Curt Boettcher - forgotten sunshine pop 60s gay music legend (The Millennium, The Association)

Curtis Roy Boettcher -- Producer of Along Comes Mary (The Association, written with fellow gay Tandyn Almer) -- He is a known colleague of Brian Wilson in the '60s and worked on disco records with The Beach Boys (Here Comes The Night). He had a wife and child but is long known to have been gay. He, later on, was a DJ for numerous discos and gay clubs. Worked at a gay bar serving drinks called The Hayloft in Studio City, CA in the latter 70's early 80s. He started in folk and ended up being one of the most innovative, psychedelic 'sunshine pop' producers. He is known as the king of Sunshine Pop. He collaborated with Gary Usher on a project known as Sagittarius in the mid to late 60s. Afterwards formed the group The Millennium, which it's album 'Begin' is one of the greatest 60s albums of all time.

Any Californian eldergays know anything fresh about him? He was known by many compared to other obscure gay music legends. Produced strange stuff towards the end of his career. He died of a lung infection and was HIV positive at the time of his death. A best friend of mine and I are obsessed with this talent, and we are hoping to bring more of his story to light, no matter how NSFW or debatable it gets.
