@onehitwondered.bsky.social#2HitTuesdays Formed in LA by Phil Stewart & Ernie Bringas, The Rip Chords got a big boost when Columbia Records’ young A&R man/ producer Terry Melcher (Doris Day’s son) signed ‘em. Melcher produced their 1st single, 1962’s “Here I Stand.” #TheRipChords #TerryMelcher #OneHitWondered #MusicSky
@onehitwondered.bsky.social#2HitTuesdays Before Terry Melcher produced The Byrds or Bruce Johnston joined The Beach Boys, they were the studio masterminds behind The Rip Chords…one of the coolest (and most misunderstood) acts of the ‘60s hot rod/surf explosion. #TheRipChords #TerryMelcher #BruceJohnston #OneHitWondered
