Am I the first to report the death of Andrew Gold.
LONELY BOY & THANK YOU FOR BEING A FRIEND.
The 2nd of course made more popular when used
as theme from GOLDEN GIRLS.
(IMO the far better of the two songs)
 
I also remember him being the band leader/guitar/piano for Linda Rondstat's road band; along with Michael Botts, and Waddy Watell. I saw them at the Greenville Memorial Auditorium in '76. He opened for her with a short set of his stuff, before she came out...sorta double-duty for he and his band. Note: this was back when she was "HAWTT", and men actually wanted to nail her. Not true today!

Andrew Gold, Singer and Songwriter, Dies at 59

Andrew Gold, a pop wunderkind who had barely finished high school when Linda Ronstadt enlisted him to play in her backup band, and who later had a successful recording career of his own with hits like “Lonely Boy” and “Thank You for Being a Friend,” died on Friday at his home in Encino, Calif. He was 59.
