Beck's Dad Worked On Beyonce's 2006 Album, And Basically All Your Other Favorites

Beck and BeyoncĂ© have more in common than just Kanye West. As Redditor Sitdownyo pointed out, Beck’s father, David Campbell, worked on Beyonce’s “B’Day.”

Campbell is credited for string arrangement and conducting on the 2006 Grammy-winning album. According to his MTV biography, Campbell specifically contributed to the track “Listen.”

As the Toronto Star notes, Campbell is an “arranger, orchestrator, conductor and sometimes session player,” and he’s worked on some of the biggest albums of the last 50 years: Adele’s “21,” Taylor Swift’s “Red,” Carole King’s “Tapestry” and Justin Timberlake’s” FutureSex/LoveSounds” (as well as many of his son’s albums including “Morning Phase”). Campbell also played viola during recording sessions for Marvin Gaye’s “Let’s Get It On” and Bill Withers’ “Lean on Me,” among others.

Sounds like a man who is an artist and respects the artistry.
