In 1967, singer, composer, and all-around American renaissance woman <a href="spotify:artist:5IFEFlCe7mLC0N8gByS6Yw">Anita Kerr</a> was operating out of Los Angeles. In addition to forming a new version of her vocal group <a href="spotify:artist:0vbEs3DgphJ2RGZqh4qFLT">the Anita Kerr Singers</a>, writing and recording jingles for radio and television, and working as the choral director for The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, she began a new collaboration with poet and songwriter <a href="spotify:artist:62JorFOkIjXHHU7GMT9r77">Rod McKuen</a> on an instrumental/spoken word LP called The Sea. With <a href="spotify:artist:62JorFOkIjXHHU7GMT9r77">McKuen</a>'s supple voice providing romantic meditations on the natural world and <a href="spotify:artist:5IFEFlCe7mLC0N8gByS6Yw">Kerr</a> acting as composer, arranger, and conductor to a studio orchestra that would be credited as the San Sebastian Strings, The Sea and its successors The Earth (1967) and The Sky (1968) were quintessential volumes in the late-'60s easy listening movement. Under <a href="spotify:artist:5IFEFlCe7mLC0N8gByS6Yw">Kerr</a>'s direction, the San Sebastian Strings would provide the musical landscape to <a href="spotify:artist:62JorFOkIjXHHU7GMT9r77">McKuen</a>'s musings on over a dozen more releases before the partnership ended in 1975. ~ Timothy Monger, Rovi
