Perry Botkin, Jr. is a name that opens up a big ol’ rabbit hole… one I’m not descending into today. I should mention that he & Barry De Vorzon wrote & arranged “Nadia’s Theme,” which gave the songwriting partners #OneHitWonder honors in 1976… #PerryBotkinJr #BarryDeVorzon #OneHitWondered
Robin (Jackie) Ward
With bird-and-surf sound effects added, Perry Botkin, Jr. thought the track sounded release-ready… and since the fast voice didn’t exactly scream ‘adult singer,’ Jackie Ward suggested putting her daughter’s first name, Robin, on the label. #JackieWard #PerryBotkinJr #OneHitWondered
