Ray Colcord

Ray Colcord (1949 - February 5, 2016) was an American composer and was an one time composer for The Simpsons.

Colcord was brought in to be the composer shortly after Alf Clausen was hired. Clausen had to take time off for ten days and would miss an episode as a result. It became a running joke between Colcord and Clausen for Colcord to ask Clausen when he was going to take another period off work so Colcord could fill in for him again.
