The musician was perhaps best known for his work on Brian Wilson's 1988 comeback LP and on the soundtrack to Warren Beatty's big-screen 'Dick Tracy.'
Andy Paley, a prolific musician and producer who worked on records by Brian Wilson, Madonna, Jonathan Richman and Jerry Lee Lewis and who wrote music for popular animated series “The Ren & Stimpy Show” and “SpongeBob SquarePants,” died Wednesday in hospice care in Colchester, Vt. He was 72. His death was announced by a representative, Bob Merlis, who said the cause was cancer.
“I never got a diploma and maybe I didn’t pay attention in some of the classes, but I definitely paid attention to Darlene Love, and I paid attention to Brian Wilson,” Paley said in 1990. “That’s what I really cared about.” Andy and Jonathan Paley formed the Paley Brothers in 1976; the band opened shows for both Shaun Cassidy and Patti Smith and cut a single for Sire with producer Jimmy Iovine.
