Most famously, Parks wrote lyrics for
Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys on the
band’s lost record," "Smile," which he and
Wilson then finished in 2004.
Also, for all you straight-to-VHS Disney
fans, he composed several songs for The
Brave Little Toaster."

ESG
1978 must have been a weW
time to be pfaytmj music. Disco
was on the radio and in the bars,
punk was thudding around in
basements and underground
dubs,
I guess it’s not that surprising
that the members of ESG found
themselves stuck in-between
those two worlds.
ESG, the South Bronx band
- composed primarily otthe
Scroggins sisters, Maria, Renee
and Valerie - were innovators in
anew style erf music.
The beats were danceable
the bass thumped along, but
experimental guitars, stretched
of Chuck Berry and Ray Charles.
