My 80sography: Rob Mounsey (musician/arranger/producer) (Pt 1, 1980-83) (Steely Dan, Donald Fagen, Diana Ross, Simon & Garfunkel, Paul Simon, Billy Joel)

95 min • 6 december 2022


We end season 5 (cripes, we nearly up to season 6??) with a two-parter with massively talented musician/producer/songwriter/horn & string arranger, Rob Mounsey.

With the iconic likes of Diana Ross, Steely Dan and Karen Carpenter in his 80s CV as well as classic albums from the likes of Donald Fagen, Paul Simon and Billy Joel and his role as part of the band in the Simon & Garfunkel reunion at Central Park, Rob has many a tale to tell.
