Timeline
Hal Willner (April 6, 1956 – April 7, 2020) was an American music producer working in recording, films, television, and live events.
He was best known for assembling tribute albums and events featuring a wide variety of artists and musical styles (jazz, classical, rock, Tin Pan Alley).
Willner died during the COVID-19 pandemic from complications brought on by the virus.
Willner was born in Philadelphia in 1956.
His father and uncle were Holocaust survivors.
In the late 1970s, Willner worked under record producer Joel Dorn, credited as associate producer on Leon Redbone's albums Double Time and Champagne Charlie, and The Neville Brothers' Fiyo on the Bayou.
Willner moved to New York City in 1974 to attend New York University, but did not graduate.
He released one album under his own name: Whoops, I'm an Indian, which featured audio samples from 78 rpm records from the early-mid 20th century.
Willner became the sketch music producer of Saturday Night Live in 1980, where he chose the music to be used in sketches for four decades.
With the increasing prevalence of tribute albums in the late 1980s (such as Red Hot + Blue), Willner decided to turn his attention to spoken word recordings.
From 1988 to 1990 he produced the TV program Sunday Night (later renamed Night Music), which was hosted by David Sanborn and presented musicians from a wide variety of genres.
He produced a live tribute concert to Tim Buckley, that ultimately launched the career of Tim's son Jeff.
Following earlier stagings, in January 2010 Willner produced his pirate-themed concert event Rogue's Gallery for the Sydney Festival.
The multinational cast included Marianne Faithfull, Todd Rundgren, Tim Robbins, Richard Strange, Gavin Friday, Anohni, Peter Garrett, Baby Gramps, David Thomas, Sarah Blasko, Katy Steele, Peaches, Glenn Richards, Liam Finn, Camille O'Sullivan, Kami Thompson, and Marry Waterson.
At the time of his death he was married to television producer Sheila Rogers, and they had one son Arlo.
Willner had symptoms consistent with COVID-19.
He died at his home on the Upper West Side of Manhattan on April 7, 2020, one day after his 64th birthday during the pandemic in New York City.
A tribute to Willner was played during the April 11, 2020 episode of Saturday Night Live, featuring both the reminiscences of current and past cast members and a choral rendition of Lou Reed's song "Perfect Day".
