RIP Richard Podolor

Longtime record producer Richard Podolor died March 9. He was 86.

Though, in his long career, he produced gold records for hitmaking bands like Three Dog Night, Iron Butterfly and Steppenwolf, he also had a few clunkers in his stable. One was Davy Jones and the Dolphins (no connection to Davy Jones of The Monkees), a band you can hear in the movie in episode 209- HELLCATS, and which Podolor arranged and produced. (His name is misspelled “Podlor” in the credits.) The band and Podolor eventually went their separate ways.

Here’s a look back.

Thanks to Tim for the heads up.
