==Early life and musical career==
Born in New York City, Michael Lloyd learned classical piano and guitar as a child. By the age of 13, he formed his own band in high school, at the same time as continuing to take lessons in music theory and composition. He also started writing songs and pitching them to record labels in Los Angeles, including Tower Records, a subsidiary of Capitol. According to Lloyd's own account, Eddie Ray, the head of A&R at Tower, suggested that the teenage Lloyd work with Mike Curb, and the pair began collaborating on songs and record production.〔( Michael Lloyd, Lifetime Achievement Award Recipient, interviewed by Michael Laskow, ''TAXI.com'' ). Retrieved 30 January 2015〕 Other sources suggest that Lloyd and Curb were introduced to each other by Kim Fowley, who had signed Lloyd to a song publishing deal. Lloyd also recorded surf music as a member of the New Dimensions, a group that included Jimmy Greenspoon, later of Three Dog Night.〔( Richie Unterberger, "The New Dimensions", ''Allmusic'' ).

Around 1964, Lloyd began performing with brothers Shaun and Danny Harris, who attended Hollywood Professional School with Lloyd. Together they formed a group initially called the Rogues, later renamed the Laughing Wind, and recorded demos with Fowley. He then introduced them to Bob Markley, a law graduate and aspiring performer who had already had his own TV show in Oklahoma. With Fowley's support and Markley's financial backing, Lloyd became a member of the West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band with the Harris brothers, Markley, and drummer John Ware, releasing an album, ''Part One'' in 1967. Fowley also released some of the Laughing Wind's demos, with other tracks featuring Markley, as ''Volume One'', credited to the West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band. Lloyd left the band shortly afterwards, but returned to contribute to their 1969 album, ''Where's My Daddy?''.〔( Tim Forster, "The Legend of: THE WEST COAST POP ART EXPERIMENTAL BAND", ''Ptolemaic Terrascope'' ).

In 1967, Lloyd wrote songs and produced Fowley's solo album ''Love Is Alive And Well: Sounds & Scenes of the Flower Love Generation'', with Fowley referring in the liner notes to Lloyd as an "..18 year old arranger and engineer who owns his own recording studio, plays 9 instruments and is lead singer and leader of The Laughing Wind, a Tower recording group." Curb allowed Lloyd to use the his Hollywood Boulevard Studios, and together with musicians Stan Ayeroff and Steve Baim (who were also members of Max Frost and the Troopers) Lloyd wrote and produced an album, The Smoke, which Curb released on his own Sidewalk label in 1967.〔( Smoke, biography by Bryan Thomas, Allmusic.com ). Retrieved 29 January 2015〕 Lloyd and Fowley co-produced the only album by Los Angeles psychedelic rock band, St. John Green, released in 1968, and the same year Lloyd arranged and produced the self-titled album by another band, October Country. Lloyd also provided the music for Steven Spielberg's first short film, ''Amblin''',〔( Michael Lloyd, Credits, ''Discogs.com'' ). Retrieved 30 January 2015〕 and worked with Curb on other movie soundtracks, including ''The Devil's 8'' (1969).〔
