As a Philadelphian born in Upper Darby in 1948, Todd Rundgren grew up with classical music and Gilbert and Sullivan. From an early age, he played diverse musical instruments, and he deftly mixed sounds. He developed the first color graphics on a laptop computer in 1980, and he created the first interactive television broadcast. He experimented with quadrophonic technology, progressive rock and Eastern religions, searching for meaning. He was both a recording artist and a producer who invented audio technology and produced and synthesized Grand Funk Railroad's
We're an American Band
album as well as music by Bad Finger, Meat Loaf and David Bowie.
''
Rundgren produced Janis Joplin's
Pearl
album, released after her fatal heroin overdose from incomplete recording session tapes. In 1970, Todd Rundgren, in a warm-up band for David Bowie, achieved a No. 20 Top Hit, We Gotta Get You a Woman. In 1972, his closest friend from Philadelphia introduced him to cannabis, and he experimented with psychedelic drugs. Ritalin helped him write I Saw the Light in 20 minutes. He experimented with the synthesizer in every effect and technique to produce what fans saw as the dynamics of a psychedelic trip reflected in music.
