Gene Clark

The song "Gorgeous" from Kanye West's 2010 album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is based on elements of the Clark/McGuinn song "You Showed Me". Firebyrd's eventual release in 1984 coincided with the emergence of jangle rockers like R. In 1970 Clark began work on a new single recording two tracks with the original members of the Byrds (each recording his part separately).

Gene Clark is best remembered for being The Byrds' main songwriter between 1964 and early 1966. He created a large catalogue of music in several genres but failed to achieve solo commercial success. Harold Eugene "Gene" Clark (November 17 1944 – May 24 1991) was an American singer-songwriter and one of the founding members of the folk-rock group The Byrds.
