| Nelson
Riddle worked with numerous great singers and musicians in his
long career. Nat "King" Cole, Judy Garland, Frank Sinatra, Tommy
Dorsey, and Ella Fitzgerald all benefited from their association
with the multi-talented Nelson. He was equally adept at composing,
arranging, playing the trombone, or leading big bands. He eventually
turned his aptitude towards making music for film and television.
Nelson is best known to younger generations for his well-received
collaboration with singer Linda Ronstadt of songs from the 20's
and 30's. |
