Wolf & Epic were among the first record makers to break down the barriers between R&B, Hip-hop & Pop at the beginning of the 1990s. During this time, Wolf worked on projects for artists such as MC Lyte, Prince, Seal,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.discogs.com/Seal-Crazy/release/330575 )〕 New Kids on the Block, Nona Gaye,〔 Coolio, New Edition,〔 Sheena Easton, Laquan and Bell Biv Devoe. Bell Biv Devoe's début album ''Poison'' and remix album ''WBBD-Bootcity'' both featured Wolf's production, and were certified triple Platinum and Gold respectively. Acid Jazz was another new fusion of musical styles which Wolf & Epic helped pioneer with their work on the first Acid Jazz compilation ''The Rebirth of the Cool Vol.1'' (Island Records). In the twenty-first century Wolf's focus turned back to producing and composing for visual media. His score for the Warner Bros. cartoon ''Static Shock'' shook up Saturday morning programming with its fusion of hip-hop, electronic and traditional score, for which it was recognized with two Daytime Emmy nominations in 2003 and 2004 and one win.〔〔〔 (archived at allBusiness.com) 〕 His work continues to regularly appear in film and television, including ''NCIS'' and ''NCIS: Los Angeles'', and the longest running show on the CW, ''America's Next Top Model''. Wolf is also one of the busiest composers in the specialized arena of music for Televised sports, namely Fox Sports (United States).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://mixonline.com/sound4picture/film_tv/audio_composer_spotlight_richard/ )〕 He also currently works with a diversity of charities and is a board member of the I Have A Dream Foundation. ==Musician== Wolf, a Manhattan native, signed his first record deal, with Quinn Ivy Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, while still a freshman in college. It was at those sessions that he met Muscle Shoals guitar player Wayne Perkins, with whom he later co-wrote songs for the funky Southern rock band Crimson Tide. The group released two albums for Capitol Records in 1978 and 1979, which enjoyed limited success. Wolf then signed as a staff songwriter with Warner/Chappell Music. While there, he worked on various film and television projects, and artists including Steve Cropper, Angela Bofill, Johnny Gill and Toni Basil covered his songs.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Richard Wolf」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
