Eiichi Ohtaki (Japanese: 大瀧 榮一, Hepburn: Ōtaki Eiichi, July 28, 1948 – December 30, 2013) was a Japanese musician, singer-songwriter and record producer. He first became known as a member of the rock band Happy End, but was better known for his solo work which began in 1972. In 2003, Ohtaki was ranked by HMV Japan at number 9 on their list of the 100 most important Japanese pop acts. Patrick Macias referred to Ohtaki as Phil Spector, Brian Wilson, George Martin, and Joe Meek "synthesized into a single human being," and called his work "an encyclopedia of everything great about pop music in the 20th century."
