Almer, Tandyn


Composer/pianist/producer/MENSA member Tandyn Almer first emerged in pop culture consciousness as the writer of the 1966 smash single by the Association, "Along Comes Mary."

Consequently, Bernstein chose Almer as an interview subject for his groundbreaking CBS News documentary Inside Pop: The Rock Revolution, which aired on Tuesday, April 25th, 1967.
