Tadanori Yokoo



Wow this guy is amazing. I probably should have known that a few years ago, since he became famous in the 1960s, but better now then never. Musician, actor, animator, painter, illustrator, a true renaissance man.
Here are two of his songs from his excellent/crazed album Cochin Moon that he made with Haruomi Hosono in 1978:
Hum Ghar Sajan
Hepatitis
