HAL WILLNER

record producer

“I remember the first record that I ever bought being the Beatles -- ‘Introducing the Beatles.’ I mean, at least that’s the first one that I ever went to the store and pointed at or whatever.

“But I also remember having ‘The Soupy Sales Show’ album and ‘Ittsy Bittsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini,’ but that one was a 45.

“Those are the three that ring in my head.”
