Michael Brown (rock musician)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Michael Judas Brown (born Michael Lookofsky in New York, April 25, 1949), son of violinist and arranger Harry Lookofsky, was a gifted American singer-songwriter.
Brown has been the prime mover and leader in bands such as The Left Banke, Stories, The Beckies and Montage.
His biggest song as a composer is the Left Banke's 1966 version of "Walk Away Renee."
Many comparisons have been made between Brown and The Beach Boys' Brian Wilson based on both their musical talents and their desire not to tour, but rather stay in the studio writing and composing music.
