A huge influence on my generation, Bob Dorough, the creator of 'Schoolhouse Rock' passes away

So which Schoolhouse Rock was your fav? I enjoyed them all. My favorites include "I'm just a Bill", "The Shot Heard 'Round the World" and "3 is a magic number"

Bob Dorough, the creator of 'Schoolhouse Rock' passed away on Tuesday, April 24, 2018, at age 94.

Dorough wrote his first 'Schoolhouse Rock' tune in 1973 in response to a New York advertising executive asked Dorough to set the multiplication tables to music to assist the Executive's sons who had difficulty with multiplication.
