Neil Brian Goldberg column

Neil Brian Goldberg is an accomplished musician, songwriter, arranger, producer, radio host, writer, and activist originally from Philadelphia.

In 1970, Neil wrote 32 songs for the TV show "Archie's Funhouse." These songs, such as Mr. Factory and One Big Family, are still enjoyed today. At the time, they were instrumental in shaping "message" songs for kids' TV, and influenced such shows as "Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids" and "The Bugaloos." Neil has also written songs for such notables as The Monkees, Tom Jones, Dusty Springfield, Richie Havens, and many others.

Later in his life, Neil owned a successful computer store in Santa Cruz, California. In the 1990's, he became the host on KSCO radio for a show called "In the Spirit," which had a large following. He has also been politically active in conservative causes — especially pro-life causes, for which he wrote the song called "Almost Born," about partial-birth abortion.

He is a devout follower of Jesus Christ, and a true patriot who loves America. He has written several songs that express his love for this country — "Remember America," "Born in America," "Freedom Bird Fly" — which can be heard and downloaded at his website www.RememberAmerica.net. At his website, you can also watch YouTube videos of his songs, along with videos of his Archies songs viewed at http://www.rememberamerica.net/archies.htm.

Remember America — "you are that freedom flame that burns in every heart." — NBG
