Jeffrey Arthur, Neil Gottlieb, and Michael Hurley discovered a common interest in music while they were attending the University of South Florida in the early 1970s. The trio somehow attracted the attention of Clive Davis who signed them to Columbia. Co-produced by Clay Pitts and David Spinozza and recorded in New York with an all star cast of sessions players, the group made their debut with 1973’s cleverly-titled “Arthur Hurley & Gottlieb”. Arthur was responsible for all of the material which was heavily geared to sensitive singer-songwriter and country-flavored moves.
Their first single release was: ”Sunshine Ship”, an Arthur penned classic from the self titled LP. The group recorded 2 albums for Columbia before moving to A&M Records in 1975. No hits followed the “Sunshine Ship release”, and the group broke up pursuing solo ventures. Jeff Arthur went on to become an Addy winning jingle writer and producer for some of the largest advertising clients in the country.
