Le Pamplemousse was the brainchild of Michael Lewis and Laurin Rinder. Much like Phil Spector a decade earlier, these producers would create outlets for their musical genius. These outlets or studio groups, would often feature the same musicians and singers. Interchangeable pieces in the master plan. The faces might change but the name and sound were constant. Laurin Rinder was born in Los Angeles, California on April 3rd, 1943. He knew by the age of six that he wanted to be a musician.
