Richard Eastis Reynolds was an American musician, bandleader, songwriter, conductor and trombonist [1] who was an arranger for The Four Freshmen. [2]
He also arranged for Frank Sinatra and authored "If I Ever Love Again", which Sinatra recorded in 1949. [1]
Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys said of Reynolds: "[He's] just about a god to me. His work is the greatest, and the Freshmen's execution is too much." [3] Reynolds was later employed by Wilson for the recording of The Beach Boys' Christmas Album (1964) and Adult/Child (unreleased, 1977). [2]
