Tom Whitlock. You'd know his songs, not his name.

Came here to say this. Most people don’t know that two of the most recognizable songs from the 80s came from a guy who calls Springfield his home. I believe he used to be part owner in a studio downtown and also still has a home here on the east outskirts of town.

I remember being told that a Daredevil had opened a studio downtown and my understanding was they were referring to Aardvark but I can't find corroboration online. This letter to the editor names the owner as a John Jacobsen

Wrote the lyrics to at least two smash hits from Top Gun alone, wild to find his name so far down the thread
