture of Parks and Wilson: ![beachboyslegacy.com on Twitter: "Brian Wilson and Van Dyke Parks on a day like this in 1967, at a Smile recording session for Heroes And Villains… "](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DXJGC_JW0AEyiN6.jpg "beachboyslegacy.com on Twitter: "Brian Wilson and Van Dyke Parks on a day like this in 1967, at a Smile recording session for Heroes And Villains… "") Listen to Van Dyke Parks' 'Discover America' album from 1972: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kaA4Eb0I-tbW7yZEQzZBTgIabouN-QubI" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kaA4Eb0I-tbW7yZEQzZBTgIabouN-QubI Other useful links: Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Dyke_Parks" rel="nofollow - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Dyke_Parks YT: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuwVg7CEliQfcqUmpBbyQRw/featured" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuwVg7CEliQfcqUmpBbyQRw/featured Spotify: http://open.spotify.com/artist/3M8NUieZuEOMs0Hf210w4n" rel="nofollow - http://open.spotify.com/artist/3M8NUieZuEOMs0Hf210w4n Discogs: http://www.discogs.com/artist/259398-Van-Dyke-Parks" rel="nofollow - http://www.discogs.com/artist/259398-Van-Dyke-Parks RYM: http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/van-dyke-parks" rel="nofollow - http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/van-dyke-parks

I'm a big fan of Parks but never find any progressive essence via his creation. Do not expect much though I'll alert Team.
Anyway, your "Discover America" YouTube link is dead. ------------- http://www.facebook.com/damoxt7942" rel="nofollow">

Nice! It sounds kinda like Klaatu, except more folk-ish. ------------- “On the day of my creation, I fell in love with education. And overcoming all frustration, a teacher I became.” — Ernest Vong |
