Stephen Geyer Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018

Stephen Geyer (born Stephen George Geyer on November 21, 1950), a songwriter, moved to Los Angeles in 1972 after attending Towson State College (now Towson University), in Maryland, as an art major. Since coming to L.A., Stephen has made a name for himself as the writer of hit songs, popular TV themes, TV and film scripts, a non-fiction author, and studio and performance guitarist. He was born in Lima, Peru, and as the son of a CIA operative, spent most of his formative years overseas, including England where he began his professional musical career during the early Beatles years.In 1973, after having performed at the BMI showcase in the Capitol Records building in hopes of landing a recording and publishing deal, Stephen was referred by BMI V.P. Ron Anton to Mike Post, a rising star in TV scoring and record production. A twenty-year musical collaboration ensued, yielding several TV theme songs, among the most notable, “Drive” and “Back To Back” for “Hardcastle & McCormick”, “My Opionation” for Blossom and, perhaps most notably of all, “Believe It Or Not” for The Greatest American Hero, which rose to the #1 position on the Record World Chart and to the #2 position on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1981.Additionally, Stephen has the distinction of being the original songwriter (music & lyrics) for all the original episodic songs (30 overall) recorded for The Greatest American Hero television show. He also has written other material for a variety of Stephen J. Cannell productions, including The A-Team, Riptide and Stingray. Geyer and Post also penned several songs for the Tommy Lee Jones movie, The River Rat, as well as a number of TV movies including Locusts (with Ron Howard) (song “Harvest”) and The Ray Mancini Story.Joining forces with another noted composer, Charles Fox, Stephen wrote “Together Through The Years”, the theme for the variously named Valerie Harper series (i.e.The Hogan Family) as well as five songs for the soundtrack to the Scott Baio debut movie, Zapped. In 1990, Stephen was called upon to write and to supervise the songwriting staff of Steven Bochco’s harshly critiqued Cop Rock television series, now considered something of a TV cult classic.Stephen’s guitar chops quickly evolved as he worked beside the cream of L.A.’s session players on Mike Post’s record and scoring dates, and soon he was being called upon for his guitar work and musical leadership in the studio and on the road, touring with a number of artists, including Jonathan Edwards, Herb Pedersen and Carole Bayer Sager.Other noted Geyer songs include, “Hot Rod Hearts”, co-written with Bill LaBounty (#3 Billboard hit by Robbie Dupree), “Bloodline” (title song of Glen Campbell’s #1 country album), “Love Brought Us Here Tonight” (gold album by Smokey Robinson), “You Turn The Light On” (#1 platinum album by Kenny Rogers), and “Dreams” (gold album by John Denver).Stephen has received several BMI awards for his songwriting, as well as an Emmy nomination for his song “Dreams”
