The millionaire of melodious melodies
Hutch, who always plays his own accompaniments, once put it on record : ' The song-composer's job is to interpret the ideas of the lyric-writer, while the singer's job is to interpret the work of both. I always try to " live a song, to interpret it according to my own individual reading of the composer's intentions -with the result that composers have sometimes told me, " You made my song sound a better song than I thought it was." '
He might have added, but was too modest, that another result is that he is one of the most popular of all entertainers
