He produced everything from the Rascals to Bette Midler to the Bee Gees to Norah Jones.

Wow!  Andy Pratt, Scritti Politti & the South Park film soundtrack?  What an eclectic guy.

I'd forgotten he was involved with Scritti -- it says "3 tracks", I'll have to check when I get home tonight as to which 3. Dave could get a great 10@10 outta that list -- and I'm sad to say that Mardin's death has gotten very little coverage.

The excellent "Wood Beez (Pray Like Aretha Franklin)" is one of them, according to AMG, but if he was involved with "Perfect Way" they failed to mention it in the song-specific review.
