Cashman, Pistilli & West

Cashman, Pistilli & West has been played on NTS shows including The Uline Catalog w/ Calvin LeCompte, with Dolphins first played on 2 March 2018.

In 1966, Tommy West left the station (after graduating in 1963, West became a radio announcer and music director of WRLB-FM in Long Branch, New Jersey) and began work for ABC Records in New York, where he met Terry Cashman and Gene Pistilli, fledgling songwriters at the company. This trio, Cashman, Pistilli & West, began a writing and performing collaboration. In 1967, they recorded an album titled "Bound To Happen" and in 1968 they signed with Capitol Records and recorded an album titled "Cashman, Pistilli & West" produced by Nik Venet. Simultaneously, they recorded under the pseudonym The Buchanan Brothers. Under that name they recorded the hit single "Medicine Man." Also that year, they formed Interrobang Productions, Blendingwell Music, and Sister John Music, music publishing companies. They signed folk duo Jim and Ingrid Croce and secured a recording contract with Capitol Records in 1969, turning production duties over to Nik Venet for their album "Croce." The album was released, but was not well received. In 1969, Cashman, Pistilli and West were introduced to a talented young musician, Maury Muehleisen. Soon after they signed Muehleisen, Gene Pistilli left the partnership and became a founding member of The Manhattan Transfer, joining up with West’s lifelong hometown friend Tim Hauser and wife Patricia Rosalia. Cashman & West continued as a duo.
