Michael_B Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 His cultural impact in the USA was enormous and I don't recall hearing his name, before. I'm grateful for his work, which was entertaining, educational and long-living. https://consequenceofsound.net/2018/04/r-i-p-bob-dorough-schoolhouse-rock-composer-has-died-at-94/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommy p Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Those were catchy, well-written songs. I grew up in the time that they were on and could probably remember over half of them today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Haynie Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I sang his songs growing up. They have popped up in my head many times over the decades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crunchee Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 RIP Bob. I remember seeing a short TV program about him and Schoolhouse Rock a few years back, I think it might have been on CBS Sunday Morning or on PBS. It took real talent to write those songs! Not only were they a part of my childhood, but they were well written and catchy as hell, I might not remember all the words but I remember the tunes for sure! He worked with Miles Davis way back when too, from what I just found out from his Wikipedia profile: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Dorough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biz Prof Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 How many of you here memorized the Preamble by learning the Schoolhouse Rock song? I sure did. The man was a genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
