Shel Talmy

Sheldon Talmy (Chicago, 11 de agosto de 1937 – Los Angeles, 13 de novembro de 2024) foi um famoso produtor musical. Ele trabalhou com músicos como The Who, The Kinks e David Bowie.^[1]

Talmy mudou-se para Londres nos anos 60, retornando aos Estados Unidos em 1980. Passou grande parte desse período (entre o começo dos anos 70 e final dos anos 80) inativo, voltando a produzir somente em 1988 com o The Fuzztones.

Talmy morreu devido a complicações de um derrame em 13 de novembro de 2024, aos 87 anos. Sua morte foi anunciada por um representante no dia seguinte.^[2]
