During a recent interview with Pete Allman
of Celebrity Scene, Troy explained his early song
writing days in Hollywood, and how he first met hit
song writers/record producers, Bob Roberts, and Bob
and Dick Sherman, of Disney Studio fame.
• •
"At that time", says
Troy, "I was a recording artist with Art Rupe's
Specialty Records, and collaborating with my comedy
team partner, song writer, Tip Tobin, Sonny Bono,
and Dorothy Swafford in the production of my next
record album."
• •
" . . . The day I met
Bob Roberts was at a recording studio on Sunset
Boulevard, Hollywood, I was working with Sonny and
my arranger, trying to perfect a singing style with
my voice that would go along with the rock-a-billy
band, Sonny had hired to back me up. '
• •" . . .
Cancelling the record
session, we walked across the street to meet the
two Bob's, Bob Roberts and Bob Sherman at the
Sherman Publishing office, located on the 2nd or
3rd floor of the Sunset and Gower Building. "The
rest is history" said Troy, "Bob and Dick Sherman
explains as to what happen after that in their
book, "Walt's Time" . . . -- FULL
STORY CONTINUES ON PETE ALMAN'S CELEBRITY SCENE
