My Grandfather, Enoch Light: An Appreciation By Jon Klages
For many music aficionados, the name
Enoch Light is synonymous with Bachelor Pad Music, innovative stereophonic recordings that featured bongos ping-ponging from speaker to speaker as a combo laid down exotic jazz-lounge sounds. Others know him as the producer of the early Free Design records which, decades after being lost in the mists of ’60s pop, are now recognized as some of the most influential vocal-group albums of the era. And some, while not familiar with Enoch Light’s music, see in their mind’s eye the bold graphics on the gatefold covers that contained LPs released by his Command Records and Project 3 labels, remembering them from their parents’ record collections, or from scavenging moldering bins at garage sales.
