Product Information

Schwartz ( Drums & Percussion) Ed Jarusinsky ( Drums & Percussion)Roger Bruno (Percussion)Lonnie Leibowitz ( Keyboards) Friedman's single " McDonald's Girl" was officially banned by the BBC because the chorus mentioned the name of the fast food restaurant. [13] In 2011, thirty years after the song was banned by the BBC, the McDonald's Corporation licensed "McDonald's Girl" for a national TV/Radio campaign, which aired in the US, featuring a vocal performance of the song by The Blenders. In 1985, Friedman produced a seminal work on the newly emerging synthesizer industry called Complete Guide to Synthesizers, Sequencers, and Drum Machines. Whilst dated, this tome published by New York Amsco is still of use in evaluating devices that crop up on the second-hand market. Friedman also set up the New York School of Synthesis and provided a series of videos entitled Intro to Synthesis. Friedman presents the rudiments of this topic in an audio-visual format, whilst incorporating a unique sense of humor.

He copied this tactic again in 2005 with the album Squirrels in the Attic and once more, in 2017, with 12 Songs. Friedman also provided vocals for a series of television commercials in the 1970s in the New York City metro area. However, while he did re-record and perform one version for an employee event, Friedman is falsely credited with creating and singing on the jingle for electronics chain Crazy Eddie's "When you think you're ready, come down to Crazy Eddie", which was actually created, performed, produced and recorded in its various versions (doo-wop, disco and other versions) by Larry Weiss (Crazy Eddie's VP Advertising) along with Jeff Gottschalk and John Russo.His sister, Racelle Rosett Schaefer, is a noted television writer who was executive producer of the show Blossom, starring Mayim Bialik.
