Richard Eastis Reynolds was an American musician, songwriter, and trombonist[1] who was an arranger for the Four Freshmen.
[2] He also arranged for Frank Sinatra and authored "If I Ever Love Again", which Sinatra recorded in 1949.
[1] Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys said of Reynolds: "[He's] just about a god to me.
His work is the greatest, and the Freshmen's execution is too much.
"[3] Reynolds was later employed by Wilson for the recording of The Beach Boys' Christmas Album (1964) and Adult/Child (unreleased, 1977).
