In 1972, David Seville died on this day in Beverly Hills, California. Born Ross Bagdasarian, the musician was the force — and artist — behind the Alvin and the Chipmunks novelty songs of the '50s, '60s and '70s. Some may remember that Seville appeared in the films, “Viva Zapata”, “Stalag 17” and “Rear Window”. Seville first claimed fame, not through the novelty impact of the hit, “The Chipmunk Song” (it sold 3.5 million copies in five weeks); but by writing Rosemary Clooneyʹs biggest hit, “Come On-a My House”, in the early '50s and the number one hit, “Witch Doctor”, in 1958. Ross was a singer under the stage name of David Seville, a songwriter and a producer for Liberty Records in the 50's and the creator of The Chipmunks when he experimented with variable speed tape recorders. Ross named the Chipmunks after the three record executives at Liberty who didnʹt want him to release The Chipmunkʹs first hit.
