In a career which spanned half a century, he worked in these capacities for such artists as Frank Sinatra, Barbra Streisand, Sarah Vaughan, Stan Kenton, Ella Fitzgerald, Mel Tormé, Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, Linda Ronstadt, Stan Getz, Sammy Davis Jr, Michael Jackson, Art Pepper, and a hundred others.
However, his name is essentially unknown outside professional circles. He took little interest in self-promotion, never acquired a personal agent, happily saw his business affairs managed by his capable first wife, Huddy, and as soon as finances permitted decamped Los Angeles for a ranch in the Santa Ynez Valley north of Santa Barbara. There, he engaged his twin fantasies of riding horses and operating a private museum devoted to the saddles, books, rifles and guns of the American west. For a boy raised in urban Oakland California, this was a charmed leap.

I Hadn't Anyone Till You
Marty Paich Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was a lonely one 'til you,
I used to lie awake and wonder if there could be
A someone in the wide world just made for me,
Now I see
I had to save my love for you, (I saved my love for you)
I never gave my love 'til you, (I saved it all for you)
Cupid took a hand in it,
I hadn't anyone till you.
I kept my love in secrecy,
I put it under lock and key,
I had to save my love for you!
I never gave my love away,
I waited for that lucky day
When I could give it to you
And through my lonely heart demanding it,
Cupid took a hand in it,
I hadn't anyone till you.

I never heard Marty Paich play like this until now. Thanks. He can really play. I always thought of him as more of an arranger/ music director/producer type.
