Remembering Adam Schlesinger

On April 1, 2020 Adam Schlesinger passed away from complications due to COVID-19.

I had the unbelievably good fortune to know and work with Adam for 5 years, but my experience just represents a sliver of his unbelievable career.
His versatile talent and gift for songwriting allowed him to straddle multiple genres and musical eras. A successful songwriter for both TV and film, his credits range from the theme songs of your favorite shows to the soundtracks of your favorite films. Beyond the big screen, he took to the stage as a musician in the bands Fountains Of Wayne, Tinted Windows, Fever High, and Ivy. He truly did it all.

This tribute celebrates and emphasizes the magnitude of Schlesinger's work, through the lens of his many collaborators, including myself and:
