Happy Birthday Emitt Rhodes!

Cult hero Emitt Rhodes turns 62 today. Happy Birthday shout out to Emitt. If you dig Beatlesque Pop/Rock, then check out Emitt. Emitt grew up in Hawthorne, California where he attended school with Brian, Carl and Dennis Wilson. He want on to have chart success with the Merry-Go-Round and recorded as a solo artist after that group broke up.

Emitt has NEVER had record sales that were in any way commensurate with the quality of his records. Please feel free to check out his group and solo work on the Spotify and on the You Tubes and see if you don't agree that this is a sadly overlooked exquisite pop craftsman. In a fair and decent world, this guy would have a substantial body of work. Sadly, it's a spotty catalog with many years of inactivity. He is said to be working on a new record.
