[edit] Working with Linda Ronstadt
I think there should be a citation concerning Linda's comments about working with Riddle. Where did those quotes come from?
..To the talk session person above: I DID NOT WRITE THOSE WORDS, but I have my own story... the son of Nelson Riddle, who I met my chance years ago in Florida, after his father's passing, told me that Miss Ronstadt revived his father's career, and he was deeply grateful to her. I am a contributor here, and I never try to lie or demean anyone. It was a chance meeting where I heard it from a family member. Thanks for letting me share. I think the whole story speaks for itself. I am a great fan of Miss Ronstadt, and I am grateful to her for turning me on to the great standards. I think Linda would tell you the same and it would be a mutual agreement, from what I have read of her observations of these great recordings. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.211.6.167 (talk) 03:33, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Film & TV Work
I thought Jerry Goldsmith wrote the theme for Man from U.N.C.L.E. ? US 71 02:25, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
- Billboard's site[1] lists Riddle as having done some orchestration for that series. However, UNCLE sites list a number of composers who did that (and not Riddle, in the ones I saw). Goldsmith certainly wrote the title theme. Similar situation with the tv series Batman. Riddle did not write the theme music, but did work on the series - and put out an LP.
