Shel Talmy, influential British rock producer, dies at 87

theguardian.com

Shel Talmy, a prominent music producer known for his work with the Kinks and the Who, has died at age 87. He passed away peacefully in his sleep due to complications from a stroke. Talmy was instrumental in shaping the sound of British rock in the 1960s, producing hits like "You Really Got Me" and "My Generation." He began his career in Los Angeles before moving to the UK, where he produced several influential tracks. After a successful run in the 1960s, Talmy became disillusioned with the music industry and largely stepped back from production work. He occasionally returned to the studio for select projects later in his life.
