On a YouTube search, I recently discovered someone had posted some of my father’s animated music videos from the 70’s and 80’s. He was definitely a pioneer in this field, having done many of these for the highly popular “Sonny and Cher” show in the early 70’s.

Additionally, he directed the first animated special ever aired on television, the ballet Petroushka, which was scored specifically for the special by Igor Stravinsky himself. Here’s my favorite of his music videos, Jim Croce’s “Bad, Bay Leroy Brown” sung by Sonny and Cher.
