Born 4 August 1915, Chicago, Illinois, Died 31 March 1979, Canoga Park, California. One of the masterminds behind that mix of music and sound effects in 1960s commercials that's since embedded itself deep in our subconscious. Henke got his start as a pianist, working in small combos in clubs. He worked in radio and television after World War II. In 1955, he joined the television department at Disney, where he composed most of their commercials and for a few television series. Unlike many musicians who dismissed commercial work as hack work, Henke took to the format immediately, and he was...

Singer Robin McAuley (previously with Grand Prix) joined MSG for the album ''Perfect timing'' (1987) and stayed with them until the 1991 album ''MSG''. Surprisingly Schenker changed the band name from Michael Schenker Group to McAuley Schenker Group, proving that McAuley had a strong saying in the band. The sound of the band moved to more melodic hard rock from the edgier approach of the first MSG albums and actually this way they managed to deliver their finest works. ''Save yourself'' (1989) and ''MSG'' are regarded as Schenker's highlights with MSG, especially among melodic hard rock fans. With ''MSG'' they...
