Gerald David "Lorenzo" Music (May 2, 1937 – August 4, 2001) was an American actor, composer, musician, performer, writer and producer.

[4][1] Music became a writer and a regular performer on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour from 1967 to 1969 and won an Emmy Award for writing.

[1] While casting Rhoda, the producers were looking for a voice actor to play the part of Carlton, the comically unseen doorman.

Compilation books and merchandising of the strip were topping best-seller lists, and Davis was negotiating to make an animated television special.

Producers needed someone to voice the main character in the strip: Garfield, a fat, lazy, sarcastic, and demanding cat.

Music also voiced characters for the animated series Pac-Man, Adventures of the Gummi Bears, Fluppy Dogs, The Real Ghostbusters, Pound Puppies, TaleSpin, and Darkwing Duck.

Music recalled that sometimes a caller would change his tone: "I am bankrupt, my wife ran off with another man... Hey, you sound just like that cat on TV!

"[8] Music's voice could be heard on Stan Freberg Presents the United States of America Volume Two album, released as a CD by Rhino Records.

Since Music's death, Frank Welker replaced him as the voice of Garfield in three fully-CGI films, an animated series, and the Nickelodeon crossover fighting video game All-Star Brawl.
