Tim Gorman

Tim Gorman's remarkable career began in the Pacific Northwest as a session musician at Recording Associates in Portland and Kaye-Smith Studios in Seattle. At Kaye-Smith he worked with producer/engineers Jim Gaines, Buzz Richmond and the legendary R&B producer songwriter Thom Bell. While there, Tim recorded sessions on The Spinners "8" for Atlantic Records, and accompanied Elton John on "The Thom Bell Sessions" for MCA Records. Tim also collaborated with songwriter Bill Lamb, who introduced Tim to iconic British producer Glyn Johns.

Tim was awarded a recording contract in 1979 with A&M Records through Glyn Johns and his partner, entertainment attorney Eric Kronfeld. Dubbing themselves "Lazy Racer," he and a select group of musicians released the self-titled album "Lazy Racer" and the 1980 follow up "Lazy Racer- Formula 2." The albums were well received by music critics in both the U.K. and the U.S. This break catapulted Tim's career into the heart of the rock music industry where he would go on to make significant contributions in both recording and live performance.

While working for Glyn Johns' production company "Turn Up Down Music," Tim worked with legendary artists The Rolling Stones, The Who, Elton John, John Entwistle, Dusty Springfield, as well as Local Boys, Tim Renwick, Diane Tell, and producer David MacKay.

In 1978 Tim performed piano, synthesizer, and Hammond B3 organ on the Rolling Stones tracks "Emotional Rescue" and "Tattoo You."
