"Ned Claflin, vocal arranger extraordinaire, was responsible for a lot of what was good on Rockin' & Romance and It's Time for.... He was in The Baltimores, that a cappela group I sing about and so loved when they existed. He lent his talents to the country record I made for Rounder (that's what I said: country record.) We did it in Springfield Missouri with Lou Whitney and D. Clinton Thompson producing. " -- Jonathan Richman
""Nobody Can Make Me Cry" is a song that Ned Claflin and John Curtis wrote with me about fifteen years ago. It has taken this long for me to learn how to record it. You'll notice there are no melodic chords in the beginning; that's because I finally realized the ones I had were no good. Once I got rid of them, the rest came easy." -- Livingston Taylor
And apparently Ned influenced The Bobs. Gotta ask him about that.
