Douglas Clare Fischer (October 22, 1928 – January 26, 2012)), he was nominated for eleven Grammy Awards during his lifetime, winning for his landmark album, ''Clare Fischer & Salsa Picante Present "2 + 2"'' (1981), the first of Fischer's records to incorporate the vocal ensemble writing developed during his Hi-Lo's days into his already sizable Latin jazz discography; it was also the first recorded installment in Fischer's three-decade-long collaboration with his son Brent. Dr. Fischer was also a posthumous Grammy winner for ''¡Ritmo!'' (2012). Beginning in the early 1970s, Fischer embarked on a parallel career (and by far the more lucrative one), eventually becoming a much sought after arranger, providing orchestral 'sweeteners' for pop and R&B artists such as Rufus (with Chaka Kahn), Prince (a regular client from 1985 on, and by far Fischer's most frequent employer in this vein), Robert Palmer, Paul McCartney, Michael Jackson, Celine Dion, and many others.
