About Emitt Rhodes
Artist Biography
Emitt Rhodes was a member of the L.A.-based 1960s pop group the Merry-Go-Round before going solo at the end of the decade. Much like Todd Rundgren, he then turned out an album on which he played, sang, and wrote everything himself. His McCartney-esque pop sound quickly earned him an audience, but ultimately Rhodes made only four records, the last being 1973's “Farewell to Paradise.” While his music continued to find admirers decades after he quit recording, he seldom ventured into the public eye again, and never returned to active album-making duty.
