Ben Vaughn (born 1955 or 1956) is an American singer, songwriter, musician, record producer, composer for television and film, and a syndicated radio show host.
He also scored two films (Favorite Mopar and Wild Girl's Go-Go Rama), as well as appeared as a frequent guest commentator on nationally syndicated radio shows Fresh Air and World Cafe.
A guest appearance on KCRW's "Morning Becomes Eclectic" led directly to being hired as the composer for the hit TV sitcom 3rd Rock from the Sun.
He also provided scores for several films (Psycho Beach Party, The Independent, Scorpion Spring) and continued producing records (Ween, Los Straitjackets, Mark Olson of the Jayhawks, Nancy Sinatra, and the Swingers soundtrack CD).
Recorded entirely in his car in the driveway of his home in New Jersey, this album (and subsequent short film) is still considered by many to be a classic document of a man and his dream.
